give the grim focus buff to everything

NB's spell grim focus give the stack when the attack is launched, instead of when it hits the target.
how about applying this mechanic to many spells that could greatly use a change like this

flurry - the first hit to deal the 3x damage.
jabs - the first hit to slow
bow passive "hawk eye" - the first hit to grant a stack

not more spells in mind right now, but this could be useful for them as those 3 mentioned are core spells for the build

I think you are looking at grim focus wrong, you get the bow proc after 5 light attacks, just like you get the 300% damage on flurry after the four hits or the jabs slow or that bow damage increase. I think you are just thinking about how the stack doesn't disappear when you recast the ablity. Completely different then the other ablitys that you mentioned.

No, they did this change once and then reverted it cause it feels horrible to play like this.

Rewarding players to hit the first hit out of a series is not that great imo
A reward when able to finish the skill, which players can dodge, makes much more sense.

at bow you make up to 5 stacks, and you get one stack when the arrow hit the target. I wanted to make the stack be granted after launching the attack, just like grim focus works now. Not talking about stacks not disappearing, that's a class specific, but at bow you sometimes lose the stacks because the arrow was in air, and the stack would be given when u launch the attack

I kind of want the stacking part of it to be a while slotted bonus with a penalty if you haven't made a light or heavy attack 10 seconds from the last one then the stacks drop that way you're not holding onto them forever. That might make it more manageable but may also make the spectral bow portion of it a little too powerful. The way it is now though I feel like I'm desperately trying to spam them in time to take advantage of the bonus proc effect.
