Bugs[]

  • If you upgrade Pinning Shot with Disorienting Shot, the Disoriented status is only inflicted if the target is pinned. (Fixed in patch 1.03; target is now always Disoriented, even if they resist the pinning effect.)
  • Any damage inflicted after the target is pinned/Disoriented removes the pinned/Disoriented status. This includes damage from bleeding, elemental runes, and damage-over-time effects such as Deathroot Toxin and Despair. (Fixed in patch 1.03; target remains pinned/Disoriented for the appropriate duration regardless of damage.)
  • After Patch 1.03, Pinning Shot now works as intended. This makes it a great source for Disorient cross-class combos.
