Buggy CnD
I have always used hold right mouse and pam camera to aim any skill that has an activation time. Things like using back breaker kiting away and the turning around at the last bit, aiming cnd and LS while the enemy is moving, hosntly you don’t need a target if you can aim with the camera.

I have no idea – actually what is even going on.
Thing is; I learned this game and thief with auto target and at some point it got buggy. By then my “playstyle” was already settled – how should I change that to something that’s much slower to me that easily?
Right now I don’t think I’ll be able to change – and it’s so boring on top of that.
But that auto target is “bugged” is a good explanation why CnD missed in my case and for none of you.
ETA: What if I take your right mouse aim away from you? I’m in that situation now – I’d have to completely change how I’m used to play, even if it sounds like a minor issue for most.
ETA²: Another try to explain what I’m experiencing, or what I think the problem is:
If auto target is turned on it doesn’t accept your target as the target.
It might be that the same auto target is turned on if you have it turned off in the options and are hitting something without having it in target. I switched from auto target to manual target and am killing mobs in orr since, or wherever, because I kill everything in my way anyway – I’m pisces, the most aggressive zodiac sign.. yeah well. Anyway: the hit chances changed the past couple of weeks. It was really bad before I complained once again after the stealth attack cooldown, then it was really good, then it became bad again. It was so/so in wvw but wvw seems to be buggy anyway. So it was nearly perfect in PvE for a short time, then my CnD started to miss again, and I experienced problems with targeting in general, that was when I created this thread. I then switched to manual targeting and it was pretty good a few days ago, tonight my BS missed pretty often, CnD sometimes. The past few days my hit chances when having a mob in target was a lot higher than if not.
= I have no idea what’s going on, I have no idea whether it’s my imagination or anet are really playing with targeting.

The difference is with the right mouse click aim is that is part of the movement side of the game, so they can’t do that. I can’t speak about auto taget as the only time I used that was doing cursed shore farming.

you are probably honestly just standing to close when you CnD it making it seem like the game is bugging out.
Yeah, easy task to stand farther away.
Besides: It already worked for at least 1,5 years.
I need to partly necro this thread, sorry.
Just one thing I wanted to get out (hit chances are still changing daily) :
Daggerstorm isn’t really an AoE skill.
It hits people in a range of 900 (but not the one behind you if they’re not on your screen, if they are then yes, if they are shooting at you with projectiles you will reflect them) – as many as possible. The amount of hits depends on how far away they are from you. If an enemy is right next to you they will be hit 8 times.
What I suspected was that DS assumed I wanted to hit only one enemy 8 times and “ignored” most others. I’m now used to using daggerstorm without target, so no idea if that still applies but it might well be.
