You want bladestorm to scale with enemy HP?! While I do think it is a viable idea, what about other abilities and warframes? Dont they deserve the same?

Bladestorm already has the biggest base damage for an ultimate ability, it also is applied up to 3 times, each leaving a DoT for 35% of damage per second for 7 seconds. It also ignores all defences.

As for energy costs, with base 150 pool you can mark up to 10 enemies (no efficiency mods, no invisibility). For that you deal up to 33562.5 finisher damage (no power mods) over the course of up to 30* seconds (no speed mods on weapon, delay for all DoT to finish) while being invincible. (*time to attack without speed mods not measured, much less with speed buffs)

Breakdown of damage:

- base  2000 up to 3 times

- guaranteed proc of 35% with 25% buff from ash passive 875 (up to 3 times!)

- bleed proc duration 7 ticks standard plus 50% from ash passive 10.5 seconds

- total 2000*3*(1+0.35*1.25*7*1.5)

If you find other ultimates with better energy-to-damage ratio, I will join you in calling for a buff:) Otherwise #nerfashmore
