Quick Throw Mechanics - Do I Have This Right
I just started to use quick throw and I just wanted to make sure I understand how it is suppose to work.

When it says Applies Poison Every 20 Seconds that should mean that the first throw will always apply poison and then the next throw after a 20 second delay would apply poison again.

So I play for a while, make a throw that applies poison, wait 21 seconds and throw again to apply poison again. Is this right.

I ask because I never get the effect to perk on my first throw, and even if I make a throw and wait for some time, and make another throw it still will not perk.

Is there a known bug with Quick Throw or do I just not understand how it works. Thanks!

Yes, the way you described it, first throw will apply poison. Second throw (after 20 secs) will apply poison. (Unless! the target is Immune to Poison).

The only other thing I can think of is are you sure you unlocked the ability on the weapon that says "Applies Poison Every 20 Seconds"? Like completed the challenge to allow that effect?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I do the challenges right away on any item that I want to keep.

I'll have to try some more and give it a real work out to see if I can notice anything. I was focusing on the poison but I have to try the other elements too.

Since it wasn't happening I started doubting that I knew how it even worked. I thought maybe there is some trick I was missing, but I guess not.

Just to update this incase someone in the future searches and finds this.

I was able to finally get this to work. After trying many different elements and having them not perk at all, finally it started to work. Now it does work like it is suppose to.

I had a similar issue with one of the community challenges where the kills were not registering. After continually working it, it all of a sudden started to work and then worked fine after that. The same issue may be with this quick throw.

Perhaps there is some issue baked into the mechanics that for some people it will take a few trys before the script clicks.

So if you find this thread because you are experiencing the same thing, keep trying to make it work and you may find that all of sudden it will start working fine. Good luck.

u right for future ref. ,
but i still dont get what do you mean by finally work.

is it seconds CD,
but the first always give effect ?
first throw or first enemy got hit ?

if it stick to first throw if enemy immune with the effect then the throw wasted.

but if it stick to the target,
the target after got frost wont got frost again after the secs CD ?

or if it it the target,
the target will got forst every x secs ?

IMO the problem with the explanation/hint box (the game),
it is not stating clear which is which...
