Both barricade and rift need a speed up -hunter main agrees

Warlocks in general are the weakest class in PvP by a country mile. Rifts are the least of their problems IMHO.

The biggest complaint I ever see from rifts or barricades are people dying while deploying them...they’re meant to be anticipatory actions, not reactionary actions.

[quote]Titan's have their Barricade that damages people as they go through it. And it's a quick through up. The Hunters have their dodge and with the right gear they can disorient you or heal themselves. Not to mention, instantly reload or turn invisible. The best thing we have is Arc Soul. But even then, setting up a rift takes so much time. The second the rift appears Warlocks should be able to move again. Anyone can just run up to a tagged warlock and just finish them off because they're stuck in a long animation. What's the point to a healing rift overshield if it can't protect you from a titan's shoulder charge or a shotgun? Enemies should be damaged walking into the rift like they would be if they ran through a barricade. Something to make them more viable in pvp and pve. Edit: Bungie, this has been trending for two days straight. It's something the audience is talking about. A lot of the comments are asking for a buff to the Titan Barricade and Warlock Rift animation speeds.[/quote] Uhh learn how to use it properly? Your just bad at using the rift.

We need exotic to make rift different, such as boost def, abilities regeneration rate. It can also act as trap to debuff enemy or damage enemy.

I play all classes but play more warlock and both titan barricade and rifts need a buff to how fast they deploy their ability. Titans might be slightly faster than warlocks but they are still very slow, the whole point of a titan is to make room for their team but they cant even do that on a game where everything dies in less than a second. Warlocks were meant to be a damage/healer class but they cant even do that when their rifts are so slow, Its impossible to heal a teammate in time before they die to a thorns poison or an incendiary grenade because casting a rift is slow and leaves warlocks exposed even behind walls. These slow animations were fine back in vanilla because the ttk of the game then was almost 2 boring seconds so it made sense to have slow animations for balance. The game is now very fast paced and many things have changed over they years so there is absolutely no reason why barricade and rifts casting animations need to stay where they are. Hunters have always had a balanced and snappy dodge which is awesome so I don’t see why anyone would even say its not logical to buff a simple speed animation for 2 classes. For any idiot that says “Its not a panic button or you gotta cast it before the enemies get to you” shut up, what a stupid and ignorant thing to say. Thats some hunter thing to say, how can a hunter main understand when they have always had a reliable class ability? They say “oh but you can die from it!” Again, shut up. Dodge has more benefits than a simple get out of jail card, dodge provides a break in aim assist while dodging, it breaks tracking grenades from chasing you like axiom bolt or firebolt, it can stop stormtrance from dealing damage to you while you are in the middle of dodging and on top of all that, dodging provides the ability to either reload your weapon or return a full melee charge all while having a really fast cool down. Damage rifts and the small barricade for titans are a joke and everyone knows it. A simple speed buff animation wont hurt anyone but grant a much needed quality of life change to already 2 underperforming abilities.

Warlocks (and I say this as a long time Warlock main) have been the master class for a long while. Not to mention rifts are not [i]nearly[/i] as bad as you think. Chill out dude

this is a troll right?

Instructions unclear, removed barricade shield

Imagine using a rift in the wrong scenarios and then complaining its bad. 😂

Being in a rift is like having 2 healthbare. You destroy eveyone in primary 1v1 and do a huge pressure on your opponents for longer then you need. Moreover, it's too powerful if you can save your life and also get an advantage on your opponents as the hunter with the old wormhusk crown, the dodge was a second life without disadvantages. So, if you do that buff, you need to reduce the healing effect.

We need an Exotic armor piece that make rifts repel grenades, that would be hilarious.

Sounds like you're using rifts wrong. It's not a panic button. They are a chess piece that you move into place far before the enemy charges at you.

They could be worse. They could be a Titan wall which is only good for revives in trials.

I’d like to see both barricade and rift animations sped up a little

I am warlock main Rift is fine all you need learn how to use it Run slide rift that quicker

I would like it if Warlock rifts were able to be casted from a distance, like you throw a light ball and where it lands, the rift appears after a short delay, and making it so any enemy guardian that walks into it gets slowed if you use the healing rift or their damage drops a bit if using empowering rift? That would make it unique so that Warlocks have more flexibility when using the rifts while giving them a bit more utility when used offensively?
