If you were using the SB for Meleeing mobs, you were doing it wrong.

No.

I lol'd.

Either that's sarcasm, or a whole lot of...well, I don't want to be rude. As for the OP, he has a valid complaint. Twenty mana really is too high of a cost for using Spirit Blade, considering it's limitations and (massively) reduced damage. In order to make decent use of SB, Stone Fist and Restorative Veil are mandatory, and Restorative Veil doesn't even work consistently.
I don't see a problem with Spirit Blade's mana cost. I've been switching it out at level 16 for a while anyway and the cooldown reduction from staff attacks makes damage vs. multiple targets and barrier upkeep through other abilities as easy as ever. You just can't use Spirit Blade carelessly anymore. Is that the issue?
This nerf is amazing.
I think it needs to be nerfed more... Like fade cloak only 300% weapon damage.

Well, it was neither sarcastic nor "a whole lot of..." whatever!
I honestly never feel the need to use the SB as a Melee attack, unless I'm 1v1 against a pot.
No (Sten voice.)

Maybe that would be true if they altered the power tree and replaced Fade Step, Veilstrike, Stone Fist, Pull of the Abyss... with mediocre spells.

Seems to me like the mana cost is a bigger issue for lower level AW than higher level. Although in reality this nerf is a lot like reducing Duration in Tactical Cloak. It was more of a nice bonus rather than why something like GI was extremely powerful.
Yeah, wish Isabella's bolt was less mana, too,
though I guess it just forces us to use other things
Wish they could make it a toggle skill instead, to switch the autoattacks
For example:
when sword first pressed AW uses the sword as autoattack (for on the mouse), press sword again, autoattack goes back to the staff auto
and when bolt is first pressed Isabella uses crossbow as autoattack (for on the mouse), press bolt again to go back to daggers auto
And the active skills are uneffected and use whatever weapon they need to, like they do now
Maybe remove the damage increase with the ability as well as the mana costs,
to make them like 'real' weapons,
so you be able to use sword as autoattack or crossbow as autoattack if you wanted (like real weapons),
I guess was my point
Course that idea's probably silly and/or crazy, I guess,
and doesn't solve the spamming abuse problem,
so no, haha
I don't believe you're going to find much support here.
Don't worry. They'll Nerf Ele soon too.
Better get those WP points now
