Sab Rework

After several years of waiting its happening.

What I am curious about is what the intent is with the rework. Sab has alot of problems currently. But I'm sort of wondering what direction Trion will be taking the soul. But moreover, what do you guys want to see?

I'd personally like to see a way for sab to use focus charges verses the usual AOE damage charges they have. One of the main issues with sab is that while its great in an AOE situation, it doesn't really have much viability beyond that. Because of that its not desirable in raids, dungeons or open world content beyond situation bosses that require trash pack management. In PVP its a great soul in some warfronts but primarily just in Port Scion.

Back in the day you could stack single target charges in such a way as to do big damage and it made the saboteur very desirable in dungeons. But with the changes early on to fix a bug which was multiplying detonate damage way to high, the class was useless until it was overhauled to be AOE focused. That left us where we are now.

What I would like to see generally is a more versatile burst focused DPS soul. So lower on the consistant dps but great damage over time from bleeds/burns and heavy burst potential.
I also think there is good utility possibilities with sabs for CC bombs or traps. better synergy with another soul or two other than bladedancer might also make the sab more interesting.

Thoughts?
