    Please address the HIVE charge cooldown not allowing any switching of skills...

    As it stands now, if I die in the start of a mission, I can not change that skill in the HIVE slot until ALL 4 or 5 charges are off cooldown.

    This is over 18 minutes on an all red build or 21 minutes on a +1 skill tier build.

    So you really want this to be how it works? I am playing solo... die at the beginning of a mission, I can't change to any other skill to try or use for the rest of that mission?

    This is a joke and needs to be fixed ASAP.

    I know the reason you think you had to do this, but you went to the other extreme and made the revive hive useless now.

    My proposal is this: Don't allow us to switch skills until that first cooldown is done, but once it gets into the charges, let us change it but keep the cooldown in the background so if I go back to the hive, it's on cooldown still recharging...

    It's so damn simple.

    Please fix this.

    If I was a horrible mean person I would say don't have an all red build and expect fast skill cooldowns or don't have a tier 1 skill build. But I am not a horrible mean person.

    cant you understand that what you are asking is to have unlimited skills to use ? what is the point of a cool down if you dont have to wait for it?

    if you wanna go all red and glass cannon you pay the price for all the small mistakes ,itsjust how it goes.

    No other skill in the game has such a ridiculous cooldown timer. The funny thing is the fix is extremely simple.

    The fix needed here is to have revive hive with a base of 1 charge. This way dps players who go down just need to wait out the 2 or 3 minutes for the 1 charge to cooldown before they are able to swap out skills. If you want more charges get a +4 revive hive charge mod but you use that at your own peril if you are an all red build.

    In legendary missions it is quite common to need to change out builds for different rooms. As of now I am forced to no longer use revive hive due to this terribly implemented "fix". I suppose I could put a spare set of hardwired in my bags to deal with it but why is this even a thing?

    If you are in DC, you can reset your cooldown(s) in White House at the shooting range, there is a switch on the right wall.
    I know.., pretty f***ing ******ed solution to the problem but sadly the only one we have.

    In the old year 1 raid I had a loadout for every boss. It's annoying now to change if your hive is on cool down, but someone almost always delta's since they won't fix that problem, so I just run back to the white house and reset when they do.

    Yup. Aware of the WH cooldown button. But they need an actual fix. This nonsense workaround for obvious issues is very annoying

    i agree the cool down on the revive is overkill , but what you are asking was abused to have unlimited skills by many and that was wrong and not intended.

    one simple solution to this without having to change how the skills normaly work would be to make the skills colldowns reset the same as your armour between rooms, but never mid combat, that would solve your problem and stop people from having to just wait for the cooldowns before the next room even if they didnt want to change something , a win win situation.

    The issue I have is that I cannot switch loadouts while running the Raid because of this. I use five different builds in the Raid and not being able to switch them quickly while out of combat between encounters is a deal breaker.

    Thanks for posting this critical issue. For players like me who switch from Skill to Crit during missions this issue is a nightmare. Fix it please!!!!!!
