Just tested it. Definately got 3 ticks of damage. Did your mobs die after 2 ticks? that is the only reason why I can see it not showing above the mobs heads. As for combat window, to my understanding, it spawns as an auto hit psuedo pet, so does not show you every tick of damage it does. Kinda like burn doesnt spam your combat window with the eleventy billion individual ticks of damage it does.

Seems kinda odd to have a power that could get ganked by latency issues - would be awesome if they could fix it, but i doubt they would since it seems to effect very few people 
.
I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

I believe that the power still does the same damage, it's just that the red numbers might not show on your screen.

no the problem is not orange numbers not appearing - the combat logs only show 2 tohit rolls most of the time as opposed to 3 tohit rolls.
Meaning I'll hit for 200 most of the time instead of 300 like the power is supposed to do.

The combat logs often miss entries from powers with lots of rolls. Doesn't mean they aren't happening. It's possible RoA isn't doing all three, but combat log and lack of orange numbers really isn't evidence as both have issues.

I'm curious. Is this on a Blaster and did you just hit level 32?
My RoA has been working just fine.

It's not an issue exclusive to RoA. In actuality, it can happen with all pets which work similarly, but in practice, it's most noticeable with RoA because RoA only has three ticks and a maximum duration of 0.8s. You wouldn't even know when Tar Patch, Freezing Rain, OSA or other pet powers of that design "lost" a tick to latency or lag because they're ticking twice as frequently, have significantly longer durations (on both the pet and the effects they apply) and do more than just plonk enemies on the head with orange numbers.|

I have animations get skipped and the orange number also with my Katana/ but the enemies red bar does go down. Not sure if it's on my PC or the ISP or server. Irritating that it's confusing, but I haven't looked into it.
The damage is done, but I don't see the damage happening.
When I use rain of arrows - no matter which AT i use it on, I tend to only see 2 ticks of damage (also confirmed via tohit roll window). I'm not sure if this is some kind of latency issue ( I'm on a wireless connection ), or a server issue ?
