Dimensional Rift casting animation

So since it seems we’re inexplicably gonna be stuck with Dimensional Rift forever despite the majority of players not liking it can we at least get the cast animation fixed?

Unique ultra-rare example of an animation that actually uses your staff and it’s been reduced to our characters just raising their arm to the sky holding nothing like idiots for a very long time and I can’t imagine this would take days to fix.

pls fix this blizz. My in-game shoulder raises aren’t giving me the gains I need if there isn’t a heavy staff in my hands.

Who decided that? :thinking:

come on man you are like the the small percentage of people that like Rift and even worse that Life Rift animation lets not pretend that you guys are a wide majority , it seems clunky and not only that, the Rift animation itself delays the dmgs, the way rift deals dmgs is incredibly slow, they need to change everything about how the spell works if they want to forces us again into it

Still not sure how you’re so certain of this. Plenty of people seem to think Rift is cool. :man_shrugging: If it needs improvements, whatever, but that’s no reason to throw out such a cool ability.

there was a voting for s4 teir set, you were like the 20% not sure if s2 teir set beat you

The majority of players didn’t even vote on the poll. If you don’t like Rift, cool. But I do, and I’m far from the only one.

yep like the 20% of the lock community that its alrdy a pretty small

It’s admittedly anecdotal evidence but I’ve heard more people not liking it by an OVERWHELMING amount due in no small part to it locking us out of Chaos Incarnate, but also because it’s slow, and has like two layers of RNG that just make it clunkier to use.

It’s also pretty telling that people preferred to go back to the super boring flat crit S1 bonus for S4 rather than the Dimensional Rift or Channel Demonfire sets; both skills that I’ve been hearing people complain about all expansion. You’re allowed to like it but I’m very sure you’re in the minority; I liked Channel Demonfire myself but I’m under no illusion that it’s a popular skill.

now that CI will be pretty butt if they dont change it, even if it shared a node it wouldn’t matter too much lol

blizz monkey paw strikes again

I like rift but don’t want it in the middle of the tree. If you’re fighting a raid or dungeon boss it doesn’t matter if it’s slow, you just drop it and let it gogogo. I got used to the lessons of space time play style in Legion, wouldn’t mind trying the talent. But yeah, fix the animation

The WoW forums are not the community you want voting on these things.

Rift is fine, good and fun to play, amazing movement… potential to do good things. Yeah could be better like stacking with Havoc but honestly - if you’re watching cast animations on an instant cast… you probably arent doing what you’re meant to be doing in a raid or M+ environment.

i mean to be fair, the current TWW tree has DR not sharing a node with CI

? I watch all my animation while clearing top level content what do you mean? if you have ADHD that’s on you pal, also like the guy above just said, if you like Rift fine do not pretend you are something close to a majority you are sitting in the back of the bus with the other 3 weird kids, that’s it, I like soul fire but I’m not here telling everyone that we are a bunch of people LOL I’m the random guy screaming doomsday outside of a mall

Yeah but they also likely killed Chaos Incarnate at the same time with the nerfs to it, which is pretty annoying.

If I’m casting while moving I generally don’t have a whole lot else going on beside looking at my animations. Regardless leaving a simple broken animation bugged for months is just sloppy, especially when it’s been tied to a mandatory pick for a class.

Not having rifts recharge from immolate kind of ruins the whole thing for me tbh :confused:

I wish the choice was between soulfire proc build or rift proccing off immolate build.
