Can we give Wanda a Watch Pouch?

[Y0sH]

I have over 2k hours with Wanda and the most prevalent issue I've had with this character is her inventory. Watch pieces, Ageless Watches, Alarming Clock, 2nd Chance Watch and Backtreck watches eat inventory space. Not to mention the slot that will be inevitably reserved for nightmare fuel. I get this character is supposed to be the "Glass Cannon" and any talk of her seems to just jump to "she's OP she doesn't need changes." but i disagree. I think a small upgrade to her kit would be amazing with a pouch that can ONLY hold watches and the related items even if it's only 4 slots that can stay open on screen much like Wilson's beard storage.

I really hope this becomes true some day. At least vs lunar mobs. Wolfgang was already doing more DPS before his skill tree and now it's not even close.

My fear is that her Skilltree will be so far into the future that we wont see it implemented for a very long time. This just seems like something that could be easily added to her base kit and a Skilltree later can build upon it with maybe more slots and a cooldown reduction for watches inside the pouch etc..

Its her only true downside.

Though tbh inventory problems are kinda unfun i kinda wish they could do some qol to it.

Inventory management is one of her few weaknesses and the reason you wont see people with tons of healing and kitting watches

[gaymime]

i dunno, she is already really powerful in the hands of an at least moderately capable player, having her have 0 downsides on top of being one of the four strongest characters in the game seems like it would just further mess up the meta and tighten the already restrictive power-pipeline that discourages people from playing the characters they like without being harangued for not picking the strong ones, you know?

[Well-met]

a fair trade-off considering her powers

[marshyds]

I think inventory management should be a fundemental weakness of hers

[Sesekriri]

I actually hope they don't, and make her watches even more potent. I think the idea of a character with incredibly powerful abilities but half or 2/3rds inventory size if using those abilities is interesting.

Wolfgang is laughing at the lies about who is the real cannon in the game with a simple shadow sword and dealing 176 damage and 200 health to be able to use any armor with 80% damage reduction. But if Wolfgang wants, he can also use one with 95% protection and no penalty (Marble Suit).

Meanwhile Wanda deals 142 damage while having less than 27 health points. And this 142 is slow damage compared to melee weapons (dps).

Doesn’t giving these characters additional storage space kind of defeat the entire purpose of giving them items to fill their inventory up with anyway?

I don’t like this idea.. with Wigfrid it sort of made sense to have a battle scroll canister (since she also got several new items to eat up inventory slots)

but it would make no sense at all to give Wanda a watch pouch.

Shes intended to be a glass canon, and I really hope Klei adds a few things to her that make this even more so.

My personal idea of a fitting nerf to a so called “Glass Canon” would be to make her lose amounts of her own health while hitting things with the alarming clock (like a reverse version of Wigfrid)

Or how in the old TMNT games on SNES using your “Special Moves” had to consume portions of your health bar.

THATS a Glass Canon… Current Wanda, is Anything But.

And sadly I fear Klei will once again cave towards the most popular forum vote and may even make her skill tree push her out of the glass canon role she’s SUPPOSED to be fulfilling.

But this is all just my opinion and she surely doesn’t need a pouch to hold her watches.

Zero downsides?? She’s literally a glass cannon that’s pretty weak with the planar mechanics yall want wanna Wanda op Wanda op but she’s not anymore she has 17.5 hp while old and planar damage goes through armor you have to stay middle aged/young and then she’s not doing any real damage the whole Wanda op thing died when they released the rifts

[Maxil20]

I’m on the fence of a pouch option being pre rift, but I think post rift it would be an alright upgrade. Even 4 slots would be pretty alright.

"Can we give Wanda a Watch Pouch?"

If this happens, it will only be during Wanda's skill tree. This could happen in September or 18 months from now.

why would you get hit using whip range?

instead of making existing watches stronger, add a bunch of new ones to make her inventory even more clogged.

there're no hard planar enemies yet so that's irrelevant

[Y0sH]

And exactly what i thought would happen every time Wanda's name gets brought up in discussions did happen. The conversation just immediately turns into a "She does x amount of damage, she's OP! She needs MORE downsides." etc... *sigh*

If you want to use that as an excuse or an argument she’s overpowered while doing a lot less damage and be able to take practically then use a tail of 3 cats and then bam everyone is immortal yea fights may take longer but if that’s sooo overpowered then it’s worth it huh?

why do you still think that hp's relevant considering that healing's nearly instant and you don't get 1 shotted or killed through 1 combo

And what do you want? Carrying more than 1 healing watch, teleportion to a wished destination and 2 more clocks for just 1 inventory slot????*sigh*

Wanda only ""needs"" 4 slots in her daily gameplay: 1 healing watch, alarming clock, a tp to base/the spot where you place all the tp clocks to other parts of the map and NF

Other charactera needs more slots for lower perks. If you have problems with inventory management, do you need many healing watches even if you arent fighting or for some reason bring time pieces is your problem not wanda's design

nice try

limited 27 dmg whips is not the same as the alarming clock's infinite 300 dps

You kinda can’t escape it, sadly. I know in my discussions I get picked on for playing Wanda because I don’t play her the “””optimal””” way (In my endgame world, I use brightshade gear and stay as young age because that’s more enjoyable to me personally).

It’s just something that unfortunately happens. People like taking the most optimal use case characters, but playing that optimally kinda kills the fun for me. I mainly play Wanda for her personality and some nice teleports, and she fits that role well from my experience.

I want you to read the post for comprehension and not to just be obtuse to the subject because you don't like it firstly. Secondly, if you did read the post you'd see it says "watches and the related items" meaning this pouch could just hold nightmare fuel/Pure horror or thul frags or the watchmaker's tools or watch pieces leaving the ageless watches out of it. Regardless if you play Endgame Wanda inventory is filled with watch stuff that can be downsized considerably with even a 2-3 slot pouch. 
 

Edit: Also if you aren't playing Wanda to not fight then there are way better options of characters to pick that do her non-fighting perks much better.
