The minimum range of the WLs BL is too high?

I just played a game, my Wraithlord was kited by a Fireprism, and he was in meleecharge. During that he didn't shoot his Brigthlance. Now this seems like exactly the Situation where the Brightlance should shine, chasing.

I know it was implemented so that he wouldn't use it WHILE smacking something in melee, but maybe we can change the minimumrange a bit, so that he still shoots while chasing?

Thanks!^^

On that note, there seems to be a bug with the Rangers kinetic pulse, where it doesn't go on cooldown. The Ranger thing I noticed quite often, I thought maybe when they lose a model or something, but here they don't.

Both of these can be observed in this replay where I get destroyed by Tex :D
The WL thing happens right at the end, the Ranger one when they engage the Warlock at the right of the top vp. They first knock the warlock down, and 10 secs later I use kinetic pulse again against the Guardians.

Yeah I was very curious why my fire prism didn't die in 2 seconds, and I definitely noticed when you 2x kinetic pulsed me in that engagement... I must admit I was slightly irked lol.

The WL never uses its ranged weapon when charging. It has nothing to do with the brightlance, I suppose it is because of the animation that makes him bend over: Relic devs likely thought that fotm would be wierd-looking. I might be wrong about that though.

For the kinetic pulse bug: did you command it while out of range, then moved your rangers as they shot?

Asmon is correct about the WL charge and non-weapon use. When it bends forward and is charging it won't shoot - it only shoots when it has its back more upright and is slowly striding forward.

"Slightly irked" is "really fucking mad" in Canadian. That only happens when they lose a hockey game or when Quebec tries to break away. Trust me I know this, I've had maple syrup once and I'm currently sporting a beard.

On a more serious note, down with FP, please? :P

Hm, strange. I was pretty sure I saw the Wraithlord shooting while charging before.... especially with the Shurikenupgrade. But maybe thats not true, and we just had a long charge here because they moved with the same speed. Well, I have to say it feels strange for the BL NOT to fire while charging.

For the Kinetic pulse Asmon, I don't think so, the ranger were well in range and standing still.
