i cast needlestorm in a boss encounter of onslaught, like you do, and instead of hitting the boss, who was closest and centered in my crosshairs, not a single needle hit it - they went mostly into the two white-shielded minibosses to either side and behind him, and a few went into a minor captain to my far right.
i've had other supers mostly hit dregs that were close to medium range from the boss but on my screen, i've had the needles bypass the boss in point-blank range and go after minors and majors further away, and i just have to ask what the [i]actual[/i] -blam!-? it is already so punishing to main warlock for dps, could you maybe knock whatever this is off? thanks.

The super you're looking for is Nova Bomb haha.

GONZO - old
I’ve said the same thing before. They don’t seem interested in fixing it. The projectiles seem to have a mind of their own, regardless of where you aim. -
It’s the worst. Nothing feels as bad as missing every single strand missing the GIANT FKN BRIG.

Edited by STiNKyWizLTeaTs: 4/25/2024 2:29:56 AMI literally saw this happen in Onslaught today at a boss room. There are a few trash cans on the right and left and the boss in the middle. Guy pops and not one needle hit the boss. His character stood motionless for about 10 seconds after. I know that guy just punched a hole in his wall. 🤣🤣🤣

Mine targets walls and out of bounds areas before actually targeting ennemies so...
-
I think that there should be a way to mark a target for Needlestorm. Something like. Hitting a major or boss with an arcane needle marks them for 5 seconds and all Needlestorm projectiles will track them.
-
Huh. Never thought about the targeting priority on it tbh. Onslaught boss encounters are the perfect test ground though. Wonder if it prioritizes kills instead of specific enemy ranks.
-
Blade barrage feels seen.
-
Yeah, they need to change it like they did BB and slowva. Priority on bosses.

Edited by Taejzon23: 4/25/2024 7:16:40 AMDoes this... surprise you? Lol Almost feels.... intentional. They already hated on us for burning through bosses. I wouldn't be surprised.
-
It could be a great super but for this. It should go where you point it imo.
-
My Warlock has experienced this, too! It’s really not good for a strand super to be such a consistent letdown.❌ Which is why I normally run a Well + Sunbracers or a nova bomb…both work extremely well; and my teammates love my sol W. Me, too! ✅✅ Ease springs! 🫡 Club 49er

Indeedy. That’s why I do a little AoE before I shoot my shot. It ain’t that deep with minors, needlestorm. C’mon

Edited by LikwiD_SmOkE22: 4/24/2024 2:58:49 PMA fellow guardian said this to me once.. There are two broodweavers in all of us. One where every single needle hits & nukes the boss. The other, where every needle b-lines it for the one little dreg thrall or shank hanging out in the back of the room instead of hitting what you have on target.
-
It's how all these supers that track to enemies are programmed. They don't track the target the crosshair is on. They target the closest enemy to them.
-
They might design an exotic to tighten the spread of needlestorm. We currently don't have an exotic that specializes around that super. Time will tell.
-
Definitely needs prioritization for bosses over smaller enemies. Can't tell you how many times when playing Warlock, they just have a mind of their own and not where I intended them to go.
-
Seems a lot of thrown supers have this issue. I'm a Titan, so I don't really have any experience with this, but with what people are saying... Best seems to be, either clear out the little guys, or aim at the floor and take the splash damage over the full blast.
-
It’s targeting is a joke. Needlestorm might be the best one and done Super Warlocks have but that would be the case 40% of the time. 60% of the time, the damage from it is wasted so might as well forget about it. But it also shows why Warlocks are more used for Well.
-
Try and clear all the trash adds before using is the only way to guarantee where it goes.Nova bomb has the same issue of heading to anything but what you aim it at.
-
Thats how it iz designed. Blade barrage has the same problem.
