Ash Bladestorm Update (And Deluxe Skin)
• You actively mark enemies by sweeping your mouse across enemies while holding your ult
• You can mark the same enemy multiple times to attack them more than once
• Upon release, Ash and his clones will actively attack a number of times equal to the marks placed 
• The Energy cost is determined for each mark placed, which is refunded if the enemy dies before Bladestorm is activated
• Since the ease of use and number of targets is getting a form of nerf, it will probably receive a damage buff
• Click HERE to see Rebecca experiment with the new Bladestorm
• Ash Deluxe skin will be releasing with the Bladestorm update

Thanks.
Pretty disappointed with Ash's Bladestorm. I expected something different but it looks like we're gonna be stuck with vomit fest forever.
And to think that nothing else aside from Bladestorm is changing... like the Smoke Shadow augment won't even scale off of range?
(sigh)... I cri...

This right here has got to be the part I'm most excited about...I made a suggestion a while back similar to this and I'm so happy to see this coming I can't stand myself right now heh.

I was scared about Frost Deluxe. I was hoping it'd be Aleph if anything.

I'm no longer worried. Can't wait.

Hope the weapon deluxes/armour/syandana (if any) are a bit more impressive though.

Better, but still pretty ugly...I do like the "old sketch" though...

-B

Yeah, it's still pretty bad. I don't think there's anyway it can work with that lean feline body. That kind of face only works on an appropriately fuzzy, stocky body.

Yeah, I really like it too, will definitely get it if it turns out close to this (I think Frost P is pretty plain looking so this skin will be a welcome addition).

How do i supposed to farm Corpus Rathuum without Ash? This is unacceptable!

ash isn't going anywhere...It does appear they're going to visit some changes to his bladestorm, which as an ash player myself I don't mind. I run ash as a soloist for all the obvious reasons and I hope that this change will give me more control over blade storm as I do not always want to wait out a long string of animations before continuing my mission,

I hope they're going to put a toggle on it, or some way to stop the attack if I need to break out of it. Hopefully they also rework shuriken too so that it will aim to cursor rather than to nearest enemy.

I've never played Ash, but this was my first thought too. It just sounded awkward and uncomfortable to use. Especially for console players - not sure about XBox, but I believe default PS4 controls has you activate powers by swiping on the touchpad. So what would that be? You swipe and then hold your finger on the touchpad while you struggle to move around?

I always play mouse and keyboard so I can imagine controllers have their own special set of problems to overcome. There are iin fact a lot of things I do ingame that I don't know that I could do with a controller.

by default we have 2 power activation modes. swiping the touchpad for powers, depressing it for Tenno power and holding R1+(square, triangle circle, x) for powers and R1+L1 for tenno power. its actually really simple to get used to the latter button combo rather than the swiping. i actually have my gearwheel set to my toughpad swipes
