Blade Vortex (often referred to as BV) is a spell that creates an ethereal blade that spins around the caster that deals physical damage, each blade lasting for the minimum duration of 4 seconds.
Skill functions and interactions
Interaction w/ Blade Blast of Unloading: When targeted by Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Blade Blast of Unloading", the blades will detonate in sequence, increasing in AoE with subsequent detonations. The damage from these detonations scale solely from the Blade Blast skill.
Maximum blades: Up to 10 blades can be active at a time. Once the limit is reached, creating a new blade will simply remove the oldest existing active blade.
Visual effect: Blade vortex's visual effect does not scale with Area of effect modifiers. Instead, to give a rough indication of radius, there are several versions of the knife effect, each rotating at a different radius. The skill will always try to have one knife using the largest-radius effect that's not larger than the actual radius of the skill, but that skill results in discrete visual changes where you need to reach a certain threshold before the next wider effect can be used. The full radius is always used mechanically.[1]
Multiple casts: When Blade Vortex is linked to Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Unleash Support", the damage is defined by the initial cast and does not inherit the less damage multiplier.[2] This behavior includes the Greater Spell Echo Support from Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Pledge of Hands".

Calculating DPS
Blade Vortex's in-game tooltip DPS gives the average damage of one hit from one Blade Vortex instance, multiplied by casts per second. This value is misleading primarily because Blade Vortex can hit more than once over its duration, thus not cast speed must be used, but hits per second (rounds per second, spin rate), over the duration of the stacks.
Math and tables
Base spin rate of Blade Vortex is 600 ms. Blade Vortex hit more frequently with more stacks it has. As gem says: 35% increased Hit Rate for each blade. So spin time is calculated as
Assuming spin rate increases for 35% for each stack, we have the following data:
Stacks | Hit Rate (ms) | Hits Per Second |
---|---|---|
0 | 600 | 1.667 |
1 | 444 | 2.250 |
2 | 353 | 2.833 |
3 | 293 | 3.417 |
4 | 250 | 4.000 |
5 | 218 | 4.583 |
6 | 194 | 5.167 |
7 | 174 | 5.750 |
8 | 158 | 6.333 |
9 | 145 | 6.917 |
10 | 133 | 7.500 |
Each stack of Blade Vortex increases hit damage with the following formula:
Where is per-stack damage increase factor.
Then we need just multiply hits per second with hit damage.
Assuming 35% more damage per stack, then using base hit damage as 1, we would expect the following per-hit damage increases:
Stacks | Damage Per Hit | Effective DPS Multiplier |
---|---|---|
0 | 1.00 | 1.667 |
1 | 1.35 | 3.04 |
2 | 1.70 | 4.82 |
3 | 2.05 | 7.00 |
4 | 2.40 | 9.60 |
5 | 2.75 | 12.60 |
6 | 3.10 | 16.02 |
7 | 3.45 | 19.84 |
8 | 3.80 | 24.07 |
9 | 4.15 | 28.70 |
10 | 4.50 | 33.75 |
Finally, to obtain sustained DPS from tooltip use the following formula:
