I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but just want to share this "news" that BM's morai skill blade tornado ignore defense level and attack level. Its damage is only affected by resistance. Hence it can 1 shot psys in white voodoo after tangling mire.

Just a side note, in China I heard that the new sword skill Flash will deal 150% base physical damage + 300% weapon damage + additional 200% base physical damage if % HP is lower, and has 2x crit rate to deal 1.5x damage.

So when conditions are met, BM's Flash becomes 350% base physical attack +300% weapon attack has 2x critical hit chance to deal 1.5x damage. With G16 nirvana dual sword +12 my attack will be 16000-20000, and with r9 axe it's about 16000-24000. Average them and get average for sword is 18000, axe 20000.

So if it crits (350% x 18000 + 300% * 2500)*1.5 = 105750 damage. More than axe skill zerk crit (which is about 20000*4 = 80000)

Edit: Suppose barb has 40k HP, then demon Armageddon will do (20000*4 + 5000)*1.1 = 93500 without zerk/crit. So if BM somehow manages to get a God of Frenzy sword then with HF it'll deal close to a zerk crit arma from a 40k hp barb. interesting. ;)

    Blade Tornado ignoring def reducing abilities has been brought up before in both the BM forums and the barb forums. It ignores invoke. It also ignores plume shell, making it great against clerics who plan to plume and HP away since you can move while in BT. One thing I always bring up for BT is in PvE it doesn't generate aggro so you can't use it for a pull and you use it while zhenning you won't keep aggro off the squishies and won't be able to stun if they do grab aggro.

    I'll find some old threads about BT later, along with a list of other uses.

    I knew Flash was getting a makeover but haven't seen the numbers calced out for it yet. Nice :D

    Dam didn't know it ignores invoke. It's too OP b:dirty. More on Flash, it'll cost only 1 spark and cooldown reduced to 2 minutes instead of 15 minutes BS as of now.
