What it does Spinning blades slice all beside you for 176 plus 113% of your weapon's 3 times a second and fly off at monsters for 110.

These are base learned-level effects, not final character-sheet damage. Account for equipment bonuses, synergies, modifiers and enemy resistances.

Effects by level

Evolution requirements

• Evolution An evolution: it comes from a chest, never from a level-up card. Evolved from B Blade Fury Catalyst V Vitality From character level 30

Synergies and practical checks

• Each cast spins it a little longer than its recharge, so it stays up. Its spin cuts every monster beside you, and Venom poisons those cuts.
• Unlike Diablo II’s, it takes Blade Fury’s share of your weapon’s Attack Damage, as its evolution. Its thrown blades pass through three, and Venom doesn’t poison them.

Skill modifiers

• Storm — The spinning blades reach twice as far, but cut for 45% less damage.
• Burst — It lasts 7 seconds. As it ends or is cast again, 24 blades fly out in a ring, each for 120% of a thrown blade.
• Hunt — Its thrown blades fly at the toughest monster near you and deal 20% more damage.
