Context
DiEoxidE discusses the long-standing bug with the Twisting Blades skill in Diablo 4 that has recently been confirmed by the community. The bug allowed the skill to stack poison damage to an extreme extent, causing unbalanced gameplay. DiEoxidE explains the two bugs associated with the Blade Dancer aspect of Twisting Blades and how they affected the skill’s damage output. He also shares his opinion on the future of the skill and the potential for new variations and builds in Season 3.
Bug Details
DiEoxidE explains that the first bug with the Blade Dancer aspect of Twisting Blades caused it to hit more than two times, resulting in unintended damage output. This bug seemed insignificant at first due to the low damage of Blade Dancer, but it became problematic when combined with the second bug. The second bug caused Blade Dancer with poison imbument to receive the damage values of the original Twisting Blades skill, leading to a significant increase in damage output. This bug allowed for a 300% damage multiplier for poison imbument, creating unbalanced gameplay.
Impact on Twisting Blades
Despite the bug fix, DiEoxidE believes that Twisting Blades will not die in Season 3. He explains that Twisting Blades is still a powerful skill even without the excessive poison stacking. It remains the fastest skill to level up and is not heavily reliant on poison for most content in the game. However, DiEoxidE predicts that the bug fix will lead to the discovery of new variations and builds for Twisting Blades, offering players more diversity in their gameplay.
Future of Twisting Blades in Season 3
DiEoxidE mentions that Twisting Blades received a slight buff in Season 3, ensuring that it always does the full amount of damage from the returning blades. He expresses excitement about the potential for range Rogues in Season 3 and plans to release a video discussing the topic soon. Overall, DiEoxidE emphasizes the importance of bug fixes for achieving balance in the game and enabling the development of different viable builds.
