Crushing Blow almost deals more damage than Nimbus Strike at level 1 when maxing Nimbus Strike. Because it has good scaling. Leveling it up doesn't make the scaling better.

Nimbus Strike on the other hand. Has a much higher base damage, has a scaling attack speed buff, and hits three people, as opposed to one. Sure, Crushing Blow might have a bigger number, but when you combine the damage you do with the higher base damage, the attack speed buff, and the damage to three people, Nimbus Strike is just better. Plain and simple.

Also, the cooldown doesn't go down, but whatever. Honestly I think that's an okay sacrifice. The higher mana cost is completely irrelevant.
