I think it sounds awful. An Invasion rehash with watered-down optional challenges that don't encourage a playstyle that players naturally seek out. Comapred to Rampage, which supports the playstyle that people seek out regardless, Beyond seems like it will usually just be ignored. You'll never have to fight the portal mobs against your will, you'll never be surprised by their arrival, and you have to play in an awkward way in order for it to trigger in the first place.

I like beyond way more than rampage. Rampage is not at a ll consistent with how I play, so any perks would be largely ignored. Beyond has extra risk for extra reward and if they tune the loot correctly then it'll be great fun. I'm guessing mob density isn't packed enough to trigger bosses all over the place... So hopefully it won't get stale.

Looks like Viper Strike got changed a fair bit:
"Viper Strike now has a 50% chance to deal 240% of the attack's damage as chaos damage over eight seconds. The effect duration won't be refreshed by new attacks, but there is no limit to how many Viper Strike debuffs an enemy can have on them."
That could be pretty interesting to build on.

The first couple iterations of invasion were pretty terribad, especially compared to onslaught/nemesis. There's a reason most strats for bosses were named "nope" strats and they were nerfed 3/4 times. Hence I'll reserve judgement till we actually get the goods.

What are you thinking? Lets post and compare I am honestly thinking about doing some kind of Viper Strike tank after seeing how it scales as you level. + the 2 new damage aura things will work with it also.
Im going to work on it tonight
