Why does Umbral Blades/Bladestorm just not work?

[some (momi)]

Sometimes, I can throw 3 umbral blades on the ground, and they work normally; replacing the oldest one if I continue to recast the skill.

Other times, it does the standard 1-2-return combo of the base Umbral Blades - and I didn't change anything. I can't even get the 3rd bladestorm the talent says I should be able to have.

Am I missing something?

Oh I see; it was a bug with the Explosive Blades talent - if you have it then remove it, it still has the 'can't be recalled' effect until you leave town . . . that's super obnoxious. Why let me have 3 bladestorms if I can only throw 2 before I recall them anyways?

This patch literally broke a great margin of skills or nodes, I am really afraid to try new stuff.
Umbral Blades was on the list, damn :(

U need the node that let's u throw a 3rd one which is to the right of the skill tree.

Explosive blades isn't bugged. U can still only throw 2 without that node allowing for a 3rd throw.

I'm playing an umbrella blades build it seems to be working the way it should afaik tell based on the last time I played it in 8.5f

Umbral Blades is, in fact, bugged. The bladestorm doesn't target the mouse pointer. It goes to the maximum distance, which is usually offscreen, making it useless.
