Glinstone Kris question

[Caboose]

hi people,
just curious, i am playing with my daughter lately, and she roleplay as ranni. As a secondary weapon we picked up the crystal sword, but now we're at altus plateau, and this thing is lame as hell.

so i load my endgame character and check what could be a good option. there are the usual suspect, moonveil, rogier's rapier, nox weaponwery. But suddenly she see the Kris and tell me she want this, ok it's a magic scaling, the requirements are low which fit her character. Her best weapon being +6 somberstone i upgrade it to +6 and drop it.

What the heck is wrong with that thing, the weapon art deal 500 damage just with the ranged attack, with the following trust, it deal up to 1000 on armored knights. Was it always like this, or did they buffed it into madness with the latest patch?

Yep, it's always been a mage's pocket nuke. Currently using it right now and it eliminates my need for any ranged sorceries.

EDIT: To be fair, I'm not a pure mage (still using primarily melee weapons).

Patch history from fextralife:
Patch 1.06, the range of Glintstone Dart has been increased, but the damage and stager power have been decreased.

This Skill was changed with Patch 1.07 as follows:

Range, speed and attack power of magic attacks has been increased.
Magic attacks now penetrate enemies when not charged.

Glintstone Pebble has always been a pretty solid Ash of War, the followup thrust attack is pretty nuts while the shot itself was solid at poise-breaking. It was sometimes preferred over the Kris on virtue of being a dagger, but the Kris' Glintstone Dart is Pebble on crack. Since v1.10 buffed dagger range and speed, even outside the weapon art, it's a really solid weapon.

The Kris is so efficient at this point that it's likely an optimal option than most combat sorceries, prioritize more on buffs and utility spells like Terra Magica.

The de facto spellsword weapon.

The projectile also can charge up which can make 1hit builds in PvP - very funny to mess around with.
