Yo Dawg! Heard you like twisters, so I make the twister spawn twister while twisting, and the spawned twister can then spawn more twisting twister!

LOL
Btw, simple solution would be diminishing effect of every new ET. If 8 is max right now, lets say each new ET is weaker by XX% than the last one. That way Blizzard would actually make ET more balanced, even if they make its effective hitbox interaction area a bit larger, since its needle sized atm.

My solution to fix ET would be this (I already wrote this before, but I'd really like this mechanic, so I say it again ):
- fix the bug where they get stuck in the environment
- make them bounce from the walls of slow time bubbles so that wizards can "trap" them with monsters insight the bubble
- balance the damage
It would make the playstyle easier (since you don't have to study every pixel in the environment), still let the skill be chaotic (since it still moves around) but would make ET only viable with Delseres but I don't think that's a problem.
And while I'm fixing wizard: Archon is a joke and needs changes as well. It shouldn't be all about the autocast nova from Chantodos. That's not what Archon is about...
That bouncing in the time bubble is a really nice idea. Would be pretty damn fun to see in action

We actually do have a pending Energy Twister/Twisted Sword change coming. We have identified an issue that was preventing the cap of 8 Twisters on Twisted Sword from taking effect. TLDR; The change to Twisted Sword in 2.4.1 to a cap of 8 never really stuck.
We're going to give this bug fix a run for the next PTR patch. If we find Energy Twister is still over-performing, we may continue to tweak and adjust numbers as needed. We know how important this topic is to the community, and we're keeping our ears to the ground throughout the 2.4.2 PTR process for your feedback!
Is this changing? Are there more patch notes to come? :((((
Relax, this is first ptr note, more will come.

I expect to see something like this though:
"Energy Twisters spawn new energy twisters on each hit of an enemy. Energy twisters spawned by energy twisters can spawn energy twisters."
