One common problem I run into with my Warlock is that my Rift just isn't that viable, or at least it feels that way. The Rift casting animation is slow, and I die quite often while casting it, that's a problem in its own right, but the fact that Rift requires us to be stationary is also a liability. Destiny 2 is a game that really requires movement; standing still will get you killed by sniper fire, or AoE attacks, or having a Drop Pod fall on our head, or we need to chase enemies, or we need to complete objectives, or there's a modifier that kills us if we stand still for too long... Rift just doesn't feel like it's cut out for the modern meta. The healing is okay, but we don't get to use it very often, and when we do, it's rare to get the most out of it. I mostly use Rift as an emergency top off for my health; it's hard to use Rift proactively when we're just going to be moving out of it anyway. Standing still isn't just a liability to our survival, it's a liability to our damage and DPS as well: I cast my Rift, the enemy runs around a corner, I either leave my Rift to chase or wait for the enemy to come back. Rift is slow and it's stationary, those are real problems in Destiny 2. In boss battles and group battles, combat where the Warlock isn't the main or sole focus of enemy fire, combat where the boss might be standing still for a while, that's where Rift can shine, but that's rather a niche circumstance compared to the bulk of combat in the game where we're all running around like headless chickens. Best solution I can think of: Make Rift an aura, or give us an aura option, so we can carry our Rift with us. Titans have the benefit of Banner of War, which often feels like it provides better utility and healing than my Rift; and no, this is not a call to nerf Titans. Alternatively, if casting Rift could provide subclass benefits, like instant Amplified, Restoration, Overshield, Woven Mail, Frost Armor, something to make us more durable, something to provide an instant and lingering benefit, that could be useful, too. Our Rift feels like a liability in a lot of circumstances, the casting animation is slow and deadly, the need to be stationary reduces our survivability and damage, it lacks utility outside of fairly specific combat scenarios, and it feels outclassed by other classes. Elden Ring has healing potions, Destiny 2 has a circle. Edit: A lot of replies explaining to me how well Rift works on paper, and I agree, Rift works well on paper, it just doesn't survive contact with the actual game. Planting a Rift behind cover to catch your breath is okay, assuming you keep line of sight with your enemy, assuming you don't get hit by an AoE, assuming you don't get overrun by mobs, assuming a lot of other things, but in practice I usually have to abandon my Rift almost as soon as I've dropped it. Someone mentioned that the Rift trades healing for Mobility, what I'm saying is that sacrificing mobility also sacrifices survivability, even with the healing present.
