this buff wouldnt be THAT huge in terms of actual gameplay value becuz there r still better wands imo but making blast wave tier based could be a cool idea i think (as in similar to fireblast or regrowth) where tier 1 is the same, t2 could be vertigo for a few turns (lasts longer if the target got paralyzed) and t3 could be a random trap triggered at the spot where the target ends up, not where u initially aimed it (only activates if the enemy is alive after and doesnt affect u if u got hit with it too so u cant die to a random grim trap or smth dumb) i feel like the last one kinda sounds like a cursed wand effect tho so idk 🤷🏽♂️ maybe this is a dumb idea but i feel like itd be a fun addition, ive never rly dumped blast wave b4 and this would be funny if i ever got to use it

You lost me at "there r still better wands imo" blast wave is arguably the best wand.

lol yea
blast wave is already OP
also this is a nerf
lol
cuz it means it spends more charges

- there is no need for another fireblast charge setup
- you are looking at BW as offensive pick, while main strength of this thing is knockback it creates even at low levels

Blast wave offensively is actually pretty good, given it can instakill via chasm and is able to rack up lots of bonus impact damage otherwise
Mage's arcane vision and sniper's farsight synergize excellently with it too
Plus triggering traps can add to its damage potential in some situations
It's a wand that doesn't let you down. Which honestly is pretty impressive, given most wands have some sort of serious shortcoming or inefficiency. Technically you can throw yourself into bad spots with it when using it at melee range, but that trait can also be really useful
The only actual issue with it is the garbage base damage, which isn't even that bad. 1-3 at base is bad yeah, but it also gains 1-3 with every upgrade.

and at higher levels
youre guaranteed to wall hit them
if direct hit
so thats extra damage too
it scales quite well

If I’m not playing mage, I’m literally hoping I get blast wave. +0 at that. It makes prisons so much easier to the point of trivial. I don’t see why it needs a buff. Imo even u remove the damage from the wand, it wouldn’t make a difference - to me at the very least. Well the mage would need the dmg so I’m okay with it being there.

Pushing enemies into walls, traps or chasms is always useful. Yes, it's not a direct damage wand, but it's potentially very strong in tactical utility
