I had a strange dream involving Wilson's Torch Toss ability

[Harrowick]

I had one of those realistic feeling game dreams where Wilson's Torch Toss received affinity skills, and each skill gave the torch either a shadow flame or a lunar flame (cosmetically) that, depending on the affinity, made it so shadow creatures or gestalts would occasionally attack hostile creatures in the torch's radius. 

I thought this was pretty awesome as it synergized with both the torch longevity and torch radius skill branches, allowing for a longer lasting, larger radius in which the affinity creatures could spawn!

 

I think if this were a thing, it would have to be limited to either affect a single torch or make it so the affinity creature spawn-rate doesn't stack 

 

that's all, I just wanted to share a silly dream I had. Take care everyone!

Affinities are the single worst part of DST, Without being able to actually unlock them.. players are locked out of their characters most interesting abilities.

If they do Anything at all to Wilson, I would prefer it that Torch Toss could get an actual Non-Affinity locked upgrade that left a Klaus Red Gem Deer Crater where it is thrown, this will not damage structures, but it will AoE damage mobs caught in the crater & slow their movement speed down.

Very similar to Wolfgang’s dumbells I guess.

Sueño con el día que Wilson tenga su rework en el árbol de habilidades. Un árbol que, al menos, mejore el uso de la antorcha. Un rango de 5 está bien, pero incluir en éste el fuego endotérmico y los que dices, una opción de Shadow y otra lunar.

También, hacer la antorcha recargable, con algo simple como los pine cone (insumo del combustible de antorcha). Algo increíble sería que la antorcha equipada te brindará ventajas, como la velocidad de movimiento (en honor a la antorcha olimpica) y que puedas encender otras antorchas, firepits o campfires.

No se trata de hacer a Wilson O.P., sino de darle un uso más iconónico a su antorcha (sin mencionar sus habilidades de alquimia y de barba).
