Range of Dark Impale?

Quick question. Can Dark Impale hit bird statues from safe spot at PB? If not, can Soul Driver do it?

As a DB, I can hit them with Vampire, but I must jump cast to reach them, and it is just too slow when solo. Would be nifty if my DrK wife could help out with that.

it always could, even before the upgrade it received now, but you had to be very careful.

now, it's a lot easier to hit with it.

soul driver doesn't reach i think, but i never bothered trying it, so i can't say.

EDIT: oh, forgot to say, you have to jumpcast impale.

also, on ariel, you can spam SD from the platforms above, or jumpcast impale from the platform below. dunno which ends up better damage, but after the last patch i'd say impale 100%.

and crash is always nice to have.
