Replace Gale Winds passive with a new one to make Typhoon a knock up instead of a knock back

Choice node below Typhoon with Incessant Tempest (reduces Typhoons CD by 5 sec).

Edit: Suggestion based off the comments, a typhoon choice node for a knock up/knock back option, giving the player the option if they want to opt into mass grip with a typhoon/vortex combo, or knock up.

…and loose my gorefiend’s grasp?
No thanks.

Increased range option and knock up option. Take out the reduced timer

4

if typhoon is 18 yards, and vortex is 8 yards, how would you be losing gorefiend’s grasp?

5

I guess there could be situations as a boomy/resto where you’re not near the vortex and the increased range could help that

6

You would first have to understand what Gorefiends grasp is and does and how Vortex works in order to understand how a knock up would take away the quasi grasp

7

huh? if the knock up passive replaces gale winds passive, you could just take incessant tempest & still have the regular vortex + typhoon combo, no?

Gale winds means bigger grasp
Replace incessant tempest if you want a knock up.

I thought the knock back part of typhoon is unaffected by gale winds, isn’t typhoon just a bigger radius/range? the mobs would still need to be in the vortex, which regular typhoon can hit

10

Monkeys paw. It would change typhoon from knock back to a knock up. It would alter the base of the spell. Guaranteed.

11

that would be the intention, so you wouldn’t have to vortex. the mass grip can still be done if you run regular typhoon + incessant tempest at the same value. the mobs still need to be in the vortex, which regular typhoon can hit

12

could also maybe just make typhoon a choice node for an option of knock up vs knock back, i suppose.

13

That one. I choose that one :point_up:

Knock up is great for interrupt. But the grip to stack everyone on top of one another where I want them :ok_hand:

If you just want to interrupt without displacing mobs. use roar.

If you want to use typhoon as an interrupt without displacing mobs, use vortex first for pseudo gorefiend. (Imps in CoS)

No need for a talent.

How about a talent to invert Typhoon into a long range cone grip.

Vortex only stacks mobs that are already stacked… If you think a 3 yard radius grouping from vortex is somehow comparable to gorefiends…

17

Ah yes, and Gorefiends just randomly displaces mobs randomly within 5 yards of the target. Good talk

I guess these nonsensical compulsory replies are how one reaches 9000 comments?

This clown doesn’t know the difference between radius and diameter.

Lmao.

How embarrassing for you!
