Problem with Tempest Skill

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the Tempest skill stops doing damage after a certain point. At first when you use the skill it works normally, but when the animation gets to its largest size, even though its showing the numbers that you WOULD be doing, the lifebar of whatever im fighting stops moving (not actually processing the damage im doing). My phantom isnt that strong (unfunded lv 153... for now ) but I can at least kill the mobs in RnJ in 1 hit but with Tempest it doesn't do anything.

Havent seen anyone else post about this so maybe its just me. In that case...

You can keybind it and switch back and forth

@masterobert I didn't know it dced Phantoms. Was this when Phantoms had Auto/manual mode for judgment draw? I probably heard about the no damage part after they fixed the dc problem. I didn't play my phantom anymore so I didn't know about it.

The dc part happened to Jetts too.

@likey95 Because you accidentally used the skill twice in a row unintentionally. This happened when you moved a little bit or you thought you didn't press the skill and press it again quickly. The skill already went into cooldown but you still see the animation but you don't deal any damage however you do make the mobs mad at you.

Go test it in-game, it's easily triggered. Any jobs with a 'hold down' skill with cooldowns have this no damage issue. While most of them didn't have dc issues when triggered except Phantom when they got auto draw mode (but they didn't have dc issue at release) and revamped Jett had this issue (not sure if this is fixed).

[quote=Masterobert]The cause of the problem is Phantom's Judgment Draw auto mode. When using Tempest and activating Judgment Draw automatically, you will not do damage. I suggest turning it to manual mode before using Tempest. This problem came after they fixed a disconnecting issue, where instead of not doing damage you would have disconnected from the game. I suppose this is Nexons lazy fix.[/quote]

Exactly this. Auto mode Judgement Draw's card-release will override the damage-over-time done by Tempest. In order to use it, you must put switch to manual mode.

Maybe Tempest was setting off Judgment too quickly and lag the player? (Just like if you have a pet with auto loot walk past a pile of lootable items)

You have to move after every 100 attacks. This has been a thing for the longest time

Might just be lag? I've heard of issues with tempest before, though.
