Is Twister still good in 0.5?
Short answer: yes. Twister was left unchanged in 0.5, and in a patch full of nerfs, "no nerf" is effectively a buff. It’s widely rated one of the safest league-start picks this patch.
01 What changed: nothing
GGG’s 0.5 notes list Twister as unchanged, still strong for Spear builds. Paired with the Spirit Walker ascendancy (extra projectile speed and additional projectiles), the package is arguably better than it was before, simply because everything around it got hit.
02 The honest read
Early-league starter lists rate Twister Spirit Walker among the biggest winners of 0.5 precisely because it dodged the nerf bat. It’s a safe, smooth day-1 pick that scales well into mapping.
