Im DEAD TIRED of my skills going THROUGH the enemies and hitting behind them -_-

I have to be close to use my skills but if im too close (which for some reason monsters love to get right in my frigging face) my skills go through the damn enemies hitting behind them and doing no damage whatsoever.

Slayers chiming in as well.

I'd like to see this fixed.

Give me a smaller weapon if you want. I really don't care. I just don't want to hit behind my enemy.

Heart thrust.. the bane of my existence, I love the skill but if I don't attack mobs from a bit of range then it doesn't hit because I go straight through them.

I have issues with this..so many frigging issues.

To get around this, I use heart thrust in conjunction with Startling kick. The kick puts me far enough away that unless I'm going steeply uphill, heart thrust lands.

However, I haven't gotten backstab yet, and I believe backstab is meant to chain into heart thrust.

So many attack skills advance the character forward toward the mob, which often leaves you too close and you end up with the OPs situation. I find myself wanting to move back during combat which isn't a good idea because it gives the mob free hits to your back.

Can we please get a response?

Warrior reporting in. If you're too close to a mob most skills go through them. It forces you to keep a small gap between yourself and the mob and if you choose to face tank anything, you'll end up hitting air most of the time.

As a berserker I sort of disagree. An axe blade I can see doing a bunch of damage, but bonking someone on the head with the shaft of an axe doesn't seem like much... I'm perfectly fine with a maximum AND minimum range on that skillset.

A sword, however, does not have much of a minimum range. Especially not if thrust.

Positioning so that you don't overshoot attacks that are landing at range is just part of the game.

If they adjusted min ranges downward, the max range would also go down (since I imagine they don't want to suddenly increase the radius by 50%). That's not going to be great.
