Effectiveness of Added Damage: 250%Requires Level 16Deals spell damage in an area around you. If you have Blade Vortex blades orbiting you, it will detonate each of them in turn, dealing damage again in an area around you for each one.Deals (40-1107) to (60-1661) Physical Damage
Base radius is 1.4 metres
100% more Area of Effect per Blade Vortex blade detonated

Maximum blades: Up to 10 blade stacks can be active at a time. Each stack has its own duration.
Hit interval: When the blade is first spawned, the skill will deal a hit after the hit interval duration (0.6 seconds with one blade).
Multiple casts: Blade Vortex can have multiple stacks, but it only has one skill effect, based on the original cast or trigger. This means effects that apply to entire casts of a skill must apply to the first cast to have an effect, and effects that only apply to additional blades will normally not affect Blade Vortex, such as less damage from Unleash SupportUnleash SupportSpell, Support Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality:

Supported Skills deal (50-41)% less Damage when Reoccurring
Supported Skills deal (0.5-10)% increased Spell Damage
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.[2]

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 cast speed must not 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 |
