I circle around an enemy very closely, channelling Focus with Mana Guide. 6-7 out of 10 times Lightning Blast will target the enemy but 3-4 times it just target random location, hitting the ground, even though my character and my cursor are so close to the enemy.
Is this a bug or not?
I’ve noticed similar behavior with the Volatile Zombie node Effigy of Combustion, which will “cast an Infernal Shade on an enemy near the Zombie”. If you use the Hellfire node in Infernal Shade it becomes more apparent as the auto-attaching logic of Infernal Shade isn’t present to save the cast. The Zombies will drop Infernal Shade in random locations, often in empty space nowhere near enemy targets let alone a target near the Zombie. Usually when something is consistent across multiple skills/effects it would suggest something not being a bug, but perhaps in this case the bug is some lower level program logic.
Edit: I’ve also noticed this behavior with skill shrines, too, now that I think about it.
