Spells: Mage Bolt Line - Page 4

My mage is only landing 20-30% of bolts, and you can see the bolt animate and go right to the seafury and it still doesn't land. Not sure if its because of the mob being a seafury or what, but its absolutely not working correctly.

This seems to happens when you switch targets while bolt is in air, such as if you heal your pet before bolt lands.

I havn't tested that, but that isn't why its messed up for me. They are missing 10-30% of the time from all directions and point blank/far away/middle distance. It's totally screwjobbed.

I can confirm this happens all the fucking time.

I haven't found a rhyme or reason as to why, though. Sorry...

7-10+ roots from an earth pet isn't enough aggro to pull off from a 5dmg nuke. (with the melee that goes with the roots, and the DS, and the procs from stun whips)

Pet aggro is broken beyond all reason.

So I guess another mage who has burnt wood staff also explained to me what the problem was. You must wait for the first bolt to land before clicking staff for a new cast. Problem resolved.

It's not just waiting for the bolt to land before casting another, you need to wait for the bolt to land before casting any spell, casting any spell while a bolt is in the air makes it not hit the target.

This is broken. You should not have to wait for it to land.
Side note: the bolt goes waaaay slower than it did on live, as well.

I'm gonna bump this for the Burnt Wood Staff but also make a new thread specifically for the Staff.

Edit: So apparently it's all bolts? I just never noticed because I didn't chain bolts so I wouldn't draw aggro.
