    Hi, small question here I just wanted to ask to clear things up.
    I play a spellspam boltslinger as my main, and thus I use arrow storm spam as my main method of damage. I couldn't find this within patch notes (unless I just didn't look hard enough) but it feels like arrow storm's knockback has been drastically increased. I'm just looking to see if I'm the only person who sees this.
    I don't know how this came to be, if it's a bug or a feature, however this makes using arrow storm almost unviable against anything other than KB immune bosses. I frequent the TNA raid, and minibosses, particularly the Dendrite Drifter, are now almost impossible to fight as they are pushed back so far and so hard I just cannot keep close enough to them to deal decent damage. The Dendrite Drifter is also sometimes flung high into the air with no spell usage from me other than arrow storm, so I feel very sure this is a bug.

    Anybody at all, feedback? Is this a glitch or a feature?

    I've noticed this as well. It's made it really annoying to test my damage on the test dummies in Lutho.

    I'm not quite sure. This didn't just happen today, it happened several days before today's patch was added. I only complained about it now because I assumed it was a bug that would be corrected in the patch, and it wasn't. It also* wasn't included in this patch's patch nodes.

    If any mods or admins or whatever are reading, I could really use a clear and concise answer.

    Seems like this change occurred about a couple weeks ago, but I'll see if I can find out anything about it. This message will be updated if that does happen

    Bumping this thread and adding some more information. I haven't played Wynn since this change was added as my main class is basically unplayable. I'm very sure this is a glitch, and again, if any admins or mods are watching, please fix the game or say it's a solid change, because if this is the case and this is actually intended, I will not be playing boltslinger anymore.
    To reiterate, the knockback from arrow storm has been drastically, drastically increased. The whole point of arrow storm is to get close to an enemy and land as many arrows from the storm as possible, thus dealing the most damage possible. The knockback arrow storm now does pushes mobs back ludicrously far, and I'm not exagerrating. If you do this at close range, it even pushes the mobs UPWARD. I found a Lutho citizen, stood a block above them and arrow stormed them at point blank, and the citizen was knocked back into the air like the citizen itself casted escape.

    Last time I checked boltslinger was not about dealing this knockback.

    I understand Spellbound was a lot of work, but mods, admins, devs, CT, whoever does the work, please try to fix these game-breaking bugs. This bug has entirely invalidated arrow storm as a strategy, and as this was my main thing for a while I won't be playing until this is patched. It's been like this for apparently a few weeks.
    I'll be submitting a bug report about this.

    Concurred. I'd rather see arrow storm damage just get flat out decreased than blasting the mob to the next time zone over. Last time I checked this was arrow shield's job, for archer, at least.

    Saw "Salted replied to your post..." And I was like "Oh crap I'm about to get told off by an admin for complaining about a bug" but no thank you. I greatly appreciate your reply and thank you for specifying. This relieved me a lot more than you'd think. Thank you Salted, very cool!
