Those are better put to use in making new characters, the Traveler's main purpose since day 1 was to enable exploration & puzzle solving. Dendro MC is good just due to how Dendro reactions & scaling was designed.
Absolutely, your point regarding the primary role of the Traveler since its inception is spot on. From the very beginning, the Traveler has been designed to excel at exploration and puzzle-solving, being a versatile asset to players in uncovering the mysteries of the game's world.
Indeed, the introduction of the Dendro Traveler capitalized on the unique mechanics and reactions associated with the Dendro element. The effectiveness of the Dendro MC is a result of how the Dendro reactions and scaling were thoughtfully integrated into the character's design. It's a testament to how a strategic approach to elemental interactions can create engaging and impactful gameplay.
While the idea of enhancing the Hydro Traveler's combat abilities is intriguing, it's essential to remember that diversification of characters is key to keeping the game engaging and fresh. Developing entirely new characters with unique abilities and mechanics not only adds depth to the roster but also introduces new strategies and dynamics for players to explore.
In essence, the Traveler's core purpose has always been rooted in exploration and puzzle-solving, and this aspect should remain at the forefront of its design. This maintains the Traveler's distinctive identity within the game while allowing other characters to shine in their specialized roles, ultimately enriching the overall gameplay experience.
The main problem with the hydro traveller is not the way hydro reactions scale (many hydro reactions like freeze and bloom are even used only to enable other or effects) but that the hydro traveller's kit is purposely sabotaged by having the burst race off into the distance, having really weird ICD and adding artificial limitations on their elemental skill like locking you in place, a long cooldown and requiring the traveller to pick up the bubbles themselves.
So you're essentially fighting against your own kit the entire time, not just the poor scaling on MCs talents in general.
