Rift

[badname912]

Rift is one of the most underwhelming AOE spells. It used to be THE mage AOE spell. Its recast to damage ratio is surpassed by other classes abilities. I look at the BL for example with Luclins Pain, it has a 30 sec recast vs Rift at 90 secs... Yet Luclins hits just has hard as rift does.

In my opinion Rift is doing great on Heroics, in raid I can see it being useless. But with ready up and reuse, and if you have recap, it’s solid. Id like to see the reuse reduced maybe 25-30% and maybe the dmg increased by 15-20%

+1, I think a casting speed reduction to the base and a damage increase is warranted.

Base damage and casting speed reduction to a tle scale as well not just "126+" like a lot of other things as well. Rift is very underwhelming on tle as well.

would like to see them make adjustments that would not negatively affect TLE or Live together. The inclusion of the "above lvl 126" was def there to not throw off TLE balance. Like when they nerfed Curse of Darkness cause of TLE it negatively affected the live version as well..

Oh I thought they nerfed CoD because of live, Silverman, though I don't actually know.

That would have been odd because CoD was really only ever the parse topper for one fight in labs -- Uustalastus Xiterrax

The idea that they'd nerf an ability because it performs incredibly well in one fight is obnoxious. That's the purpose of the game. To create opportunity such that communication and collaborative play can help the mage group --- the greatest source of encounter damage --- a moment of shining glory.

To me that is what the game is all about.

to not throw off TLE changes.. just go the route they did with like acid or so...

above lvl 126 increase spell
id like to see a 2x-3x increase in this ability as its a long recast and is supposed to be THE aoe ability in the game.. It should feel powerful. it used to be such a class defining ability..
