Fade Focus ability?

Vortex did been a good ability to fade.
I think, imba-ability, if you removed it.

But the Stab is 1 level ability now. Is so weak and last research, only if aliens have 100+ resources.

Who came up with that this ability is not allowed to use Blink, when you charge? Why can not I make Stab holding a first strike, and it only works as a one-touch?

Example::
I push KEY_2 to select the Stab. I hold the MOUSE1 and blinking with MOUSE2 because i stack to someone marine. I push out the MOUSE_1 and will stab-strike it, after what i push KEY_1 and attack him with claws.

But stab doing full damage to resource towers, what strongly need at game-begins.

as a commander, i rarely research stab even if top of player list is filled with fades, simply because it takes so long to activate that noone ever uses it, and when they do they miss, making it even more worthless than web

With how goddamn slippery good marines are, I feel like stab could even be balanced with an existant but very low delay of like, 0.3 secs or something. Ramp it up to bio8 and we're good, riiiiiight?

Its more of a secondary research option, not vital but useful if you have the resources to spare, IIRC it does full damage to marine structures which can be useful if your fade is not doing hit and run attacks.

Webs are far more useful than you can imagine, again not vital but very effective it you use them correctly, if I had a $1 for every time I've lured a standard marine or jetpacker into certain death I'd be able to kickstart an NS3 project.

If you find web worthless you either severely underestimate its use or you just have stupid gorges.
