Charged Strike Bugged?

Has anyone else noticed that when using Charged Strike, it pretty much does nothing but miss? It releases the charged bolts like it’s supposed to, but it looks like the actual physical ‘hit’ portion of it never lands (you can see this if you enable the thing that shows the white ‘x’ when you miss).

Was it like this in the original?

Maybe you have not enough dex or ar? Then the phys. Part will miss. It’s not bugged.
Ar is a problem for melee chars anyway without proper equipment

Charged Strike displays no AR, so I guess I assumed it didn’t use it?
