[Wendy Skill Tree] Please separate the cooldowns for Team Spirit commands.

[DegenerateFurry]

Currently, all Team Spirit commands share the same cooldown. Want to have Abigail move into a group of enemies and then spook them? Too bad, you have to wait. Want to have her spook something and then go into escape mode? Also not an option. Having them all on the same cooldown is a bad thing because it prevents players from creatively combining commands in fun and effective ways. 

Also, having separate cooldowns would let us have different cooldowns for different commands (haunt should have basically no cooldown - you can't even spam it on the same thing as-is due to how haunting works, so all removing the cooldown would do is let you switch between haunting different things faster). So, that'd be a good quality-of-life improvement.

I think being able to command Abigail more efficiently would make her significantly better to play, as well as make her way more unique than other characters that rely on limited followers namely Bernie and the shadow puppets, so I've been advocating for this for a while

I always liked the idea of controlling Wendy and Abigail together to maximize their potential, even if it sounds like a nightmare for console players

A mod for mapping the commands to your keys and another one to have the cooldowns visible at all times is the way to go, makes it sooo much better to use.

Since you are controlling 2 characters, you need pitch perfect precision to maximize dps, which is not really as big of a dealbreaker with other characters, as you take some steps back and use it from a distance, instead of actively interacting with it.

I agree at least some of them should definitely have different cooldowns to make it really practical to use.

Yeah, I use the mod that lets you map keys for commanding Abigail, it's great. I miss when it let me bypass the cooldowns. Having separated cooldowns would at least be a decent compromise between full control of Abigail and what we have now.

Yeah, definitely, both the mod and separate cooldowns.

I'm just saying that a mod to see the cooldowns on screen without opening the wheel would be really neat as well for Abigail, since those are commands you are to use quite frequently in a fight. I might get to do it at some point.

And making the commands cooldown separate would smoothen her gameplay and add new combat possibilities, so I do hope it gets implemented.

I'm kinda surprised they aren't already a thing.

• Haunt is non-combat (WHY RNG), so shouldn't share a cooldown
• Scare is too strong as is and needs a longer cooldown to avoid stunlcoks
• Attack at and escape could share a cooldown, but there's no reason for them ALL to be the same cd.

Maybe they should make it like Woby's commands, to have turn on and off option, so Abby just does it on some seperate cd when it is needed. I guess it will be tough to implement or use, so I am not confident in this suggestion.

I don't really agree that scare needs to be unable to stunlock things. Maxwell can stunlock things with Shadow Sneak. The rest I agree with.

I currently have an unreleased mod (waiting for the official release of the update) to display her cooldown in addition to other QoL features (alt+RMB to drink elixir, context-dependent MMB to cast spells precisely). However, I show it on the flower itself so I'll probably have to think of a different display for the cooldown in the event that they change them to be separate. :P
