is it a bug that weapon throw with mightiest is now an ultimate and no longer a weapon mastery skill but somehow still has fury cost with third blade equipped but doesn’t benefit from weapon mastery tag related anymore
Tons of conversions with The Third Blade are not working. Iron Maelstrom being converted to a WM Skill does not change to a Core Skill, which should be the entire point of that. Skills should gain Tags and not lose them and The Third Blade Core Skill Tag should supercede all other tags turning it into a spammable attack with a Resource Cost.
With The Mightiest, Third Blade should use Fury instead of a CD and the Fury Cost should be akin to Power Kick. This provides an uninentional benefit to the Skill scaling well with things like Red Ring, Lucions, and Nomads. This also simulates the 6 second CD due to the inherently high Resource Cost.
In the The Third Blade’s affix text it states it adds a fury cost and 100% cooldown reduction. It does not remove the cooldown. When you select the Ultimate modifier it states the 6 second cooldown does not benefit from cooldown reduction, meaning its immune to the 100% cooldown reduction. So the Ultimate Mighty Throw will have both a cooldown and a fury cost as well. At least it still boosts the damage.
Yes, that is correct. This is not unlike how Delayed Extinction worked previously for Mighty Throw and Steelgrasp. Equipping The Third Blade would have a Cooldown and your damage was modified. It still benefitted from +Core Skills, Core Skill modifiers and Passives like Unbridled and Lucions.
This is a mixed blessing. There are a few ways to lower the CD like Apogeic and another Ultimate.
Mightiest should not have a fury cost with The Third Blade, because the The Third Blade only affects Weapon Mastery skills, which Mightiest is not (otherwise it would benefit from +Weapon Mastery skills). It seems The Third Blade has not been updated to work off of tags yet and is set up to modify specific skills instead.
