Need your feedback and approval for this spell

Aero and me had been fighting for a few days now over this
ability Thunder Blade. He said that the concept of my spell is
bad and that it is not tactical enough. So here we are again,
calling upon the judgement of members of TCO forum to help
us/me. The test map has been attached to this post.
When you vote, please vote correctly and use all of your 5
votes. This isn't a joke, it is serious business here. You also
need to/should post your own feedback/review as a reply to this
thread.

Thunder Blade
Every X seconds Fradz's swords are charged with lightning
energy. The next attack is enhanced with bonus damage, deals
critical damage and purges the target for 5 seconds,
immobilizing it during the first 2 seconds and slowing it by a
factor of 5. Purged units will slowly regain their movement
speed over the next 3 seconds. Calc: Bonus Damage: 0.4*AGI.
Critical Rate: 1.00+0.15*abilvl. Cooldown: 31.25-0.25*abilvl.

What do you mean by "tactical"? The skill is very good, i can't
see nothing exactly wrong about it.
About my vote...i'm trying to understand why Aero didn't like
it, so i'll wait, maybe he saw smth that i didn't.

I can't see what's the problem with this ability. It's useful,
simple and practical, and should be imported.
Oh, and Aero wants to change this ability to something like:
when Fradz is attacked, there's a chance that he'll fly to the
rear of the enemy and attack it. FYI.

My votes and why:
Not tactical
- Basically, since it is a passive, it can dish or bash here and
there, so because it is pretty random, it's not really tactical.
Practical in-game
- Practical in such way that whilst you're busy using these and
those other skills, this doesn't need supervising, except for
maybe if you want to direct the bonus hit to a specific monster.
Then again, is it a real problem unless you spend it on a minion
in a boss fight?
Good spell concept
- The spell has potential... as a pre-combat buff.
Balanced
- With a proper cooldown, it is balanced.
I don't want this ability to be imported
- ...Because it's a passive BUFF spell. Make it an active skill
with a few adjustments and it's gonna be beautiful. Well,
everything assured...

Thanks Flecky very much for his feedback. Okay so after a few
minutes of coding I have finally created this: Thunder Blade
Active Version!!! One click and you get a buff that lasts for 7
seconds or 1 attack.

Thunder Blade
Fradz utilizes magical lightning to power-up his blades. The
next attack is enhanced with bonus damage, deals critical damage
and purges the target for 5 seconds, immobilizing it during the
first 2 seconds and slowing it by a factor of 5. Purged units
will slowly regain their movement speed over the next 3 seconds.
The buff lasts for 7 seconds or 1 attack. Calc: Bonus Damage:
0.4*AGI. Critical Rate: 1.00+0.15*abilvl. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Beautiful effect (I love the flashing and the way his hands are
electrified), but I don't understand how the critical works here
(1.00+0.15*abilvl). It seems like the hit always is critical
when the buff is active. And I think it should have some effects
like Stagger or Bleed or something so it would make a chaining
combo with other skills :D It requires timing skill already,
right?

It could be that the "critical rate" in the formula should
actually be "critical damage", so that each level enhances the
critical damage dealt.

The term crit rate is really comrehensible and obvious. I don't
know why you can't understand. For example your skill is at
level 1, the crit rate will be 1.15x (1.15 times your attack
damage) and if your skill is level 20 it will be 4x (4 times
your attack dmg). This is like an unholy combination of Jinada
and Enchant Totem. Powerful and capable of scaling perfectly
with the campaign.
This skill's secondary purpose is removing bosses' positive
bugs. Therefore no more buff placing, no more ...

Nope, actually, in every MMO and so forth, I've seen the crit
rate being the chance to trigger a crit strike and the crit dmg
being the critical DAMAGE enhancing factor.
Of course, there's as often crit chance as there's crit rate,
sometimes both, in which case both refer to the possibility of
dealing a critical strike.

Then we should use the term 'crit multiplier'. Simple and
straightforward.
