Hello!

As I flagged before patch there are some major issues with the targeting of secondary Black Arrows/Kill Shots coming from Withering Fire and Hunter’s Prey. They seem to be targeting a 180° degree cone in front of the hunter regardless of whether the enemy is in combat with the hunter or not, some examples (extra spaces added in links so I could post):

This is especially bad in dungeons with tightly packed mobs such as The Dawnbreaker, and makes Dark Ranger nearly unplayable in these dungeons, as you’re pretty much always at the risk of pulling something unless you carefully consider your positioning and facing at all times.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon, cheers!

Hello.

We’ve been working this past week to identify the root causes of some of these issues. We had a fix to Hunter’s Prey go out yesterday and fixes to Withering Fire are being deployed today.

You should see it behave much more consistently than before.

We really appreciate you taking the time to bring this bug to our attention.
