Is Archer's "Find Weakness" working properly?

in TERA PC - General Discussion
Since the beginning of this patch im starting to get white damage whenever i use this skill.

My thunderbolt always crits from the back but whenever i use Find Weakness+Thunderbolt and attack from the front, sometimes it does white damages.
I even increase my crit factor to 350(total) in order to see any changes.

It as if the skill itself does absolutely nothing.

    i use it all the time on my archer when farming Ghillieglade and it works fine for me, just make sure you're not hitting the boss with anything else first. For example even using Velik's Mark after you use Find Weakness counts as an attack and Find Weakness won't be on anymore.

    If you attack from the front you have a severely decreased crit chance. There's nothing wrong with you getting white hits from the front. Position better.

    No, they are talking about attacking after the Find Weakness archer skill. When the skill is used, it is supposed to act as if you're attacking from behind the boss for the next attack, which isn't supposed to affect your crit chance.

    I'm aware. You've always had a chance to whitehit from the front, even when using find weakness. It just takes into account backcrit crystals.
  • FurryDestroyer420FurryDestroyer420 ✭✭
    No, it takes into account everything. It acts as if your next attack was hitting from the back. Which means the crit resist when using find weakness is the same as if you were standing at the back, and the archer crit passive works the same when using find weakness as if you were standing at the back.

    Maybe Find Weakness doesn't take into account the Crackshot passive.

    XDDDD position better cause theres totally not moments where you should be using find weakness during mechanics or if you have a bad tank /s

    So many people either don't know the class, or just like to post stupid comments. Anyway, I was thinking the same last night. I see too many whites as well when I use FW + TB. Before this used to be pretty much 100% success. TB's triple chance to crit glyph never failed me, until now.

    maybe it's not FW at fault and just the higher crit resistance of bosses this patch that's throwing you for a loop?

    I don't have much time to play at evening, so I do not do dungeons. I pretty much login and solo BAMs in IoD and do some gathering before I log out. Something is off with FW, hopefully they spend sometime to investigate it and fix it.

    I have seen them not crit them too from front. I don't think that Skill ever made you crit 100%, Archer main skills just always had high chance to crit, over 90%. My Archer with +250 crit factor had always white crits here and there.
