Whirling slash nerf - was it neccesary?

Why was whirling slash movement speed nerfed to the ground?

I understand with having too much AS it was decent movment utillity, but why nerf it to almost 0? We have so many fast builds in game, but this wasn't even one of fastest.

Maybe remove that "Fix" that made it move less with more attack speed and adjust slightly how far it moves you instead of making you almost stationary when you attack fast. More attack speed should result in faster movement, not slower...

For ascendancy like Kitava it is only option for fast movement, because lack of Temporalis option.

Please?

Because a certain poe streamer popularized the whirling slash build and GGG saw it, so they nerfed it. You think they play the game to balance skills?

They just did stupid nerf, that fixes what that streamer abused, but also made skill unusable for everyone else. Just because they didnt accounted that for it's "proper" use you need elemental ground and to have it consistently, you loose movement speed on boot resulting in like 50% reducement of speed for streamer and like 90% for other builds...

Yea, they nerfed it wrong and without proper testing + I think it is bad idea to do it based on streamers that have hundreds of divines. So basically everything they do is crazy OP.

Isn't that so dystopic? Does GGG always act like such an evil government?
