Fire Avalanche Not Hitting 9 times.

in PvE Discussion
Are you working on a fix for this? Please give me a reason not to stop playing this game, cause at the moment I have none.
After learning SSHM with 200 ping and 10-15 fps, (seriously just try doing cage with this fps, it was such a pain to learn) I finally figured out why my damage is so low for both second and third bosses.
My FA only hits 7 times. That makes me fail shields, the Burn 15% part is horrible as I won't be able to rely on the most powerful skill in the game.........
I can handle Burning Heart not being as friendly for a high ping user but this is too much, does anyone have a trick for this... Anything???

    I researched it some, I know what a desync is but I didn't see any tips for it not to happen unless "don't play ninja"

    The way I see it it's been an issue for a long time now, I'm just really upset...

    the rest of us deal with the same desynch issue and arent complaining.. my FA usually only does 1-2 hit per strike and even then it always= more than 25mill.. ninja is top dps (with exception of broken brawlers) so quit qqing.. try playing one of the 8 other dps classes and then complain about your ninja dmg..

    There's sort of a work around with this, but it won't allow you to hit it 100% of the time, just more often.

    Back up from the boss maybe 3-5m and point your camera facing at the bosses feet or lower back; your aim is to hit the edge of the hitbox. For imperator as example, point your camera at his ankles. Repeat for the 3 parts of avalanche.

    It's a lot easier to hit avalanche on bosses with huge hitboxes like queen and the beetle boss in DSU but for 'smaller' bosses like imperator you have to do that.

    Do you mean 25mill in total from your entire avalanche? Because that is really low. A +15 VM7 ninja averages 15-26m on the final hit of avalanche alone on an enraged boss with debuffs. Unless you're only doing dungeons without burn phases like crappy DFNM or DSL, hitting the entire FA actually does matter.

    I think I did 7 mil in one FA. If yours desync and hits by that much then you get the last hit which I don't.

    Thank you so much, I'll try that in SSNM to see if I can manage.

    For Burn that damage is crucial, and I'm only in Slaughter which makes things even harder with all the mobs at SSH.

    FA has more than one issue, and isn't the only ability Ninja has that doesn't work at times, and neither of these issues are related to high ping. I originally played with 40 ping up until I moved (now play with 120~200 on wireless) and even with 40 ping I still had hits missing or even completely losing the ability to use it a 3rd time. There's also the case of it not even going on cool down at all even after using it. Unfortunately there are other factors beyond just ping, your fps can impact the ability negatively, pressing the key too much or too fast, and positioning vs size of what you're trying to hit are some things.

    You can't lose the third hit unless it times out. You have First cast -> 10 seconds to use second cast -> Second cast -> 5 seconds to use third cast -> Third cast.

    But yeah a combination of high ping, low FPS, and/or too much attack speed does cause the skill to desync, but that happens to every class (Lancers going through bosses with Onslaught for example).

    Yes you can lose it, considering it has happened to me on multiple occasions. Just because it's not intended to happen doesn't mean it won't. Ninja is full of issues with FA and Smoke Bomb also has it's own set of glitches as well. Even Brawler has glitches and unintended things happening which still aren't fixed, so don't be surprised if the next class has similar issues.
