So it's Demonic Circle. Void elf warlocks gonna be crazy.

Kommentar von zHwK

Im gonna reroll all my casters to Void Elves just for this ability. This is going to be a game changer in PvP for both low mobility and high mobility casters, considering the current extreme mobility of melees.

Also monks deserve a special mention, Trascendance, Rollx2, Flying Serpent Kick, Tiger Lust, Spatial Rift. GL catching them!

I have a feeling it will be nerfed though after half the alliance population has a baseline port.

Kommentar von Bferts

We'll be tripping the rift. But, Monks and Warlocks especially will benefit from this extremely. Warlocks already have their demonic circle, and demonic gateway. This will help many casters in pvp situations that lack mobility.

This is one of the new Void Elf racials.

It has a 3 minute cooldown. Upon use, it causes a void-thing to shoot out from you in the direction you are facing, slowly traveling away. You have up to 5 seconds to re-activate the ability and teleport to the current location of the void thing. If you don't reactivate it in time, the ability is still put on a 3 minute cooldown.

Contrary to what pat33 mentions below, you can move and do other things after the initial cast, it won't cancel it. Just be sure to re-activate it within that 5 second window to teleport or it will be lost.

Edit for clarity

I don't really see how this racial is all that useful. The shadow, or whatever is moving forward goes at walking speed. It can only be used in line of sight, so it does not go through objects or obstacles as some have suggested before. There is probably some use of this racial, but by the time the shadow travels 30 yards, I would have run 50 yards, it moves so slowly. Not to mention that if you don't press the button again within 5 seconds, your cast is wasted, the shadow disappears and nothing at all happens, but you do trigger your 3 minutes cooldown.

It would have been cool if the shadow stayed at the location for a while, or if we could position like we do with raid markers, or just a plain blink would have been cool. The only real use i can see of this: DBM telling you that you need to move in X seconds and in the last 5 seconds sending out the rift (Hopefully in the right direction and not into the fire) and then last moment teleport. That is assuming you do really use it within 5 seconds time frame, or you wont teleport at all and the boss is gonna kill you. :P

Edit: If it could be used while stunned or CC'd, then perhaps it would be very helpful to those with little mobility, as we would have some kind of delayed escape.

Works a lot like the Marksman Hunter talent Explosivschuss, but both sadly share a global cooldown. I was really hoping to macro the two together to create an exploding teleport. :C

Kommentar von pat33

Done 4 alts to understand it... (3 min is a long time to test a spell:)

1) Cast Räumlicher Riss (don't move or it will be wasted) you can turn or do spells.
2) Recast Räumlicher Riss under 5sec (or you will lose the spell 3 min)

End result : you will blink to where the rift walked in front for the time you let it go. 11111sec 2222222 3333333 44444 port

1 sec = 5y in front of initial rift creation AND direction. (yards are an approximation)
2 sec =10y in front of initial rift creation AND direction.
3 sec =15y in front of initial rift creation AND direction.

You can't pass thru walls or objects using Räumlicher Riss but a warrior sure:)(##RESPBREAK##)908##DELIM##Uchur##DELIM##

Kommentar von Zohast

Works kinda like Sombra's teleport in Overwatch. Throw and use within the time frame to teleport to the area you threw the shadow orb to.

Kommentar von LuthofDS

Lots of people bashing or underestimating this racial here... just makes me want to state the obvious: This racial is fantastic for pvp (especially as a monk.)

In Warsong Gulch you can come in from the second floor after having fired off the rift, grab the flag and teleport back up and to safety. There's very little anyone can do to stop you unless they catch you right as you jump down.

This is just one example of course, it's a fantastic and fun pvp racial.

Kommentar von tazzerer

Frontrunner for the most useless Racial ever. It does almost nothing, the times when it's useful are extremely limited.

Kommentar von Drakvul

Nothing really helpful to add here, everyone seems to have explained it well enough already.
instead let me give you all my thoughts.

I would have liked it if the Spatial Rift worked like Demonic Circle for warlocks, it would have felt more flavorful and rewarding to use rather than the semi-blink spell that Void Elves are currently working with. Visually, I would have also preferred it to look more like those high resolution Void Rifts/portals used by Alleria and the void-corrupted ethereals.

Think about how much cooler this racial could be for Void Elves if you know, it looks like Void, rather than some swirling shadows on the ground that you only can use within five seconds on a three minute cooldown. I imagine in a raid with a lot of spell ground clutter, a Velf (Velvety?) player might not even be able to see their Spatial Rift.

in conclusion
Visually it would be cooler as an actual Void Portal, the swirling shadows on the floor are easy to lose track of.
Gameplay wise it would be more fun if it functioned like Demonic Circle, just with the cooldown, rather than the "You have five seconds to not waste this ability, enjoy your skillshot."

Kommentar von septane

Useless. I fired it while running. When it disappears its maybe one step ahead of me. This is no blink...no demonic circle. I really don't see the use of this on such a short fuse and long cooldown.

Kommentar von Skullhawk13

I could see this racial being very good if it was a 2 minute cooldown that traveled 30% faster, but as it stands whatever use you can find for it is niche, not what you'd expect from a three minute cooldown.

I've used it all of twice on my new void elf that is already level 70. The first time it didn't even do anything because I thought it was like demonic circle, and the second it was very underwhelming.

Why would I use this when I already have shadowstep, shadowstrike, and sprint.

Even priests could just simply walk in the same amount of time, let alone body and soul or something.

The one of the only use is sometimes skipping an AoE as you don't actually travel the distance, it's a teleport. But that seems pretty underwhelming for your big racial.

Kommentar von Belpha

Would really like to be useable while stealthed

Kommentar von Sqqueeky

DON'T RUN IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE RIFT!

It isn't a blink, it's a portal, so you get the most benefit when your character is far away from the portal.

Mobs chasing you? Fire it to one side of a rock/pillar/hill and run to the other side. When you hit it, you will portal through the rock and the mobs will have to run the long way round. The rift can't go through solid objects but you certainly can. Even on flat ground, if you run at right angles to the line of fire, you can portal a fair distance.

I did some testing on the Terrace at Shrine of Seven Stars (the terrace tiles are 5 yards wide). Standing still, the max distance you can portal is about 27 yards, about the same distance you can run. But fire it in one direction and turn and run the other way, and you will portal 52 yards, way better than blink.

Fire it parallel to the front wall, then duck inside the gate, you can get right inside and portal through the wall back outside. I can see that being used in WSG hallways.

As LuthofDS mentions, you can stand with your back to the balcony rail, fire it then step off backwards, and portal back up. However the rift will not fire into empty space, if you stand on a balcony or ledge and fire it, the rift will stay right in front of you.

Hopefully this (and the comments for boss-fight use) shows that it is not a useless ability.

edit: you don't fall further than its range in the six seconds: I went to the balcony of the Purple Parlor in the Violet Citadel in old Dalaran, fired it along the balcony and jumped off, it portals you back up.

Kommentar von Califree

IMO it's a decent racial, but it *is* near useless with such a long cooldown. A minute would be more reasonable.

Kommentar von Dracul1

Honestly I am super disappointed , when I first heard of this ability I assumed it was like a mage portal that would let us travel to any where around the game, not some dumb 2 inch blink move :(

Kommentar von Boomshaklaka9000

I think it has alot of potential already... However what about slightly modifying it to be more of a juke.

Modifying the ability go on a short 30 sec (or 1min) CD when the activate window is missed. Because eventually everyone is going to get used to the rift jukes... and anticipate your teleport to it... Making it less and less useful as players learn.

A change like this might see players using it again and again... tricking players to follow the rift. But then not using it and them getting away. Would be great for nabbing the flag pretending to Spatial Rift and then getting away clean... Any thoughts?

(Sorry my mindset is always PvP

Kommentar von Barhah

Well, I love it :c

Aside from it obviously being more for PvPers, I use it all the time while leveling. The two uses that aren't mentioned too often here:

• Mining/herbing/picking up an item for a quest, if there's another node nearby, you can shoot your darkwave over at that and just in time for you to be done gathering the first one, it'll be there with two or so seconds left for you to teleport to it. Super useful? No, but I am a decadent elf.

• Didn't pick up shimmer on your mage, or you're another class? Cast the slowdown spell of your choice, especially on quest baddies with bigger health pools, then shoot the rift out when it's about halfway to you. By the time the STINKING NO GOOD ORC reaches you, your rift will be the right distance away to teleport and be at perfect kiting range again!

Like, yeah, it's not really a huge game changer for PvE, but our other racials are no joke. Just trying to open a few eyes to this not being totally useless!

Kommentar von Prophethood

Quite honestly, after having been a void elf rogue and attempting to use this ability, it is SUPER frustrating. It requires you to be 3 steps ahead of everything in the game if you want to use it effectively (face it, that's a hard thing to do, especially in PVP).

I rerolled to a female Night Elf rogue partially because of the black eyes they now have (which looks incredible), but shadowmeld is just so much more useful and can be used on the fly without having to think too much (1 button push instead of 2 with a 6 second window).

I'm very happy with my choice.. pretty much it's only good function is some PVE situations and faking people out to run away in PVP.

Kommentar von sergiochan005

This ability does not justify its 3-min long CD, unless the following traits are added:

The shadow moves faster than the normal, 150-160% would be ideal so it won't be too OP.
The caster is automatically teleported to the shadow once its duration is over.

Agree?

Kommentar von Kinria

This racial is only good for juking mobs and PvP, but its certainly not defining as a racial that everyone else may have. As it cannot be used when Stunned or Loss of control. You'll need to preemptively toss your racial out and hope that it gets you far enough away from everyone to avoid harm.

The only real use I got out of Spatial Rift was less than exploits. Spatial Rift has the unknown talent of following the ground level, and ignore most walls. There's a number of places you can toss the rift to bypass areas that are meant to be locked off. Such as Xal'atath's finale quest wall so you can explore the rest of the Crucible. Or phase through the walls of Orgrimmar's banks. The rift will always prefer to travel on the ground floor, so as long as the floor isn't connected to a wall. It'll likely go through it.

Kommentar von kain78

i rly think they were going to go with the lock porter but thought it would be to op as a racial but 2 things, at this point i dont think would be pissed if it was just changed to it, 2 and shouldn't that be the allure of these new races something a lil better then the base?

Kommentar von Cyberium

After some testing, it appears that the ball of shadow would be stopped by usual terrain glitches. Anything that looks flat but somehow stops your Mage Blink could potentially stops the ball in its track. It’s not unusual to shoot a ball only to have it remain in front of you.

Kommentar von guatafu

It reaches it's full distance (30 yds) in about 3 seconds, the rift then stays there for another 2 seconds. Don't spam and waste this ability, keep calm and time it properly.

Kommentar von merc2005

This does nothing! What is it for?

Kommentar von FAILoZOFF

Such a disappointment, I mean once in a blue moon you will find some kind of use for it... potentially. Nothing spectacular, and that 3 min CD.
XD

Kommentar von 11unone11

Velf for PvP: If you've chosen Velf for PvP for whatever reason(Rift, phantom Haste you get from spells not receiving a kickback, +5% damage bonus proc or fancy hair, whatever the reason is), then here are some informational units.

Classes:
Warlock or Priest: Good. "Phantom haste" and a fix of worst mobility with Rift-GFade(To cover CC+move somewhere)-Rift, Rift before Disperse to move somewhere, Rift far/LoS + move + Swap own full HP to allies low + Rift and Shadow Mend/get heals while "in saves", then, both classes, Rift to one pillar side, run to another(Dreamnyasha usual Warlock juke) into CC/dmg/curse/whatever(purge for ex.), as Warlock can place gates, place port max range after them, then throw Rift, in front, port, click gates(you are now super far from the Rift) and then use Rift. The change of landscape you'll experience is just this drastic. Ofc single mobility cooldown + Rift is often super strong already. 3 Minute cooldown. But this is veeeeeeeeery flash as lock.
DK/Warrior/Mage: Not so bad. "Phantom haste" for mages, getting wheelchair kited as those melees, can come back to resheep or combo with a Blink for tremendous distance creation, same with flashy warrior mobility cooldowns, if you will Leap and Charge and run and then Rift all that distance, might get out of some situation, or create one, dragging enemy healer in. Let alone BGs, or Protection/Blood specs, Dragon Charge into Leap into Charge into Intervene into Rift all that? That's some flyhack stuff! Or Fury with Barbarian talent, can go pretty far.
Rest: Only if really wanting to thrill. Sometimes it's good to not to leave chances when kiting as Hunter, and Monk or Rogue with the rift get a fancy Super Saiyan mobility. Ofc, dmg bonus goes first, but we're here for which spell? Yeah.

In total, this ability is very underlooked in both PvE and PvP, and I want people to pick it up, the skillcap of it. Even though Human or Orc anti-CC abilities are maybe just too juicy to skip, Velf does let experience some thrilling tricks no other race can manage to accomplish.

Kommentar von Niany

For the Artificer Xy'mox fight.

Kommentar von ToeRender

NGL, years back, when Void Elves first became available on the PTR I decided to give them a try, mainly because I thought this ability would be kinda cool on a rogue. Back then, it looked a little different than it does now, but I still didn't understand how it even worked. I stood there as I cast thinking okay... now what? This is dumb... *reads tooltip again and waits for CD to try again. I didn't even bother with Allied races after that. So now, that rep isn't required and all you need is to be lvl 40 and do the embassy stuff and the associated race quests (which doesn't take too much time) I decided, yeah, I'll unlock some of them I want to use (Mainly my little furry murder foxes!) and just made my first Void Elf the other day.

It NEVER dawned on me that the spell is two-stage for some reason. Click once, wait, click again and you move to where it is. Fun little fact: I actually liked how Blink worked in WC3 compared to how it works in WoW so this is kinda fun... but not really. Can't go through stuff. Can't go down stuff sat like a fool by a cliff thinking I'll make it go down the cliff and then port... it stopped at the edge of the cliff and wasted the CD.
