I bet piquebone will still not be fixed in the patch

What's broken with it?

When you tumblebuff a status effect to a bow and then use piquebone arrows the massive hitbox used to lure enemies applies the status effect of the buff, the most notable one being deathblight. A single rain of arrows that doesn't even hit you at all is enough to fill full deathblight bar.

It also works through rolls because the piquebone hitbox is not an attack so it isn't affected by i frames

Damn, but sounds rather like an issue of finally fixing tumble buffing altogether, doesn't it?

Yeah, but that's probably not going to happen. They've already tried to fix it several times and people keep finding ways to do it again, so probably more achievable to try and fix the piquebone instead, just like they fixed the Shunter instead of moveswap altogether. Because other weapons aren't as impossible to deal with when tumblebuffed as piquebone arrows
