So, I remember hearing something about how the Rod of Discord was nerfed specifically so it wouldn't allow players to cheese the new final boss.
... that was back when it was planned to be the actual moon.
So, now we have Moon Lord. Can we try changing the Rod of Discord back into something worth farming for 2 weeks straight to obtain?
Here's my idea. How about trading out Chaos State for "Chaos Overload"?
It'll work like this: Instead of going into "Chaos State", you'll enter a debuff called "Chaos Buildup" mode which lasts for 10 seconds. Every time you use the Rod of Discord during the Chaos Buildup state, a "mark of chaos" is added and the timer is reset. When you first enter Chaos Buildup, you have no marks against you.
If you surpass a certain threshold of "Chaos Buildup" (aka, obtain 5 "Chaos Marks"), you take damage equal to 20% of your HP, you lose ALL your mana, and you trigger "Chaos Overload".
EDIT: Because Minions can make Rod of Discord spam very cheesy, perhaps the Chaos Overload requires less "marks" to achieve Overload based on how many minions you have on the field.
Chaos Overload is a debuff that lasts for 7 seconds and prevents you from receiving any HP or Mana recovery from ANY sources. You also cannot use the Rod of Discord in the meantime.
... why, you ask? This.
