Ethereal Knives Range

Bump.
There's a noticeable difference in projectile travel distance and projectile speed between "Ethereal Knives of Lingering Blades" and normal "Ethereal Knives" or "Ethereal Knives of the Massacre". "Lingering Blades" being the fastest and longest distance.
Normal and "of the Massacre" "Ethereal Knives" do not return even with +244% projectile speed modifier.
Has anyone tested if skill effect duration increases EK's travel distance? EK's gem lost duration tag.
Well, I wait for the official statement from GGG on this.

UPDATE:
I've tested the projectile speed modifier for normal "Ethereal Knives" and projectiles start to return at around +320% increased projectile speed. For +315% they still don't return. At +321% they do return.

However for normal and "of the Massacre" version at +320% proj speed it doesn't fire correctly in the cirlcle. Instead it fires in 4 different cones, in different directions (almost like volley support in front and back of you, and multiple projectiles support in 2 sides of you - see the image).

EDIT2: To the above: My mistake, because I haven't noticed my wand has a "Soceted Gems are Supported by Level 16 Volley". It fires correctly in a circle


I'll try to record some footage of returning projectiles if I manage to find a working app to do so.

Anyway, I still think it's bugged.

UPDATE2:
Recorded some footage with all EK versions and the threshold for returning seems to be around 250% projectile speed.

As this is pretty much the majority of this thread is people just saying "bump" or whining that the thing is broken without articulating it, and this quoted post is the best summary of it with data and a video - I implore you, if you're going to just bump the thread, quote this post as well so GGG has actual data to go off of, because if you think they're going to go over 20 pages of "WTF GGG IS WRONG WITH YOU" you're wrong.


Otherwise the post that HAS value will get buried in a sea of "bump" and GGG will ignore *everything*. Imagine how sick it would be to have GGG Devs look at the thread and see ONLY the relevant posts being spammed, rather than nonvaluable 'bump'?


Quote. The. Post.
