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

If you run only blade vortex without the conversions / hatred and herald of ash it is actually quite underwhelming because of how much the monster armor shreds it's dps (a lot of small hits).

That being said you can bypass that by converting it to elemental and using crit which to me doesn't make sense.

Why make a skill that hits so much per second being able to crit???
At least they should have put it at 4% base crit, dunno why it has 6% ._.

I think what makes it OP is the ability to stack it,you can move with it plus it surrounds you.Maybe some subtle mechanics could elimate it's strengths.

Suggestions:
The more blades you have out the shorter the duration gets.A built in point blank (with damage adjusted to this).Mana cost goes up expotentially the more blades you have out.It drains mana.

It just feels like GGG forced meta chage by adding OPieOP spells.

Almost everyone higher on lader is min/maxing meaning they will all play these spells or some variations of it.

Hmm, Im not sold on it. Ill wait to see how it does in maps.

A caster skill that needs you to be in the face of the enemies needs to have very high damage, otherwise it will be useless.

EDIT: oh boy, another mathil RIPfest video as evidence of something being OP (and in normal of all places, at least the other was on atziri).

HA! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR WISHING NERF TO INCINERATE, FOOLS!!!

Now feel the Wrath of the nerf- and OP-Force combined!

May GGG have mercy on your souls characters.

Screw blade vortex! Give me back my split arrow.

As always the balance team live to nerf, so it makes sense to put broken skills in the game and then leave them there just long enough for you to spend a load of time and gear on it than they get maximum tears with the nerf.

I would like to add that it break traps on floor and trap thrown at you lol.

I tried it out for a lil and was thinking... this is damn strong for level 1 and no supports

LOL

One thing I reckon is it has to be a good boss killer because nerfing it down to the point it isn't will mean it ends up being weak against even trash mobs.To me it is a small but high damage AoE spell.I don't think having a large AoE suits it.In fact I'd say its the AoE potential that will make it difficult to balance.If its AoE is too small to start with it won't even hit but also if the AoE increase is too small it will become negligible.

They can't not know how silly this skill is with its current numbers.

Shut up and enjoy it, I say.

Pretty much.

I fully expect it to be nerfed into the ground. Going to try and get my Cyclone CoC BladeVortex up and running before they nerf it, but not sure if I'll make it in time.
