when you db a monster they always go a certain distance and then the monster always 'jumps' back closer to you.. once the DB hits them they go into their KB stance until the DB arrow is done pushing them and then they like.. come back towards you..like this:
[Me]---------->[X] ~~while shooting
[Me]----------[X] ~~after DB animation is gone.
jumps too strong of a word.. more like pulled towards you. they do this with hawk stunning them anyways.. im a BM so i dont really know if they do it if they're frozen from blizzard..
But that little difference in distance between the 'while shooting' and 'after shooting' is just enough to put it out of range for my SoA. I tried my best to activate SoA right away after DB.. and I got it a few times and it 'appeared' (not going to say it like I'm 100% right), but it 'appeared' the arrows didn't reach it. Or the tips reached the monster but did not do any damage to it.
But eh.. I just play the game x]] No mathematics for me.

So, DB pushes monsters past the end of your range, but sucks them back? O.o
That'd destroy my theory. =D

Uh. Isn't that because the monster is typically a little farther back during its KB frame than its idle frame?

Thats what I mean.. it's further away during it's KB stance, but then when it returns to it's normal stance, it's closer :f6:

So, DB pushes it to the end of our range, any further and we can't attack monsters. Bowman range is 440 pixels. =P

Last time I remember spamming DB it always hits the enemy regardless of if it's immobile (stunned or frozen) or whatever. So I surmise that DB pushes enemies to the last pixel WITHIN your range.
