[Beta 9] Channel Staff bug?

[Feanor.81]

Hitting a Poison Ivy from long distance using Channel Staff results in the character being poisoned by the ivy in response, like it was a melee attack:

Ahah yes !
Staves attacks are melee bu projected to a distance. Let's say it's "magic" ?

[Feanor.81]

Oh I see, so I should imagine my character swinging the staff in the air, having its end "phase door" and hit the mob, rather than pointing the staff to the target and firing a bolt (this would be congruent with the fact that the Channel Staff speed is instantaneous).

Then, it's okay it (almost) always hits, but how can it completely ignore armor?

[darkgod]

Because .. hum . it's a magic attack that teleport your blow just behind the armor !

[Feanor.81]

Then I could argue it should not affect natural or magic armors (e.g. stone skin), but ok, got it

[darkgod]

True
Well let's just say gameplay wins over realism there
