How do we want Hood buffed?

Personally,
1) increased Crit and damage while invisible (like Falcon Lock-On mechanic)
2) Keep invisibility the same, but let us Parry consistently.
3) Change his SP3. At present, maxing your damage guarantees you will get hit with an SP3 and die. Adding a power drain to the bleed would be perfect. Not even a strong drain, just enough to drain 1/2 to 1 bar of power.
4) Most important for me: Keep his flow. He is a character that flows.
Right now, there are few bad moments for him.
Invisible is great for baiting, cool down has enough power control to keep you out of SP3 danger and offers stun protection.
New Hood felt awkward and had too many added timers/bullet counters.
Old Hood already has a Invis timer, cooldown timer, shock to stun timer, bleed timer.

Instead of relying on the bullet mechanic, just have a “hex counter” (not persistent charges) that increases on the defender as the staggers get replaced/expire.
Keep his sp2 fate seal, add the sp2 hex vulnerability and heavy detonate from the buffed version. Remove the regen.
(If the devs want to limit his damage burst with heavy, then increase the base damage of the hex detonate and exponentially decrease each additional hex’s detonate damage.)
Besides that, the new buffed version was actually pretty fun to play.. but lacked the utility to actually warrant a rank up.
For any DOT, the heavy will refresh and stack another. Cap it at 20?
Increase damage.
Viable for nodes that require debuffs.
