Umbral Blades + Sword Thrower + Precision Cuts results in unexpected throw location

That post shows how Umbral Blades with Sword Thrower and Precision Cuts results in an unexpected throw location.

It is now Jan’ 25 and the bug is still occurring. There was a reply to this saying that there was a team tracking this issue. It isn’t a big one, but I would expect a minor bug like this to be fixed sooner than 2 years…

I would like to add to the original bug report by saying that if someone takes this combination, and moves the blades slowly out from the character, the disparity between mouse coursor location and blade spawn location grows with distance from the character. I’m not sure, but something is causing a growing disparity between the targetting location and the mouse with distance from the player location.

Just specced into it, and the same is happening. Blades don’t stop where I target.

I also have Sword Thrower and Cacophony of Steel.

Very old bug… not going to be fixed?

Same here. It might have something to do with the width of my monitor–5120x1440, since it seemed to do it less when I changed resolution. It seemed to happen less, but definitely was still happening.

Can confirm. This is still an issue as of 48 hours ago (9 April, 2025 as of time of writing) and has been since late 2024.

i just started playing the game and the skill worked exactly as intended with cacophony of steel specced, up until about level 36 when it randomly started just flying to the end of my screen. i was having so much fun playing the skill too, but the inability to target the bladestorms really kills the entire build for me. has this really been an issue for this long? really hoping they fix it with the new patch, i was really enjoying the build and this bug kinda just eradicated my excitement for the new season

Playing with the Umbral Blades + Aerial Assault build… and my god, half the time the blades just fly offscreen even though my cursor is in the middle of the screen.
This makes it the build literally unplayable, very sad.

EHG, please! :frowning:
