BOLTS ARE EASIER THAN YOU THINK..., By Sergiocqh (1/28/2001)

In my 56 levels playing as a mage I've missed maybe 5 bolts total. Just avoid altitude differential between you and your target, other players and NPCs, and trees(which are actually hard to hit, except the huge trees in the forest zones). If you're grouping, get close to the target so no one will step infront of your bolt. Learn to strafe.
Benefits of bolts are long ranges and tracking. Yes, bolts do track moving targets. Try casting this on a moving target in a flat area and you'll see. Oh, and then there is the time it takes for the bolt to reach the target. In that time you can fire off more bolts or run away. A spell you can actually pull with but not at these levels I'm afraid. The druid spell has a recast delay, this doesn't so we can chain cast these bolts.
This is something I typically did in this era.
