Hi,

I just did some testing since i read about dagger storm being buggy sometimes and i myself also thought it does not allways hit as often as it should.

Allready reported it in the bug forums with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2eqt74ig5Y

What are your experiences with dagger storm?

If you stand in an open field and use Dagger Storm, you’ll see a projectile fly from your arms every so often. Each of these daggers is the actual projectile being shot from DS.

Each of these projectiles also bounce.

Unless you want to manually rotate your screen to the timing of each dagger, you’re not going to hit your target with all of the blades (bar giant targets or big blobs of mobs). The reason why you have to manually rotate your screen is because the automatic rotation speed using character turning is not fast enough to compensate.

Additionally, the reflect from Dagger Storm is quite silly. It seems, to me, to create an area where it will reflect projectiles, namely your arms. This means that projectiles that arc can hit you because you’re not being protected from above. Also, your hit box itself seems to be unsafe. This means if you’re standing in a spot where projectiles will spawn, you can also get hit even though the projectile is being shot horizontally.

Tl;dr: Projectiles get reflected the more horizontal they are upon impact. Being too close to targets can and will cause you to get hit instead of reflecting projectiles even though the shots are horizontal. Projectiles that arc at you (vertical hits) may bypass your reflect and hit you.

Unless you’re using this to clear trash or hit a boss that has a lot of spawns, I would suggest using this only for the stability and cancelling it immediately. Either that or run Thieves Guild/Racial.

Mandatory to live through ranger RF. Can’t switch it out for anything else.
