Hey, I'm playing DA:I with a DW Artificer, with a build focused (or suppose to focus) on spamming abilities. I have upgraded Spinning Blades, I only now got to the point where I get Opportunity Knocks. In my previous playthrough I remember playing with Varric and pretty much spamming non stop Leaping Shot, killing dragons extremely fast. Now, Opportunity knocks has no visible effect on Spinning Blades cooldown, basically screwing my build idea up. Was the passive nerfed in patch 6? Or should I get another passive to do the trick?

 

FYI, I have 53% crit chance as of right now.

Sorry but I havent had an issue with the passive. But i wont doubt that you are. before i respec varric, his sneak attack passive had 100% cc to flank. now its 55%. id say reload and respec till it works.

It only works when your party crits.  Your own crit does not matter.  

 

 

 

When an ally Critically Hits, you take advantage of their success faster with reduced cooldown times.

Nope, it's always counted your own crits as well. Still does for me even with the latest patch.

I doubt it. In previous playthrough I had Varric able to constantly spam Leaping Shot, you see most of the time when the attack hits the cooldown just resets. If it is a bug I'm experiencing (Qunari DW Rogue) I hope when I return home in a week it will be fine after restartig the game.

I think the cooldown timer for Spinning Blades doesn't start until the move is fully executed. Since all the crits from Spinning Blades happen before the move is over, Opportunity Knocks can't apply them to Spinning Blades' own cooldown.

I'm sorry, but how can anyone who's ever used an Artificer before possibly think this statement is true?

So, I have to use throwing blades or something to actually get the benefits? Like TB - SB - TB - SB and so forth? Bah, I have to wait another 2 skill points...

Well I don't really remember much, but a few days ago I was trying out the DW artificer and I believe spinning blades was working normally.

Then again it could have been due to my party. It could be that spinning blades' cd doesn't start until the animation is finished.

Wrong, it only works when your allies crit.

And yet it's still working for me on Leaping Shot and Elemental Mines.

So it has been nerfed. FOR GOD SAKES WHY? It's a single player game, it's not like you need to balance it for professional competitive play, and it is not nearly as broken as infinite Thousand Cuts or Knight Enchanters, or 2H Templars one shoting demons and humanoid enemies...

 

Well, the next step probably will be bring Varric along with my DW rogue and still be able to spam abilities.

Test it with Elemental Mines. For me Opportunity Knocks has been working as it always did.
