I realise that was an old comment, but FYI for new Strider Arisens, this skill is awesome. Yes, the range appears to be fixed so you need to get used to the firing arc of the dart, and it is also stopped by ceilings so it's useless indoors. However, it inflicts heavy damage in a med-sized aoe, plus high stagger. Getting caught even at the tip of one blast alone will knock any flying dragonkin out of the sky. Additionally, it sets the targets on fire, if they're even still alive to appreciate the fact.

It has an annoying wind-up casting animation and you will need to get used to the range, which often feels a little too close considering the casting time, but once you get the hang of it - especially manual detonation timing - it'll be one of those skills you can't do without.
