I have problem with Etheral Knives myself. Knives, as one of the rare ranged attack actions which do not require a bow, and, without any sign of magic origin should be considered as skill, not spell, and affected by attack speed not casting speed, apply skill on-hit effects, and could even use dagger prof as syenergy (with proper balance)

It is a SPELL that does PHYSICAL damage. Just like fireball is a spell that does FIRE damage. Why can't people understand this. Is it because it is doing physical damage that it cannot be a spell?

Just wait for a dagger skill attack which i suppose ggg will implement later.

Everybody, including me, consider Etheral Knives as dagger skill attack that "ggg will implement later". It really do not look like a spell (it is not a "poof i create fireball", you can check the animation - your char actually throws them) and physical damage is like saying aloud "this is a skill"

Everybody? my god you speak for everyone now? Anyway now tell me why a spell must do only elemental damage? Why the can't a spell do physical damage. Now lets just assume a mage in whatever game cast a spell that conjures a big cube of metal on the head of the monsters, will you say that this is an attack skill?

Then ask for a better animation for the Ethereal Knives in the animations subforum if you think it is not done perfectly. From my point of view what i think is he is conjuring the knives in a throwing motion they grow bigger while traveling (just my point of view though).

RTFM

Spoiler

Read The Following Manual

1) Check related Wiki or other knowledge base (you know there is Skill Feedback section, do you?)
2) If something is still unclear (which I doubt) go to Mechanics/FAQ thread to ask some questions.
3) If nothing above works you are free to complain now. Not earlier.

Stop that. Seriously. Your opinion is just yours.

Again, there is a Skill Feedback section, search for EK thread and read at least 10 pages.

I may be sound harsh, but guys, if you are complaining about something, you need to manually and thoroughly study it.
