NeoNSoNicXJR Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 In PVP when using a Marksmanship build on my Sniper Penetrating Blasts only fires 4 shots then reloads and doesnt apply reestablish range knockback when finished. After using Sniper Volley Penetrating Blasts fires all 5 shots and applies knockback effect like its supposed to. Basically, the devs need to fix the Penetrating Blasts ability to fire all 5 shots again like its supposed to and apply the Reestablish Range knockback when its picked in the specialization box.

Pherdnut Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Definitely works in PVE for me. Haven't PVPed for a while but I'll see if I can verify tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuNtOziO Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Main reason for this is that god awful new pen blasts animation. The animation bugs out often, doesnt shoot all shots properly and doesnt even make the firing sound effect everytime. The original one when 3.0 came out was *far* superior and never had this bug either. I pvp on my sniper also, please restore the original and superior animation and be done with it. easy fix.

Glower Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Bugged to the hell. 3-4 shots (it is supposed to be 5, like with Series of Shots? Right?), no sound after first shot etc... Please fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoNSoNicXJR Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Ok the knockback is fixed when you have reestablish range but it still fires 4 shots most of the time when sometimes it fires 5 after using sniper volley when its supposed to consistently fire 5 shots like before they changed the animation of penetrating blasts to the new one they have now. So basically before they touched the animation it would consistently fire 5 shots even after sniper volley and it would consistently knockback. now it rarely fires all 5 shots and just fires 4. change it to fire 5 shots when you use penetrating blasts. while series of shots stays 4. then everything is fixed.

Have you actually checked the combat log to verify 4 shots? I went through a bunch of my logs and there are 5 shots in the log every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardimuer Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Keep in mind that the animation and sound effect of Penetrating Blasts usually does not match up with the activation time. I frequently only see/hear 2 shots before the channel is over, but the target is hit by the correct number of shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoNSoNicXJR Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) this is in pvp i fire penetrating blasts most if the time its 4 shots then after a sniper volley sometimes 5 shots. flytext shows like 4 damage numbers sometimes 5 but its bad. before the new animation it would never bug out they need to fix this sniper class breaking bug. just pvp and you'll see its **** Edited June 27, 2015 by NeoNSoNicXJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoNSoNicXJR Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 devs please fix this **** in the next update this should be stickied until its fixed i swear in pvp its 4 shots atleast 80% of the time when its supposed and used to be 5 shots until they put a busted *** animation in.

NeoNSoNicXJR Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Just checked again to see if this would be fixed in the 3.3 update. Still wonky in PvP usually fires 4 shots instead of all 5 shots. Is the Gunslinger variant of this move also like this? Penetrating Blasts is the series of shots upgrade you get at level 26 for marksmanship specialization. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camelpockets Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Have you actually checked the combat log to verify 4 shots?

wadecounty Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Before you keep complaining do what this guy says. The animations/cast times usually don't line up. Yup, I can say from looking at logs I've always seen 5 shots. Also, if you're basing this off the knockback not applying to players, test it in /duels. But assuming its not working based on random warzone anecdotal evidence creates a few possibilities, including lag not properly updating player position (so they weren't within 10 meters on the last hit even if it appeared they were on your screen), or you not realizing they were white barred or had some sort of physics immunity buff up.

NeoNSoNicXJR Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 All you guys have to do is bring your marskmanship sniper into a pvp warzone to clearly see its a buggy 4 shots 90% of the time with a bad animation when before the devs messed with the marksmanship penetrating blasts animation it used to be 5 shots 100% of the time, with a working good animation. So what im saying is the developers of the game need to finally fix this busted animation or roll back the animation so it always fires 5 shots. Also dont give me this log BS its clearly broke and has been for a long time and anyone who pvps with a marksmanship sniper knows this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metthew Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 anyone who pvps with a marksmanship sniper knows this. I PvP pretty much exclusively with a MM sniper and I always get the last shot with the knockback. I do agree, however, that the animation should be rolled back. The old animation shared with Series of Shots was superior to the horrible hand cannon thing we have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
