Trying to do the new Arcane Rift quest, and suddenly rifts are doing tick damage...

[MESeele]

WHY. I have checked everything. No upgrades, no traits or items would do it, on Sage. Rift is the only skill. What the ♥♥♥♥ is going on. The quest SHOULD have been easy, but now the rifts are doing 38 tick damage the moment they appear, ruining everything.

This might be the first time I feel an update is completely broken. The new quests are easy, SHOULD be easy, but they don't work.

[spiderbane]

Fun fact...I did this mission with the tick damage...doesn't get you the quest achievement :-P

[Lunar Umbra]

This was a pretty horrendous change. I think I know the mechanic reason for the Rift having DOT, even if it does zero damage its for the Rift to apply Elemental stacks passively on enemies in its area. This should have been coded so that DOT does not get enabled until you actually choose an Element.

Truly made it a horrendous experience going in cold thinking I could do that without feedback from other players, wasted an entire run thinking I could do it regardless... single ability ~22k kills, but only ~1,500 of those were instant full health kills from the Rift exploding...

[themazingness]

Yeah, really annoyed to find out that several things that should work make this achievement not work at all. I instantly killed about 15k enemies and nada.

Sometimes these achievements are like trying to read the mind of a math teacher that doesn't really teach you the math like they should.

[Moldredd]

I think for the achievement the change is indeed annoying (As long as you don't buff your damage in any way) but overall, it is a welcomed change for Rift.

This is hilarious! If i didn't know this was going to get fixed, then I would 100% make a novelty record out of this interaction.

I removed all the base damage stuff and I can't get the achievement anyway

And why?
Was it avaible when you tried, since Devs rewinded the latest patch due lots of Bugs, but they brought another Hotfix few Minutes ago.

You might want to restart Steam if you didnt get it.

Yeah, I thought that they fixed the buggy and unintended stuff. This achievement should be easier and less flinicky now.

Attack speed, Multistrike, Force with Fire Rift... this is not lava, it's the surface of the Sun.

It's 2024, turn on dark mode. You'll blind yourself!

So what's the trick/cheese/cheat to get this stupid thing over and done with? Reducing the damage as much as possible and run around like a headless chicken avoiding touching the rifts for 20 minutes until the end of the run when the game finally spawned enough enemies? It seems ridiculous to me but maybe I just don't see what they want to force us to do here.

Just to do things:
Pick following Traits:
Blast - Blast - Bloat - Blast - Blast -
Bloat - Blast - Blast - Occurence - Bloat
pick Upgrade Wandering Rifts at Tier III
Done!

Nothing complicated. Got it in second attempt.

When you start a run try to level up as fast as possible. I prefer The bridge map. As soon as you are 10 minutes in try to check how much arcane rift damage does and once you get around 5 - 6 k with crits turn off your auto attack.

Here is the gear.

and stats for arcane rift.

Thank you both. I got it in one try with your guidance even though I used a similar approach in my earlier attempts to no avail. BUT I realized my confusion was because of the poor wording, I read the description quite literally "Kill 5 000 enemies at full life with a single hit of Arcane Rift.".
In the sense that I needed to kill 5000 enemies with just 1 rift explosion. lol
Oh well, back to 100% again, thanks. :D

I reached 322 million burn damage with Arcane Rift. I did not encounter the ghost wall until ~1:30 remaining and spent most of the mid to late stage standing still.
