Dark Spear question

Well after getting my dark spear i notice that mostly of time i cast the skill, doesnt hit anything even if im closer to the monster... Im doing something wrong? i can cast like 10 times the skill and only work 1 or 2 times... Anyone else have the same problem?

@xxjarakudaxx: In the end it's a matter of flash vs practicality. I would advise against maxing dark spear until you have the more important skills boosted, and not to stress out too much if it isn't functioning up to its fullest capabilities for one reason or another. Short bursts may look nice initially, but stable long-term DPS and consistency are what matter the most. It's a fun extra skill to have, but not something that should be prioritized.

@bleute: If you cast it while standing close enough to the boss that the spear is touching, there is a big dps burst. Also you can aim it diagonally up or down.

@kennyowns: I've found it somewhat useful between nightshade cooldowns for clearing platforms at maps like Eastern Cave Path 2, but can't think of any bossing situations where it would really make a difference, and ultimately it's not game-changing enough that it replaces rush/drive/sweep for mobbing. I see it as nothing more than a linear version of nightshade. Something that's nice to have, but ultimately wouldn't make much of a difference if it didn't exist.

Weapon aura, on the other hand, I've found to be a lot more useful.

@bleute: its an extremely good skill for bossing as it adds one more skill into our rotation when we aren't spamming gungnir

I don't really see it being a useful skill even if it is improved/fixed or whatever. It doesn't really do much to increase exp per hour for training.

You're not alone. Mobs and bosses alike it doesn't seem to hit anything

Lots of others having the same problem, due to server lag. My hero skill do the same.
