No Grim Focus Fix

This skill is still broken. It's been broken since the 3rd (give or take) week of the PTS and now it's week two of live with no fix to it at all. This skill is a core mechanic to night blades and being able to use it reliably is extremely important to the class in PvP and PvE. Can we get a comment from Developers about this please? I'd like to buy an extra outfit slot or something nice, but until this gets fixed I'm having a hard time justifying spending more. Anyone else have anything to add? Perhaps data that would help them fix the skill?
I am grateful for fixing shade though, well done

✭I'm using Relentless Focus morph on my stamblade and have been doing post-maintenance testing on overland mobs and my test dummy, and can't find anything wrong so far. It's proc'ing as intended , I'm getting the Berserker buff, damage dealt seems right. Is it the other morph that's not working correctly still?PC-NA since 2015. Tired and unimpressed.1 -

You haven't noticed the incredible delay in when you gain your charge? I find that a little hard to believe but I guess you are in melee rangeEdited by NyassaV on February 19, 2018 4:55PMFlawless Conqueror ~ Grand OverlordShe/Her ~ PC/NA | I record things for fun and for info0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The delay is nearly non existent for melee or if you're close to the target. The problem is your charge is counted when the attack hits the enemy, not when you use the attack - so for staves using light or heavy attacks at long range there's a huge delay before you get your chargePS4 / NA

What about saying what the problem is with it?1 -
Datthaw✭✭✭✭✭
✭There is a delay but they changed it from when you cast a light attack to proc, to when the light attack hits to proc. This is why melee doesn't notice a thing but ranged magblades feel extra clunky
It is however bugged in vma it resets between waves because you were "out of combat" for half a second. I feel like I have also experienced this in pvp when cloaking around with a stack up in around fight.1 -

✭I managed to save my stack of grim focus in vma on most 'in between' fight times by casting aoe where a portal will spawn a mob. Kept me in combat bcs aoe will hit before I can hit with a direct attack.Moons and sands shall be your guide and path.

very nice! thank you!!
could you pls also comment if the change to grim focus stack counting (that it counts to the stack AFTER the ranged attack hits the enemy, NOT ANYMORE right when the shot gets fired from the staff) is intentional, or also bugged?1 -

Of course. This fix makes it so you get the stacks from the ability as soon as you light attack, instead of after the light attack deals damage.17 -

Um I have already made a post about it (Dungeons, Trials and Arenas), but I will mention it here as well. In Maelstrom Arena, every time white portals spawn, you are technically exiting combat, and since you now lose your stacks when exiting combat, you will thus lose all your stacks and your bow proc if you have that ready. This is happening with both morphs of grim focus. Will that be addresed in the next incremental? Thanks.Maelstrom Arena - World's First Nightblade 600k Score - 02/18/20171 -

Incremental means Monday (or maybe any random patch day Monday). Major update would be update 18.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord1 -

I really do hope building the stack requires a valid target.
