Hi,

Sometimes the Dagger Storm from thief hits nothing!!
I am not sure how to reproduce it since it seems somewhat random.

here a video of testing:

Update: I think it might have to do something with the non targeted use.

When holding down the right mouse button to change the camera to see the character from above while moving, projectile skills shoot right into the floor.

But Dagger Storm is not a single projectile that is shot into one direction.

I wonder if that behavior is intended.
I also have no idea how the targeting of the skill works.

Is it just like a 2d circle around the character that gets rotated when you look up/down with the camera?

Then it should only be able to hit targets that are directly right of left of you when you look up or down?

I have no idea and would take alot more testing to find that out.

But there is obviously something wrong with this skill when looking up or down without having a target.

Pretty annoying in WvW when the skill hits nothing because you want to see the fight from above to see everything.

Dagger storm is one of only a handful of skills that can hit more that five targets. It is supposed to up to 8 targets within it’s range prioritizing the closest targets. It is not usable underwater though, so perhaps there is a wonky z-axis bug when used without a target. Perhaps something in the coding to make it ‘level out’ when used on a slope. I hope that makes sense. It is all I can come up with though.
