Having to deal non-lethal damage to send out Child of The Old Gods feels really frustrating. If you accidentally kill the enemy (that you chose at location anchor) the void boi does not activate, and now you've wasted time and have to try again.
I would much prefer it performed a single instant check, like the consumption of a weapon's Voltshot buff, and then head out to that location. Having to watch its (Child) reaction feels a bit like a combat distraction, especially since stopping to cast Rift is already a flow interrupt.
Thanks for reading

Heavily agree. Void soul needs to deploy immediately after shooting a target. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to use void-soul & immediately remembered why i view it with such disdain. it doesn't matter what weapon you use, that child just won't let go of you. Things die too fast for it to detach from you. In PvP I'll get a person down really low & the void soul still won't leave me. Good ability for the most part, just inconsistent & not worth the frustration.
