SPOILER [HERO Beta] Anyone else find Uppercut too finicky?

I already kind of wrote a bug report about this, but I want to know other people's opinions. So far, I've been thoroughly enjoying exploring the new abilities and spell changes, one of which is that Uppercut now has a much narrower and shorter range. The thing is that it seems really picky about when exactly enemies are affected by it. It seems that only when I'm above or level with but now below enemies, standing at some two blocks away from them and aiming directly at them, that Uppercut hits them. In other words: at point blank range, when I'm standing one block below enemies, or when aiming slightly away from them, Uppercut misses. It also seems to occur pretty frequently that mobs to the left of the particles are hit, but in front of them aren't. Mind you there are no abilities that increase Uppercut's range without changing its functionality. As it stands, I tend to simply not use Uppercut, it's simply not as reliable as Bash. I hope this changes as development continues.

 

oof, that doesn’t sound good
i hope they fix it too

 

confirmimg that some spells like uppercut suck at where they hit

 

I do yeah, I was just about to write about it in my warrior thread in beta discussion.

 

I realized that uppercut was doing air with that little range, so i swapped archetype to mainly battle monk with mantle of the bovemist mixed in. good tankiness and damage.

 

soooooo does warrior uppercut now have only as much range as assassin multi?

 

Complete agreement here! The particles and the hitbox do not seem to match up, thank you for saving me from making a post about it!

 

Warrior is effective worse after the patch

It got even more melee, they should've BUFFED base defense to like 130% to compensate.

 

there is a hero beta thoughts and discussion subforum for this stuff

 

I only found that section today, maybe a mod could move it

 

It's got like ~three blocks more

 

2*

 

oof
wait that means that the longer reach upgrade on multihit will give it the same reach as uppercut wtf
