Spells: Mage Bolt Line

[Snufz]

Samwise shitting on another bug thread with no real insight.

I don't see it ever being coded to require los on bolt hit. Therefore there are a few options.

1 increase bolt speed
2 keep same slow as hell bolt speed but code it so you can have multiple bolts in the air at once as per clasic. As it stands now after you cast a bolt if you even hit j boots the bolt will poof. Effectively silencing the mage until bolt hits.
3 change bolts into a direct damage spell. Probably the easiest and most effective solution.

what are you talking about? bolts going thru walls isnt a bad mechanic, its borderline exploits. in classic you needed a direct path to your target. a wall, tree, bug, rock would block the cast (not block the cast as in stopping the spell but bolt would not hit target). requiring LOS would make it more classic like than anything.
