Game Mechanics: Blazing Bracer of Fennin Ro does not shoot a Bolt

[uygi]

Bump because this is still broken and now presents a significant balance problem.

[uygi]

Bump because there's no one to argue with to keep it topped up. WTB some discussion... or something?

[uygi]

Bump again. Please at least make it function like a mage bolt =(

Bump again, and WTB some discussion so bumps not needed...

I just noticed this on my new wizard. It's quite annoying because casting max range dual bolt followed by shock was a nice strategy to take down a mob with no or minimal close combat. Or even when pulling 2 mobs: cast 1 bolt, cast root while its in mid-air, and keep nuking down. Currently the shock line and bolt lines are very redundant.

Bolt does have what appears to be the correct range despite its instant on hit effect.

[voxnav]

Yes, at least as far as the wizard bolt spells are concerned, the range, damage, and mana cost seem correct (i.e. a bit higher than the same level shock). However the lack of delay is a bit of a disadvantage compared to classic version (no possibility of doing multi-spell "burst" damage)

[uygi]

There are 3 versions of bolt. Classic which does not exist on P99 (and is described above and in other threads), P99-wizard which is just a long range instant nuke, and P99-mage, which doesn't allow multiple bolts (any type of casting while bolt is in the air cancels) but does have a travel time/delay on it. Why mage bolts were modified to have travel, but not wizard? Dunno, and I believe it predates my playing here.

More bump...

Belated bump.
