Q:

What would happen if you put feedback on a thief during dagger storm, since both skills reflect projectiles?

Rule of thumb in MMOs i’ve played, is that once reflected, the projectiles cannot be reflected back. And from what i’ve seen – a Dagger Storming Thief under a Feedback is a dead thief.

This is exactly why I’m curious, because it’s always two different answers! haha. Does anyone have a video of this happening or anything?

Enemies in PvE that have the “throws daggers” line (bandits, mostly) use a variation of dagger storm that is effectively a suicide vs. feedback. On the other hand, their variation does not reflect projectiles at all, so this should not be taken to imply ANYTHING about the player’s dagger storm. Disregard anyone who tries to claim anything about this based on PvE enemies.

You can test it yourself on the thief npc in the heart of the mists. She uses the player version of dagger storm and iirc feedback doesn’t cause her to take damage.

I tried it, it’s an instant kill for the mesmer. Whatever you do, do not use feedback on a thief using dagger storm!

@Esorono: Sounds like a troll answer, hahahaha.

Go set up a duel with someone and find out. Best answer ever!

Esorono is right. projectiles can be reflected twice only. insta suicide against a thief using dagger storm.

yep. they all go to whoever reflected them the first time, which in the case of feedback vs dagger storm would be towards the mesmer.

might have been changed, but last time i heard it was like that.

What if you’ve got a traited focus in your off-hand and you throw up a Temportal Curtain?

You get hit by all the daggers that hit the curtain.

There is a video of this somewhere. Feedback on a dagger storm thief is a quick death for the Mesmer.

I’ve gotten caught, somewhat, on this in WvW. Luckily those Thieves don’t like to stand still and are quickly out of the Feedback radius.
