If you never fix it, I benefit =) Why?

1) Bolt spells for wizards have 100 more range (300) than regular nukes (200), so they make great openers
2) Bolt spells used to get borked if you fired with another mob inbetween, another PC inbetween, or at a mob that was at a sharp incline or decline from you, if the mob moved over a hill, etc - you had to be more careful with them. Right now, I can use them like regular nukes without worry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I regards to 2).
I remember archery working the same way.
You could hit a mob that was passing in between you and your target, also if PC's could block LoS from a target.
I remember these were change at some point, but not when.

Loved the bolt spells as well, I recall rolling a wizard very early on in Live.
Some one cast a lev on me and I would get as high as I could to cast bolt spells on mobs because it would fire down at them.
