Blade vortex is BROKEN *video pve added (boss molestation)*

"

Just a heads up, Vortex Blade lvl 13 Just killed dom in 2 seconds with tt 16.2k (16.2 x50 = 810k dps)

calculated 1360k per second at lvl 20

Aka approx (27.2k TT x50)

(Just tested in sarn arena, I killed a 9k ES immortal in under 1 second)

Missing 5 jewel slots, no curses, / other mechanic's.

Couple sights on why blade vortex is extremely powerfull, it has mid range aoe, it has duration which follows you all the time unlike firestorm where you have to constantly recast in order to follow the enemy. Up to 50 blades per second circling around you and they ALL can crit, so i can only imagine someone with 500% multiplier and very good gear that such mechanics are too powerfull. Pair that with echo and fc and it's a recipe for a broken build, to me it looks pretty similar to the Degen potential of my old rf build which was killing 10k hp under 1.5 seconds, looking at the numbers on blade vortex;

58–87 lvl 21 gem blade vortex, physical is unmitigated unlike resistances.

177–265 lvl 21 firestorm, fire damage is mitigated by resistances so the x-y on storm gem is unnacurate, i actually think it comes pretty close to blade vortex unmitigated damage numbers.

So if i compare blade vortex to firestorm, blade vortex should be doing as much damage if not lower a bit per hit but blade vortex has MUCH more active hit probabilities than firestorm has and both can crit so i can only conclude on blade vortex achieving wayyy too high damage potential. Also blade vortex moves with you, with 21/20 duration gem it lasts for a good time so you can flicker multistrike on the enemy or even follow him with whirling blades or flame dash. Firestorm does not permit me to move along with my storm and i have way less active hit chances, i need to stand still and cast stack 3-4 storms to have more than 30 hit per seconds.


On an aproximation, i think blade vortex 21 with empower and conc can certainly get around 1.5-2.5 ~ min max damage, my storm has 4.2-5.2 min max, and both crits.

So imagine 1.5 per hit up to 50 hits per second on 500% multiplier.

all is in the title.

1 shot dominus with level 13 gem and other bosses.

in PVP,

1 shot skill even with level 13 gem. Added with poison and it s just impossible to deal as a 2h melee. Thing deal more damage than a cyclone and they don t even have to click one button.


There are allready level 80 toon one shotting my 9k life marauder just running to me. Even while leaping you still get hit. The AOE is enormous

I don t really understand why cyclone was nerfed if it to create a crit-spell cyclone like skill 3 time more powerful.



Haha
