Issue Description:
Early last year, the hitbox of the Rapier’s charged attacks was changed; it now hinders scoring headshots on enemies up close, while weapons like the Billhook do not. The change reduced the Rapier’s skill ceiling as it decreased the number of contexts in which the charged attack would headshot.
The video below shows the hitbox of the Rapier’s charged attack. The video shows:
- The hitbox of the Rapier’s charged attack from 00:00 to 00:10 and its failing to score a headshot on a Bile Troll close up from 00:27 to 00:36.
- The hitbox of the Billhook’s attacks from 01:34 to 01:55 and its succeeding to score a headshot on a Bile Troll close up from 02:17 to 02:27.
I chose a Bile Troll to show this, but the change also made scoring headshots on many enemies more difficult. Trying to score a headshot on a Stormfiend and a Chaos Warrior will show this.
Steps to Reproduce:
During a Bile Troll’s regeneration phase, stand close to and in front of the Bile Troll and try to headshot the Bile Troll with the Rapier’s charged attacks.
