Thoughts on introducing the idea of Riptide to Enhance tree or Shaman in General in place of Healing Wave or keep Healing Wave? Rank 1 of Riptide only, should it be A Rune? Ideas, thoughts, work the numbers on Riptide.
You guys should get riptide but id say a resto rune in a new slot rather then a enhance talent.
What the hell is a “Riptide” ?
If you are being serious. It is a instamt cast small heal that also does a heal over time.
There wont be any changes to the talent trees or primary skills as this would impact the ERA servers. However there is no reason it couldn’t be a rune in P2.
Just out of curiosity, why would you want this skill especially as enhance?
Its an instant cast hot that buffs your chain heal on that target and those there after. I would think level 40 would be a good time to introduce it. I hope they also add the “Call Of …” and Totemic Recall at 40 as well.
Heals. It’s an instant cast heal over time that heals some health initially, and some health over time. Think like Regrowth, but a bit weaker and lower mana cost.
It’s also on a 6 second cooldown like shocks.
(it doesn’t need to do anything else)
Would also love the new weapon imbues like Earthliving and the spell damage variant of Flametongue to make the class feel more complete.
Riptide Rank 1
Talent
18% of base mana 40 yd range
Instant 6 sec cooldown
Requires Shaman
Heals a friendly target for 639 to 691 and another 665 over 15 sec. Your next Chain Heal cast on that primary target within 15 sec will consume the healing over time effect and increase the amount of the Chain Heal by 25%.
Copied from the Wrath spell
I do think Riptide should be added via a rune in P2, but i dont think it should replace any other spells. It should be an addional spell in the resto shaman toolkit.
Thank you for the template now, lets re work the numbers so it scales to SoD? Would be nice to get a insiders look on this if not just for fun.
