Cyclone no longer physical. What is it now, an emotional skill? Paranormal? A climate skill?

Remember, remember!

The main Key word for temp league should be pinned and that is: EXPERIMENTAL, so now prepare your snacks and be ready to work for free developing poe2 HOHO!

We all know GGG hates cyclone, but why do they hate it so much? Did a cyclone run over their dog, or break the office coffee machine?

I don't understand why you think cyclone got nerfed. Almost all skills melee got their flat physical damage removed because all weapons deal more physical damage, roughly 15%, because quality gives "more" damage now.

Also removal of totems. Both active totems would give 1.416 multiplier on damage. 1.65 if heavily invested. Cyclone scaling changed from 59% to 111%. That means now without any totems cyclone deals 32% more damage, or 14% more damage while comparing to somebody with totems and invested points into totems.

The better the weapon the better the results also. Because same weapon will deal more damage then in previous leagues because of quality change.

And now we don't have to put totems to get full power. All of the time.
