I have just switched from a GS to a new Staff build and was testing my hotkeys at the dummies and while the Iwarlocks was out discovered something alarming. Sometimes a iWarlock will have a 100% MISS chance every single attack. Meaning it wont do anything but go through the motion of attacking. Had 2 of them up doing no dmg. Seemed at least 1 out of 3 I would summon would miss 10 out of 10 attacks.

Can I get some other Mezzers to go try there phantisms out on dummies to verify? I tested the Berserker and it seemed fine, so just the Warlock. WIll test a few others also.

Happening to me, as well, when practicing on dummies. They will also hit a target behind the intended target if lined up properly, meaning the projectile is simply missing Diablo style even though it goes directly at said target (it travels along the actual target and goes over it, ignoring it).

Interesting discovery, though I tend to shatter right after the first auto attack, so this doesn’t make a difference to me.

While watching it doesnt even hit the target behind it. Just jumps over it and then goes a few more feet before disappearing. This makes my build way to broken to use. Will go test it out on some actual mobs.

It shouldn’t affect it on mobs, and yes that’s what I meant to try and say (that it jumps over it). I just said it badly. I’m sitting here watching 3 Phantasms miss and have one of them hit a different target behind it…

Unless you’re doing a triple warlock turtle build, it shouldn’t make a huge difference, though.
