Commando in 3.0 - why is there a pushback reduction utility?

[Nukoff]

Specifically, the Combat Shield utility in the masterful tier.

 

"Reactive Shield now further decreases ability activation pushback by 30% and makes you immune to interrupts."

 

I thought the concept of pushback was done away with in 3.0. Did someone in BW forget to edit the descriptions or is pushback not universally gone?

Its only gone for casted abilities e.g. Full Auto

[Gyronamics]

75% pushback on casts.

 

Basically no more casting perfectly like gunslingers anymore.

 

Also puts a complex burden on our shield now as a combination... interrupt protection, pushback protection, defence, reflective damage.

 

Getting a bit overloaded.

 

And enjoy final burn phases which are you vs the boss punching each other in the face like Titan 6, Council and a bunch of others I cba to remember.

 

Just sages and commandos with pushback these days.

Ah, thank you.

Not quite. It's gone from channeled abilities like Full Auto, but casted abilities like Tracer or fusion missile still have pushback.

I screwed up

 

Yeah I meant Channeled. Though I did get the example right
