Ice Knife doing 0 dmg

joangruber

Lately this problem has been an issue for me, my IK seems to do no damage at all, even though the targeted player has no apparent skill (block, dodge), and the daily gets used anyways. One time I got knocked down almost at the same time as casting it though, is this supposed to happen or is the UI bugged (i.e doesn't show block)?

Clerics have a skill called Prophecy that will block all incoming dmg from 1 attack every minute or so, or they are affected by Soulforged enchant that renders them immune to damage for 2-4 seconds when they hit 25%

I've had this problem on several classes with ranged targted Dailys. It seems like if they move out of range or aim durning the end of the animation the abillty fires off, but doesn't trigger the dmg. However, the Shocking Execusion seems to do just the opposite. It will hit you but might not do full dmg, due to shifting or dodge, and sometimes not burn all the AP and instantly cool down. I've done this myself, and I've also got hit by a TR firering SE 3 times in 3 seconds on me.

The same thing occurs when using cleric encounters/dailies, and the cleric has slower to cast and delayed cast attacks.

His deflection might have also just proced contributing toward the damage reduction. My GWF for example has almost a 40% deflection chance with the effectiveness being at 50%. If it procs, especially while I'm unstoppable you might as well be swinging at the air.

Also there seems to be an issue while you're activating your daily you can be knocked out of it or stunned, etc before you're able to complete. Happens all the time when I do Crescendo, as I'm about to do the final attack of it, if a CW freezes or knocks me away for example, my damage doesn't accumulate.

This is exactly what I was thinking, I really don't think a daily power should be able to be cancelled this way. I think earlier if your daily was dodged, it was still usable afterwards, so it didn't reset. I feel like this has been changed in some of these latest patches in my opinion, and there has been no 'patch note' about it.

Yes, but this is not the issue. I'm talking about no damage immunity skill active whatsoever.
