Searing Bond Partnered Descent Race

"
Instead of the usual solo Descent races, you can now be bonded to one other player by the skill, Searing Bond.

This would require a completely new play style, which encourages you and your partner to stay close and "pincer strike" enemies to keep the searing effect on them. Searing Bond would level up each time you descend another level, reaching level 15 at the Infernal Shrine. If your partner dies, you carry on without Searing Bond. These races could still be played solo. The reward chests would need to be reworked of course, but I'm sure GGG can do this.

Running with the idea, you could combine this with other race types such as Immolation(BI), Ancestral(BA), Turbo(BT). Personally I would love a Bonded Immolation Turbo(BIT).

I originally thought of doing Bonded Party races, but six characters all with a searing bond between each other would probably cause WAY too much lag and kill things absurdly fast. This idea originated in a similar thread, but was different(and cool) enough to warrant its own.

I also suggest Searing Bond Partnered Endless Ledge races.

GGG could also make the searing bond use the "Green Searing Bond" alternate art effect as advertisement similar to how rogues in anarchy use alternate art effects.

I like the idea very much! Such a race would be great.
Thanks for the support. I think this new type of race adds a different dimension(new strategies and such) to the game and would help bring more people into the racing scene. It could even bring more players into the game in general.
