About Arcane Aim

I was on my Bishop earlier, while attacking I noticed my range in the stats window increased, which I presumed to be the effects of Arcane Aim - though I thought Arcane Aim only affects damage output, not the range (i.e. DoT damage).

By any chance do F/ps have this effect, and whether does it affect DoT?

What even makes you think it's a bug in the first place? It really doesn't affect anything at all.

No idea, but it sure feels good seeing range 20k higher then usual.

@iVege: Lol I think it's just one-sided. I suppose I'll have to suck it up and deal with it. Thanks again for being helpful!

At least you won't d/c anymore. Better than not attacking.

If this is a common glitch, it'll get fixed eventually.

If it's not, you can probably fix it with new/fixed software or hardware.

either way it sucks

[quote=TribalEMP]Totally didn't mean to jack your thread, but... what can I do about the Arcane Aim random d/c? It's randomly annoying to randomly d/c in the middle of a random mist eruption in DI/EVO.[/quote]

Reset the skill.

Well you can consider what it shows as your range seeing it's there whenever you're attacking

[quote=cccurrified]I'm just mainly curious whether does this affects DoT - though I suppose it is only a visual effect which doesn't change anything.[/quote]

Total Damage does not affect DoT currently.
Post-RED, I believe Elemental Amplification is the only source of Total Damage that will affect DoT (I guess you can call it Total Damage, even though it isn't).

they changed it to show up on your range. it acts like %dmg so keep that in mind if you feel your range doesn't get buffed 40%
