Aha...

So this is the new improved physical version of Lightning Tendrils now?

No, this isn't a spell.

Looks like Frost Blades with melee splash, no projectiles, auto aim and stage scaling, which is different enough from existing skills when you put it all together.

I really don't know. First thing I would compare it to is reave. As it is ranged, if it is has a melee tag it could be safer and stronger using Lion's roar.

Looks pretty slow...

So basically, you took lightning tendrils, gave it an etheral knives coloring skin, expanded it's radius and gave it a slight extra atk speed buff through channeling instead of making it do rapid 4 hits. Grats. Nice creativity. Now nerv BV and make this the next meta. Don't forget to stack poison and bleeds guys since it does multiple hits. That's the new meta as well.

You wanna go elementalist and stack the atk spd with a foil.

IMO last two skills display creativity depletion of some kind.

This speculation hysteria is familiar. Just recently, people tried to trample EQ and melee totems before they were out via extensive analysis.

What this game desperately needs are new or improved melee skills which feels like melee skills! You know slashing or stabbing with weapons while moving through the horde of enemies.

Which is just an improved whirling blades, if we're to apply similar logic.

And again no skill for two handed sword...

actually its very much like lightning tendrils.
It has the same animation:

Its visuals are almost the same, just recolor to green with added fluff and bonus aoe explosion.
Im guessing the range will be similar.
It's not a spell, like you said, but no one said it is, its a melee skill that looks like a spell, behave like a spell, but instead of using spell damage it will use melee damage and attack speed and not cast speed. That not making it so much different
