#Riftwalker suggestions

I'm not suggesting a huge rework in how this archetype supposed to operate since I like how it performs right now, but the current issue with riftwalker is that diffusion, as a red node, is being plainly useless; and gust, costing only 1 ap, is overly strong.

A few suggestions that I have:

  • Move diffusion to be optional
  • Gust wind application 3 -> 2
  • Add a new red node at where diffusion once were to help players build up their wind
  • Transonic Warp AP requirement 2 - > 1

I wouldn't make any direct suggestions on the new wind application ability I mentioned (cuz I don't really know what it should be yet). I do think that having more diversified wind application methods will help this archetype.

Do what you guys did to shepherdlike

rift on teleport and then you can walk through the rift

#

Decreasing gust application is gonna have really big repercussions unless the new red node can make up for it

Rift already has a planned rework anyways t-t

gust applying 3 winded was like the main reason why it got viable

that said, i feel like melee application should be better than it is now

then i had an idea how to make it so you don't get screwed when ppl kill your mobs: killing mobs with winded will spawn a vortex that decays by 1 winded every 2 seconds, it will jump onto the nearest mob whenever possible

#

although if that diffusion gets changed, then maybe winded application speed nerf could work

alternatively gust could get nerfed by applying 3x winded to only 1 mob and everything else gets only 1x so it nerfs the buildup speed against swarms while not killing single target buildup

#

but flat 3->2 reduction would make it kinda suck

#

rift is already insanely broken when fighting swarms and just slightly above average for single targets, so ig shifting a bit of that power towards single target buildup could help

Gus wasn't even bad when it was only applying 1 wind at a time back then, there is no way changing the wind application from 3 to 2 will make it non-viable. It is true that the melee wind application is certainly not very great, so if the CT decides to nerf gust, then they must add new wind application systems.

#

Regardless of what, diffusion certainly doesn't deserve to be red

non timelock manastorm rift does a steady 300k before the change

#

you just simply wouldn't get enough winded to do your cycle without most small enemies dying

#

on big enemies winded was a pain to get

#

if gust was changed id write off rw entirely tbh

gritty gull
#

on small mobs yes

#

There is a full rework planned already btw

There'll be some compensation for losing winded for the other 2 archetypes dw

#

I guess the most basic compensation for lightbender is to give more damage based on how much you heal and arcanist based on how much mana you dump

#

And by that point rift could get damage based on how much it moves

#

wtf nerf gust? r u crazy. how about buff melee winded application instead

#

gust winded to 2 will kill this archetype

#

imagine having to do 17 gusts just for one timelock 💀

meanwhile rift can legit pull off 1.5m dps in timelock, so it really varies

#

Having 2 red nodes be purely on just building up winded seems a bit strange to me tbh

#

-# Imo it'd be much better if that was instead something unique that worked off your winded.

gritty gull
#

uh

#

btw when sharpshooter 3rd red node

brisk delta
#

There already is a 3rd red node

#

Wait nvm misread what you sent

#

It'll most likely be in the actual Sharp rework or something
