I am crushed. I wanted a whirlwind and I got a cyclone. This ability needs the movement speed reduction removed, and to be channeled and cost mana per sec. Why would you EVER make it like this? To be different? If it ain't broke don't fix it. I would really really like to see this skill become a true whirlwind. Not a GGG version. Melee need help here, and I think a real whirlwind ability can do it. Especially for the physical melee.

Also for the love of GOD, please fix desync.


I still love this game. But less than I would if you had given us whirlwind.

You are the most annoying supporter I have heard yet. You actually make me cringe when you type...that's hard to do.

Anyways, you can go back to Diablo III or Call of Duty if you want a mainstream "follow the formula" approach. GGG will do things their way. They do not want to copy paste abilities, they are pushing things further and further and releasing innovative things rather than remodeling and repainting things just to make a quick buck.

They have an amazing game thus far and it had little to do with the wishes of their players and almost everything to do with what they envisioned.

"Cyclone moves to where you clicked, at your move speed. This means you'll go further for one skill use (and thus mana cost payment) if you click further - but there's more chance that something goes bad along the way and you can't interrupt it until you finish."

^ This actually adds something you might be afraid of..skill. That's right, you must now think when and where to cast your Cyclone. Believe you me , a lot of others know why you are mad; let's just say it has something to do with Craniom, being dropped, and your mother.
You will not get a game for children. IF you want one? You can play the games I stated above.

Great job on Cyclone thus far. Increased multiplier for melee damage sounds like something that will make physical dmg viable. Just have to get the numbers right.

Maybe add something like 5% total damage reduction while using? This MIGHT make it viable in HC. otherwise I don't see anyone using it >_<

I think you have no clue on what open beta feedback is. He gave feedback and you gave a personal attack. If you don't like what he says rent a pair and ignore it.
Cyclone is a good ideal, but terrible as is . Mana cost way to high and damage way to low.

What level are you and what equipment/support gems are you using? I would like to feel this way :(

My level 69 duelist who recently aquired a free respec used his whole tree to spec directly for this and using cyclone has crippled my character to the point where even the docks are giving me trouble. Using a map at this point would just be wasting that map.

Their are small issues with the damage effectiveness and minimum activation range the devs will no doubt address with next weeks patch.... But my biggest problem is that my character isn't where my screen is telling me he is. I cyclone towards a group of enemies and some of them get hit while others do not; it feels like my character is actually a "ghost or shadow" of the character actually on my screen who is cycloning somewhere I cannot see.

Cyclone NEEDS a big multi-pronged buff to come even close to the effectiveness of other melee skills.

It needs a decent effective % boost.
It needs a decent AOE and AOE scaling boost.
Its desync issues need to be resolved.
It needs to have more control (i.e. halve the minimum cyclone distance)

Otherwise this skill becomes a novelty skill that only people with the most insane top of the line gear could work with.

100% agree with you not many ppl c this, but those that play most of there time with end game chars.
seems like alot of the post are from ppl that arent even lvl 70 yet, so the some of the info in here is very wrong, and misleading ppl to believe this skill is fine atm. only build i hear cyclone working effectively atm is facebreakers only mainly bec they didnt have any previous AOE skills to compare it with.
