Gnomish death ray appears to be quite bugged on here... at least that is my perception. It works... sometimes.
Yet you can see videos of it critting all over the place, I have been unable to make it crit a single time in over 50 uses if not many more.
90% of them time it deals 20-200 damage which seems way too low even when it hits for its lowerend damage as I read it's low numbers are more within the 500-900 range.
Sometimes the full channel goes trough and nothing at all happens. No message in the combat log, no interrupt, no absorb. Just nothing at all happens.
And sometimes this happens:

Where as this does also seem way too random and too much. No zerker involved, no recklessness and other things that' affect it. Note this is a noncrit, I have not seen any video of a death ray doing noncrits in this range. Shatter talent is also not working on death ray which further leads me to believe it's not able to crit as shatter works on all other spells even spells from weapon proccs, oils and other things.
