Ethereal Knives Range

@everyone freaking out about this

Use EK of Lingering Blades. This gem is working as intended.

its day3, will there be a fix or it is working as intended? why is an underused skill gutted for no reason.

So at this point I’m assuming it’s working as entended?

They nerfed the base gem to shit and you either wasted you league start or have to buy/farm the trans version to work as normal?

What's more jarring is the absolute lack of response from GGG on the state of the base gem.

There's obviously an error or bug with the gem as returning projectile interaction is messed up and the gem actually worked when used with the Sawblade MTX.

Instead of fixing the underlying issue, GGG just "broke" the Sawblade MTX as well so it's also messed up.

Apparently someone tested in standard with Nimis and the base EK gem does not work with Nimis - which should show that it is indeed a bug with the gem.

PLEASE FIX THIS GGG.

Yeah, it's super unfortunate that the skill is clearly bugged given the other trans variation of the skill does indeed work with returning projectiles. It really does completely neuter the skill, but worse off, players that haven't actually noticed the lack of returning animation are sitting there struggling and getting frustrated with their maps.

Rough start but it happens - I do just wish we had a little more information on the status of this so we know if we need to pivot our builds.

So I guess we really getting the silent treatment huh?

Day 3 and no news on this. Look at the amount of players this issue is affecting and it's just radio silence.

The gem got gutted, it's dead. I respecced.

This is still irrelevant until we have confirmation that the skill should not be returning projectiles, because at the moment it is not returning projectiles, which leads everyone to believe the skill is bugged.

There are two aspects to this:

1. The projectile is very limited in range, this could be due to the removal of 40% projectile speed which was done on purpose if that is the case, then the spell has essentially become a low damage melee spell as it has no range as it stands, even with stacking projectile speed.

2. The projectiles are not returning as they should and do on other versions of this skill (see trans gems)

I don't want to give the sentiment to developers when someone reads the above quoted message that this is just people displeased with the skill, if the range has been nerfed, sure, that's displeasing and the skill may be 'dead' but the *actual* issue here is it is completely bugged from a damage property perspective.
