Skill Gem Reveal: Blade Flurry

I'm kinda disappointed

Why not reveal the only channeled skill nobody knew the existence

I mean, everybody knew that blade flurry was coming and how it worked

pff Cancer

My Diablo left me! But GGG, you must focus now on BROKEN LIFE CHARACTER BASED, tons of players flood from D3, they dont know what is ES or EV, they dont know anything about xp lost when die, you must really focus on life based not-tank characters! I speak on myself experience, have Bino Crit Reave life based char this league, and T2 bosses for me is fucking wall, srsly, FIX LIFE BASED MECHANIC, its your prior now, you know this GGG?! Energy Shield / IC build are very UNFRIENDLY for new players (I mean still Diablo 3 flood)....


I dont want to be forced playing NON LIFE BASED BUILDS!

sorry for my english, isnt my native language.

+1

And old melee gems now official dead! Rip melee.

ooooh! varunastra, bleed and poison... seems quite nice though. hope the aoe doesn't get to great, since it seems melee and half the screen away is not melee.

the name is kinda cringy though. blade flurry... blade furry... furry blade... D:

New melee "no melee" skill... :facepalm:

I will definitely give this skill a try
Good work GGG

Interesting interesting .....

Maybe give it 0.5% Block Chance per 1% Quality and we have our Max Block Incinerate back.

If the Channeling Speed is based of Attack Speed you can ramp up pretty fast with a 2.0 APS Foil. Ele Version as Inquisitor maybe (or with Cospris) seems a possible solid Option. Or Shadow as Crit Version ... we have to see how we can scale it to be sure.

One of the three new Skills will be very strong for sure (like EQ when it was released) but im not sure if this is the best Option for the "Speed Kill Meta" ... but for the "average Joe" this could be true.

Im personally looking forward to try this one ... the Fire Beam was not so interesting for me (others may have different Opinions ofc)

yeahh but what are the gem tags? does it have aoe and melee?

Aha...

So this is the new improved physical version of Lightning Tendrils now?
- better scaling
- integrated faster casting/attacks on skill gem for free
- scales of weapon base attack speed
- has stages with a free more damage multiplier



So RIP Lightning Tendrils i guess? First Scorching Ray (while beeing a little different, but clearly superior in any way or form) to make Incinerate completly obsolete and now this to basically "remove" Lightning Tendrils from the game?


I am not a fan of the direction skill design is going if i am honest. So far new released skills mostly replaced older skill gems and removed all there purpose of beeing in the game in terms of power level.
Bladeflurry doesn't even offer a new playstyle at all compared to Lightning Tendrils - it is the exact same playstyle with other graphics and better scaling.

My question is: Why not simply rework/buff Lightning Tendrils to the point where Bladeflurry is intended to be - there is no need for 2 skills which work exactly the same, one viable one is enough.



Skill design in PoE is a huge letdown recently for me - all new main damage skills released are simply better versions of older skills - nothing mechanical new which could offer a different playstyle.



Hopefully the next batch of skills released will be a little bit more creative and game defining.
GGG sry, but i think you can do much better - this skill in particular almost feels like scam to me.
