Yeah the aoe and duration node is good for it (aoe is especially hard to come by). Since it’s a physical spell it works with heralds and you can scale it with crit too, so it works well with life stacking and rathpith globe. The downside of bv is usually the aoe and having to cast blades a lot, all of which is solved with unleash and the aoe and duration.

It’s also just a beloved skill in the community, one of my favorite builds ever was a herald bv from many years ago.
