Bug Description :

Ice bolt (cryomancer) and energy bolt (wizard) can charge up partway and release early if you go beyond level 1, for a faster cast. however it will randomly stop being possible to do this, and the only way to cast the spell will be to fully charge it. this negative effect will last well over 30minutes, until a map change. this is debilitating in party or dungeon situations, or any time it is inconvenient or impossible to change channels. while energy bolt and ice bolt both are affected by the same bug, it is possible for only one of them to be affected at a time, or both.

*NOTE the ONLY reason to take any bolt past level 1 is the faster casting effect. the damage bonus becomes worthless later, and is just a waste of SP. This bug is detrimental to any wizard, especially those with multiple ranks in cryomancer or wizard.

Steps to reproduce the issue :

  1. have energy bolt and/or ice bolt to at least level 2
  2. cast and release spells without going to full charge
  3. ??? get your spell interrupted? lag? unknown. may take several minutes of play.
  4. at some point, you will become “permanently” unable to use the bolt spells at all, unless you fully charge them. fully charging them does not fix the problem. only map or channel change will fix it.

This is the reason you have to fully charge it.

Still not exactly sure what causes it. It only happens when trying to do successive casts really quick, which makes me think it might be a latency related problem. Issue has been ignored/missed by IMC nevertheless.

seems to happen sometimes if you get your cast interrupted. incredibly annoying, just another reason not to play

thread revived

my ice bolt wont cast 3/5 times. over half the times

not sure why, my first cryo and if this has been a bug for a year now thats pretty sad

And this is why the new Alchemist Missile skill sucks
