Reave missing targets/not causing damage (not desync)

I've been having this problem with reave for quite some time, but before I thought it was due to desync. Now I'm reasonably convinced desync has nothing to do with it.

I can sit there blasting mobs down with 8 stacks (hitting most of the screen) of aoe on mobs that are mostly stationary (zombies, skeletons, etc) and I'll see all kinds of stuff. In some cases I'll see some mobs flinch from the hit and take no damage, other mobs flinch and lose health, and other mobs ignore the situation altogether. This will occur in very odd proportions for an attack where I have 90% chance to hit, in ways where evasion and desync couldn't possibly account for the amount of misses. These are slow moving mobs that don't usually evade attacks and are in the direct center of my aoe cone at medium range, avoiding upwards of 50% of hits.

It's difficult for me to prove any of this since the game DOES have desync and evasion, but I've used other aoe and other melee skills on the mobs and never seen these results, even with characters that have much lower chance to hit.

EDIT: I'm going to start doing math with this ability and record some footage.

Same exact thing happens to me. Sometimes you see the reave hitting and the monsters getting stunned but not taking any damage.

Yeah i have noticed it must have some weird miss bug as well.

Best way to find it out is when you have allies cannot die totem in a map, and you hit it when there is a huge pack next to it, you won't be able to hit the totem no matter what angle you try.

You're sure you've located the problem but I'm still having this issue even now, two months later. I'm having weird issues similar to the OP in which my Reave will be hitting the target, they even get stunned by the damage, and the rainbow-ish animation plays as if they're hit, but they don't take damage. It's very easy to see that they take no damage because they don't even have a health bar over their head when it does this to full health targets. This happens in every fight very often so I'm certain that my miss chance can't possibly be accounting for all of this.

I didn't certainly expect it, but I expected at least another word might be spoken on it in two months time. The GGG post above was written prior to release. We're almost at the first content patch since release and still not even a word.

I just want confirmation that this hasn't been lost in the mess.

No problem, no negativity was implied.

I'm getting this all the time :S I just switched over from my ranger to my reave shadow and it just made me depressed. It feels like half the time I am hitting thin air. Perhaps it's a sync issue :-\
