FrancisN.9276 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I wonder if it is the clunky part of the skill or the short reflect frame (1s), but I tested it on skeleton archers in Dragonfall map and everytime I pressed Dust Strike right when the skeleton knelt down to prepare the shot, the shots just went through. The only way to reflect those shots for me was to start Dust Strike BEFORE the skeleton shooting telegraph begins. For a skill that only last 1s, and having to start before the oponent's attack telegraph, that is not very useful, is it? My ping is 70-100ms, which is about the average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacchary.6183 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 While I was playing around with staff DE in Skywatch, I was trying to kill a bristleback that was near a pylon I was trying to CC and used Dust Strike to reflect its bristles back at it. It was pretty effective at it afaik. Did about as much damage as BONK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charybdizs.7490 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Reflect timing does seem a little odd to me, but I'm more disappointed that it came with a big range nerf and a shoddy animation which doesn't even fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For consecutive rapid low-damage shots, Dust Strike can reliably reflect some projectiles back because those shots spread over 5-6s duration. However, for hard-hitting shots that shoot out in less than 1s time frame, Dust Strike is not at all precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
