Q:

Quick question, are the auto attacks of staff clones meant to bounce? Mine never seem to but I’m sure they used to.

They do, but bouncing has a shorter range than the attack itself. Edit: Something like 600 range for the bounce.

I thought staffs attack has a total range of 1200. If you attack from 1200, there won’t be a bounce, if you attack from 900, there’ll be a 300 ranged bounce.
Maybe it’s a combined version, but I thought I saw the bounce trying to reach me again and just stopping in front of me (no granting boons). But once I stepped closer, it hit me. So I came up with this “total range” idea.

While that is theoretically possible, it’s much more likely that the bounce itself has a separate 600 range.

It wouldn’t be too hard to test though: summon a Staff clone at max range, then step within 600 range of your target. The WOC from the Staff clone will have to travel a total of >1200 range to bounce to you. This assumes a Staff clone WOC bounce is coded the same as your own.

The other way to test would be to cast WOC at ~1200 range as you are running towards your target, so that you end up within 600 range. Your WOC would have to travel a total of >1200 range in this case as well.

The clone WoC is definitely different from yours. It uses a beta version that travels differently, at the very least. If you actually intend to test this, do so with your own skill.
