Staff Lunge, WAI?

[Artagon]

I'm sorry if folks have already discussed this enhancement.. but it doesn't seem to do what it says it's supposed to do.. as far as I can tell it really only hits the people at the end of the lunge, and the distance traveled is pretty darn short.. is it based on your tumble score or something? If I could get some tips on how to use this properly if it isn't bugged, I'd love to hear them.

Overall, I did not like the animation or the attack. Sometimes, it seemed to miss people standing right in front of me. I would back up a step, or tumble when I had a full 20 acrobat, then use the attack.

I finally ditched it altogether.

It's not very useful or good for anything but getting to the Vault ability. Only take 1 rank of it if you have to and don't bother assigning it to a hotbar.

Its also on same timer as vault, dont think it should be, but it is.

is this still broken? I've been using this skill but seem to be getting the same effect hitting only 1 enemy. It seems to even cause more of an inconvenience by lunging forward and needing to step back, wc causes dangerous situations falling off places and just missing more enemies

Timer is fixed though

It seems to be a situational use kind of skill to me. The movement is incredibly short if you're standing still but is much further if you use it at a run. I'm finding it decent as a gap clearer to start fights, and it's a good escape move if you're surrounded and can't otherwise move.

Well, as other stated above, i only spend one point in Staff Lounge only to access Vault. Buuuut i do use it stituationally and have it in ym hotkeybar. I mostly use it to engage into a gruop of mobs while i wait for them to group up so i can cleave-trip them. I have noticed that not all seem to get hit in the line, perhaps the hitbox (or hitline?) got messed up, cause i remember it used to in fact hit enemies in a line as you advanced.

My 2 pesos cheers!

The DC should be based your dex or trip DCs. I've always claimed it was broken, or needed a redesign, but TA didn't have a long stint as FotM, so the majority moved along and I never could get much traction on the subject back in 2015ish. It should be comparable to a cleave, but you're lucky if it hits more than 1 or 2 in a mob if you line them up.
