Mage can use timelock to tpspam, but it consumes all wind and only lasts a short time. I think it's unfair that warrior can chargespam unconditionally.

#

adding tpspam for mages.

vestal eagle
#

but how do you add tp spam as a a viable source of damage when a -23587235 tp cost weapon exists

I feel like a rework of timelocked (please) could probably make tp spam more viable

unique hinge
#

it is getting buffed next patch so we'll see

The devs are trying to nerf chargespam actually

unique hinge
#

they're nerfing the playstyle instead of the morbillion buffs that make it so broken gotta love how competent the ct are at balance 🙏

vestal eagle
#

pretty sure there looking at doing both

vestal eagle
#

idk hopefully timelock changes will make it more usable

#

yeah there are so many nodes that are just kinda useless

#

and it relies on manastorm to be viable

wary ginkgo
#

It's just not as easy to change abilities without making any individual one useless

wooden pollen
#

change the double cast tp effect to cast the second time in the opposite direction back to the start

wary ginkgo
#

well that would make actually getting anywhere with teleport be impossible
I'd personally prefer to see it allow you to use shift as toggle between forwards and backwards

wooden pollen
#

your riftwalker ... you have 300% speed boost

#

and its always optional to not take the double cast

#

but sure

#

could be toggle

wary ginkgo
#

the 300% speed boost is completely unusable in combat so surrendering teleport would make for a nightmare of movement options

wooden pollen
#

lol

#

instead of making the speed boost drop off the second you stop sprinting have it decay at like 20% per second

#

cuz isnt it not instant 300%? isnt it that you build up speed longer you sprint?

wary ginkgo
#

it builds up the longer you sprint yea

#

issue is sprint is limited and shaman is the only class that can fight while not looking at an enemy (not literally, there's playstyles on other classes that are able to, but shaman very frequently can)

wooden pollen
#

thats why i said make it decay instead of go away ... turn riftwalker archetype into more of a battlemage instead of just arcanist 0.5

#

also just another fun idea since riftwalker can be a more close range damager type thing (cuz the teleport shenanigans) they should add an optional passive somewhere that turns ice snake into an expanding ring around you instead of a straight line or following your cursor

#

mostly because ice snake and teleport are the only 2 skills that dont have like real transformations, heal has the mana bank on arcanist and meteor becomes orphion on lightbender

wooden pollen
#

or maybe you still get access to the real teleport with that effect ... but the snapback still happens 4 seconds after you pressed it the first time with a 4 second cooldown so everything within those 4 seconds doesnt just spam your concurent tp locations

#

unless thats already a thing and im just dum

wary ginkgo
#

it's not
riftwalker has very few mechanically complex abilities

#

the most complicated one is Timelock, everything else is pretty straightfoward

wooden pollen
#

lol

#

honestly with the way things are right now it just feels like riftwalker is just more tame arcanist lol (probably because arcanist can steal winded from riftwalker kek)

wary ginkgo
#

riftwalker right now is literally arcanist with heal but you need to focus on spell costs to actually do anything because manastorm single-handedly makes sustaining 12 cps possible

wooden pollen
#

ye so im not insane lel

wary ginkgo
#

an entire archetype just used for winded damage boost because one arcanist ability is way stronger with it than actual arcanist

wooden pollen
#

arcanist AND lightbender do it lel

#

pretty sure ... cuz it buffs orphion too

wary ginkgo
#

yea it buffs ophanim

wooden pollen
#

ophanim

#

eeek hard to remember names

#

like on archer sharpshooter might be bad ... but at least it still stands out from boltslinger and trapper

#

meanwhile riftwalker is salvaged for parts xD

vestal eagle
#

i was wondering if skipjack could make time dilation actually viable in tna

wooden pollen
#

owo

vestal eagle
#

because you can charge it super fast by swimming in the start pool

#

and as long as you can kill greg before you run out of sprint

#

it could make low ws mage possible

vestal eagle
wooden pollen
#

just change it so that if you sprint it grows and when you leave sprint it decays so you dip in and out of sprint for partial buff xD

vestal eagle
#

as depending on team greg can take 3s or 5 minutes

vestal eagle
wooden pollen
#

true

#

ranges kinda suck when you have to factor in like player to player lag and stuff

wooden pollen
#

maybe a little bigger but generally ye

vestal eagle
#

idk maybe just remove the fact it buffs other players at all

wooden pollen
#

im down but it was cool idea

vestal eagle
#

it seems like it would be very annoying to actually use for anything tho

wooden pollen
#

ye

#

its just a flavor passive sadge

#

not really practical for anything but it fits a theme

vestal eagle
#

would be fine if literally every single other node for rift apart from winded wasnt like that

wooden pollen
#

yeeeeeee

south vale
#

the real suggestion is that blink should teleport foward and then backward to the same spot if you cast it while holding shift

#

Rift DPS being teleport would be really... thematic but warp does kinda throw it all outta wack

lime frigate
#

or just make teleport not actually teleport yourself when you trigger an alternate attack
have all matters such as the space and air between you and your target shift and crush the target

wooden pollen

also its funny thunderstorm exists but its never really expanded on ever
