Hunter Ranger Melee Encounter Power Hindering Strike (hit or miss)

ogeafa

I've noticed that on occasion the Encounter Power, Hindering Strike, returns zero damage on both single and group targets in a sporadic manner. It either hits like it should or it is a full miss of all targets. The cool-down starts off but no damage output. I don't know if this is correct or if it is a bug of some sort. If it effects others or if I am the lucky one here. I have not found a pattern, no reason for it to malfunction. This has been going on for a few weeks, however so it's not the most recent patch.

It is a bug, if you fail to hit you also don't proc your Storm's Recovery which screws up your combo.

There is a pattern - you will miss almost 100% of the time if your target reticle moves during the animation ( your main target moves to the side or another target runs between you / you look at another target which causes a soft target lock ) and you will miss often while moving / jumping but that is also mostly due to target locking.

The bug has been there since Mod 16 launch so i wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for a fix.

Well, isn't that just lovely. Kind of interesting I had never noticed it before. Just within the last couple/three weeks it managed to become very noticeable.
I won't hold my breath. I fully understand the professionalism or lack there of when it comes to things like this. Not a big enough issue to dedicate some time to correcting.
Maybe that is the real difference between pay-to-play and free-to-play. *Shrugs* I couldn't honestly says.

The way to avoid this is to try and aim at nothing. The power doesn't require a target and won't bug this way. Hopefully it will get fixed eventually.
