Game Mechanics Ability Tree Idea - Reverse Teleport

So the the name speaks for itself your teleporting backwards! now as for how the reverse teleport is activated it could be by pressing shift+CTRL+R+R+R or something else just an idea anyways.

when it gets to classes I only really know about mage / shaman so for their movement mechanics mages and other classes I would assume just teleport forwards, but instead it w1ill teleport them backward behind mobs and such, and for shamans it would push them away from their totem. I feel like it would be a Light Bender Archetype since it involves teleporting. anyways that's it!

UPDATE: An idea by lemonalade to have the range of the teleport reduced by 50% as teleporting backwards should have a reduced range since its main idea of it is to teleport behind mobs, as for mage players using Blink, when teleporting backwards Blink will not activate. Teleporting you only once.

 

OR JUST MAKE RECALL A THING WITH RIFTWALKER LIKE IVE SAID ALL ALONG

 

I don't know if backwards teleport by itself would be great, but some sort of strafing/directional teleport sounds interesting. Maybe a major ID or a Riftwalker upgrade can allow you to teleport in the direction you're moving with your WASD keys instead of where you're looking. And ofc backwards could be one of the directions you teleport

 

This sounds potentially really overpowered but also super fun
I think the range of teleport would have to be reduced by a significant amount so it's not abusable, at least like 50% (which is still like 8 blocks unless you're using Blink so maybe more)

 

I like the idea of decreased range of the teleport Ill add that to the post

I think being able to teleport in the way your key is pressed would not be a very viable option as many players are constantly pressing A and D while also using W or S and this would mess up the direction players want to teleport, and honestly turning your hand a little bit to either the right or left to teleport that way is not too difficult but a full 180 to teleport backwards takes a little bit of time. if you know what I mean...

 

Reverse Ring.
Major ID: movement spells (or just teleport) travel in the opposite direction.

I don't think the WASD implementation will be easy. Current teleport is based on where the player is facing. I imagine they would have to implement a new system for it.

 

Forward Escape

 

Isn't holding down two extra keys together with the teleport spell infinitely harder than just, you know, turning around?
Besides, ctrl can only really activate sprinting, and unless you're moving all the time Wynncraft doesn't really have a way to detect you pressing down the sprint key otherwise

 

Add it to Quetzalcoatl maybe?
