Did I ruin my character? Inner Ways question.

Questions

Hey everyone, I need some clarification about Inner Ways and whether my current setup is a long-term problem.

I’m running a DPS Umbrella + Fan build at level 60. My current Inner Ways are shown in the screenshot, but in short:

Morale Chant – lvl 3
Blossom Barrage – lvl 2 (bad RNG so far)
Envigorated Warrior – lvl 4
Fivefold Bleed – lvl 4

Everything works fine for my current build in practice, but I’ve started worrying after checking what other people are using.

From what I understand, the typical Inner Ways layout for DPS builds is usually:

  1. Gold neutral weapon (like Horse – I have this)
  2. Gold weapon-specific (Blossom Barrage – I have this)
  3. At least one purple weapon-specific (I don’t have a leveled one)
  4. Last slot being either another neutral or another purple weapon-specific

Basically, most builds seem to include at least one purple weapon-specific Inner Way, and that’s what I’m missing.

My issue:
When I started, I didn’t fully understand the system and used up all the 500 Tips Inner Ways chests, which seem to be one of the main sources for purple weapon-specific Inner Ways. I think I recycled most of those purples without realizing their future value.

Right now, the best I have is 15/20 for the second breakthrough on a weapon-specific purple, but nothing properly leveled.

If I stick to Fan/Umbrella, my current setup is playable. But I’m worried about switching to other weapons later once they release on global. Without a leveled purple weapon-specific Inner Way, I might fall behind in DPS compared to what other builds expect.

Did I actually ruin my character long-term?
