Sonic Fists

[Exozone]

Anyone having problems with Sonic Fists?  I have Adept 3 at level 58 and the thing almost never goes off.  Tried it 10 times tonight and it only went off 2 times.  Is it supposed to be like this?  Is it supposed to be a worthless skill?  Anyone have Master, does it work better? <div></div>

Maybe its the adpt3 version but I have no problems with my sonic fists at all.

<P>I have the adept 3 version as well.  Is this the problem?</P> <P>Is the adept 3 version of the spell buggy?</P> <P>Is anyone not reporting problems with the adept 3 version?</P> <P>I know the skill isn't really that good (even if it wasn't bugged), but I'd still like all my combart arts working.</P>

<P>Ok so last night I was watching for Sonic Fist to bug. I did have a few times where I wasnt teleported and would do no damage but I would still pull the mob. So is that a bug or a resist or a parry or what?</P> <P> </P>

Sonic Fists hasn't worked for me in days now. <div></div>

[Colossaltitan]

It still works for me, Just not as often as it should IMO.<BR><BR>But you can't complain some type of bug, it counts as a melee attack, I can't imagine as to why it would get missed more or less than any other CA.

[Danter]

<P>If it said in the message screen that the mob blocked/parries/avoided it, I'd think this is the case.</P> <P>However, I've tried this ability verse lvl 4 mobs in the Sprawl at level 60 with Adept 3 Offensive Stance and it still only works 75% of the time.</P>

sonic fists works every time for me. <div></div>

What the glitch in the matrix is though I don't know, just doesn't seem likely it's the attack that is avoided.Oh and teleporting below geometry isn't that cool either.</span><div></div>

[Colossaltitan]

Geometry is probably the biggest issue when pulls get "resisted."<BR> <DIV>When you miss its probably they avoid, block or parry you.. I haven't checked specifically but thats the most logical idea for why things are missing.<BR>Why it misses so much, IDK... Just give us Tsunami and say screw Sonic Fists.</DIV>
