This isn't a bug. This happens because EK, like several other skills, uses a "life time" before it disappears. With enough projectile speed investment, your projectiles will start returning.

For a projectile to return, it must do one of the following:

* Impact an obstacle, such as a terrain object or an enemy that doesn't get pierced/chained/forked/split

* Reach the limit of projectile distance traveled starting from it's origin point

Since "expiring" isn't one of those things, your projectiles will not return.
This occurs with Ethereal Knives, Freezing Pulse, Spark, and Ball Lightning.

As far as if this SHOULD be the case, I don't think so. But this is the implemented projectile mechanics and it is consistent, so it is working as intended.


but EK of Lingering Blades doesnt need to hit obstacle nor reach the limit of projectile distance for it to return

the proj returned without "enough proj speed investment"


Yes,it does. It hit the ground to 'linger' blades then returns. And on the way returning, the projectiles will also be blocked by obstacles, even low obstacles like edge of stone pavement. There are testing videos on Youtube title 'EK is dead' sth.


yeah probably the returned proj is a bug and they fixed it
hmmm not too sure
Bump for clarity from GGG

Once again: It does not matter what you think should be the case or not. We are just asking for an official statement regarding something that needs clarification, not some speculation from a random player.
GGG !
We are waiting for an answer, why are you ignoring?
Need an answer here.

How many threads and how many pages does this need to be until it gets addressed?
not playing affliction until GGG clarifies the EK return proj situation
