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

They will probably take the entire 3 months of league to evaluate first before doing something about it, then they might buff it instead of nerf, this is how their balance team works.

How does this make through QA? How does this balance team continue to miss things like this?

So many examples it just shows how they have absolutely no clue in what they're doing most of the time when it comes to balance, they don't listen to players who play and understand their game 100x more than they do, they just do or not do things like blindly.

And... does this work with... CoC? ;)

Yes.

Ah, I_NO did not choose this skill while leveling and now he is mad.

Anyway a few things about this skill:
1. The video shows the definition of class canon. The guy dies a lot.
2. Leveling this item is indeed fast, but I dont know about the end game. Close combat with spell gear isn't generally a good idea.
3. It's mechanics are not that nice for self casting. Its like cyclone but now you have to cast and move seperatelly.

But I am not complaining. I enjoy the skill massively. Just don't know about the endgame in terms of survivability and DPS. So before we all ask GGG to nerf the skill I would like to wait a few days and see what the endgame players report about the skill.

I'm a She mind you why would I be mad? I level 70-80 in a day or two I'm fucking mad because GGG BREAKS OP skills then REINTRODUCES another ''OP'' skill that's not balance that's fucking terrible design / decisions.

If I wanted too I can go prototype the blade vortex thing on my standard toons seeing how I have every single god dam thing in the game in that league but I'd already know it would be broken as fuck so it would be a waste of time.

Not even that smooth to play self cast I can say, playing self cast BV. Also you get absolutely munched by thorns, pretty sure you won't see a lot of people run this in HC.

Overall much fuss for nothing.

Sorry, but using a Mathil video to illustrate something being OP is a bit silly.

Why not link his Shockwave Totem Atziri kill and have a moan about that?

In all seriousness though, the skill is overtuned - but it IS fun, and thats quite nice for the start of a new league. I am sure it will get scaled back, so may as well enjoy it while it lasts.

As for PVP? I'm finding it hard to give a shit, but I am biased because I don't play PVP.

I'll go against the grain - Seems like a bad version of SRS as in you gotta be close which is dangerous. But similar DPS and ramping up to max blades or spirits as the case may be.

Ive tried this spell on HC. Firestorm is more reliable in boss fights and usualy deliver more dmg, since u can just stay and cast it from afar. Against white shit BW is good, but, evereting its good against white shit, exept cold and chaos spells, lol.
As for video - vell if u die 5 time per instance it dosent matter how much dmg u have.

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

Cyclone was nerfed cause it got somewhat popular, well popular for a melee skill, nothing to do game balance.

Balance is an illusion exile, my advice is don't worry about balance, just play the most broken skill you can find.
