Reaper - Sundering Strike Hitbox(and other similar hitboxes)

in PvE Discussion
I have only somewhat recently picked up Reaper, and it's pretty fun. However, I am not really sure on how its hitboxes work at certain ranges.

As the title suggest, my main confusion is with Sundering Strike. Where exactly should this land to perform a "Back Crit"? Can it get a "Back Crit" from the mob facing me and I manage to dump the hitbox behind it?

I tried researching this but was not satisfied with anything I was able to dig up regarding it. This question might as well apply to most of Reaper's skills too since they all seem to have quite a large hitbox and little to no minimum distance.

Fireblast, Hailstorm, Rain of Arrows, and Arcane Barrage(it can be detonated behind a forward facing opponent) are pretty similar to Sundering Strike too. Do they share the same properties?

    Hey o/

    All the spells hitboxes work the same exept for Arcane barrage, it depends of your position. If your in front of the boss and land a hit, it will count as front hit even if it lands behind. Arcane barrage can be detonate behind the boss even from the front. But for exemple Rain of Arrows or Hailstrom depends on your positioning. So you should focus on staying on the boss back as much as possible. For Sunder strike, even if you land the hit from behind, the second blast will still depends on your position, and you should take it in consideration ,can hit hard.

    Last time I played Sorcerer was when sorcerer was a 'melee dps' (and I guess some people can argue it still is). When I used fireblast, it only 'back crit' if I was behind the boss, and facing towards it, no mater where i hit it, even if it looks like it hit from the front. That goes the same for Nova, Rain of Arrows, Hailstorm, Bladestorm, some other AoEs...and Sundering Strike.

    tl;dr It doesn't matter as long as you are behind the boss and facing it.

    All right. So what I gather from your two responses is that they behave like any other skills for the most part(outside Arcane Barrage and potentially the second hit on Sundering Strike).

    If that is the case then I think that's a sufficient explanation. Thanks a bunch!
