The new Flow: Pinwheel Fury is probably a controversial topic among kunos. At first I hated losing Flow: Wrath but the new skill has been growing on me. The most recent change to it puzzles me however. The two changes I take issue with are:
1) Change to flowing out of Sah Spin Spree. Now both LMB and RMB lead to the same skill (Flow: Indignation), where as before RMB lead to Flow: Indignation and LMB lead to Flow: Pinwheel Fury. Now not speaking about whether or not spin spree -> pinwheel was good or not, having the freedom to choose between these two skills was somewhat crucial to both cooldown management and versatility in combat. I see no good reason to remove this freedom.
2) The 20% movement/attack/cast slow from Danse Macabre being moved to Flow: Pinwheel Fury. I'm not sure how to feel about it. I don't hate pinwheel having this debuff. What I do hate, is that Danse Macabre is now essentially just another movement utility skill. It has no damage to speak of, no CC in PvP, somewhat questionable protection at times, and often erratic / unpredictable movement especially under more FPS intensive conditions or uneven terrain; so Danse barely functions as a movement/utility skill. What exactly is this skill for now? Before it had a strong debuff on it which gave it a definitive purpose in combat, but now its only purpose is something that it is below mediocre at performing.
These kinds of issues are recurring and are probably the most annoying aspect of playing kuno: when this class gets attention, we don't often receive standard buffs in damage or whatever, but our effects are moved around from skill to skill (I can live with this) and worse, our keyboard inputs are changed regularly. I'm tired of having to learn the class again every patch (exaggerating for effect, of course we don't get looked at every patch haha). Can we just get some positive attention which doesn't come with a catch?
What I'd like to see (at a start), is the return of the freedom to choose between the two flows out of spin spree, i.e. revert change no. 1, and as for number 2, a renewed look at Danse Macabre's function in combat, if it is supposed to be damage, give it damage, if it is supposed to be something else, improve it to meet that functionality comfortably.
I do wonder if Danse Macabre is getting gutted because they plan to replace it with another new skill entirely like they did with Wrath. If so, I'll probably hate it at first, but perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.
New flow is still as garbage as it was when it came out. We lost combo damage.
awk kuno is broken u guys are just bad
