Spells: Mage Bolt Line

[Uthgaard]

I have a screenshot somewhere of me running a bolt in circles, as a 53 bard with Selo drums. So the correct speed should be slightly below whatever that comes out to be.

[Nirgon]

I have no bolt graphic, is that something I have set up wrong? I'm looking for the little sun looking thing that usually shot out. Sometimes I see a little gbs graphic floating from others but for me they always look to cast as a DD.

[Honest]

I've noticed since the patch that Bolt Spells (at least bolt of flame) Will cast, take mana, say "target is bathed in fire" but then not do any dmg. Also there is no resist msg. Below is a screenshot. This has happened 3 out of 5 bolts.

That is your pet proccing his fire DD on the gargoyle.

If your bolt isn't landing most likely you are starting another spell before the bolt reaches the target.

Posting this OP and link to the thread for Alecta (not sure if this falls into your jurisdiction or if you read the other bug threads). Relevent for PvP especially with talks and changes to line of sight.

1. All bolt spells are too slow. They can't keep up with a mob walking away. They need to be sped up 3x or 4x faster. I remember it being slightly faster than a sow'd player.

2. If you cast ANY spell while a bolt is in air, it will never hit it's target and still uses your mana. On live you used to be able to cast a couple bolts in succession, while pulling, and you'd land the second shortly after the first one. Here you just can't cast anything until the first one lands... and since theyre so slow, you sit there waiting for a long time.

3. If another mob paths in the way of a bolt, it should take the hit. Here that doesn't happen. On the other side of the coin, the bolt can "miss" if say a player (not in duel, as they should take dmg if they're pvp flagged) or pet walked infront of it.

Bolts need rewritten.

Its on my list. Probably take a bit of work to do.

You have no idea how much <3 you will get from the SKs if wizard bolts are worked into the fix! /fingerscrossed

Maybe Telin can do the bolt particle effect

I think they have to use an object instead of a sprite. I haven't seen the bolt on p99 yet, but I have a theory that they can use an object with a particle effect on it. With a small object, I could increase the size of the particle to its appropriate size using the classic rotating fire particle.
