Twisting Path

birdik

The ability lasts for 10 seconds again, but the damage is not restored:

8.1.0:

Path of Darkness:
This ability and its morphs now last 20 seconds, up from 10.
These abilities now tick once every 2 seconds, instead of once per second. They now apply their effects instantly, rather than after a delay.
Twisting Path (morph): Reduced the damage per tick of this morph by approximately 29%.
Refreshing Path (morph): Reduced the healing per tick by approximately 3%.

8.1.2:

Path of Darkness: Returned the duration and tick rate of this ability and its morphs to 10 seconds and 1 second, rather than 20 seconds and 2 seconds.
Twisting Path (morph): Reduced the cost to 2700, down from 3510.

So if you look at the table you will see in what a sad position the ability is in on PTS

They honestly have no idea what they are doing when it comes to balancing skills. The damage of any given DoT is all over the place.

Winter's revenge got wrecked too.

To help your argument I will be quoting myself in a TLDR:

Standard to compare to is 3150 damage from Veiled Strike. At 14% dps, that should be 441 damage per second.

Twisting path was such a cool and unique skill too. I'm really bummed. It was also I nice source of expedition since I don't run channelled acceleration. Damn.

And Winter's Revenge is still at least 10% weaker than it should be.

Ruining twisted path was not necessary in my opinion.
And it's a unique class skill. It got some nerfs in the past so it should not be nerfed again.
