Ritual Scarab of Wisps

Hi GGG!

I just figured I'd give my piece about the new Scarab of Wisps in Rituals.

Although I love the idea, I just think the execution is making the ritual experience much worse than it previously was - especially for melee builds.

Problem 1:
The Wisps constantly move away from you - which is fine, because you can change the direction of it depending on where you stand in relation to the orb - but the problem is that if you move close enough to it, it tends to just teleport away. Sometimes seemingly randomly, because it's not necessarily while standing on top of the orb, but sometimes a bit random while in the orb's radius, such that it's hard to move it without triggering the teleport.

Problem 2:
With all spells and monsters around the wisp, it's not telegraphed well enough to be able to see it (especially when it's teleporting away), losing you a lots of tribute in the process.

Problem 3:
Since the Scarab is so important if you're trying to maximize the value out of your ritual, it feels really bad to skip out on it, and it forces you to deal with this as a result.


I'm writing this while doing this as a ranged character, but I can not even begin to imagine how much worse the experience would be as a melee character - and by melee I mean "true melee".


Solution 1:
I love the fact that the orb moves away from you depending on your location (it would be essential for melee builds to be able to gain tribute for it), and that you can "chase it" wherever you want it to go (i.e. into the monster packs), but in order for this to feel nice, the teleport has to go. It's just much clutter to be able to keep track of it.

Solution 2:
Make the orb move towards random enemies, and remove the teleport completely. This way you still have to focus on the orb, it will feel much smoother as a malee build, and the orb wont get semi-stuck into walls at the side of the circle. This is probably my favorite solution.


Just my two cents.

Have a great day!
