Blizzard is now snapfreeze shot

Blizzard is now officially called Snapfreeze Shot to all you Snipers and MMs. I do realise it's changed to clear up the confusion with I/L AM's Blizzard but IMO, it sounds lame and it could've been way better. Please note that we had the name Blizzard first before 4th job was introduced to MS.

[quote=Ricci]i can see the argument for blizzard being confused with I/L's blizzard...
oh wait, i can't. because i have never heard of them being mixed up ever.
and even if that was valid, F/P's use [i]meteor[/i], so whats with broiling shot?
typical nexon move..[/quote]

Now that you mention it, I've pretty much never seen anyone mixing up the names of their skills.
It totally makes sense for rangers' 'fire shot' to be called Inferno and then later Ultimate Inferno as a counterpart to Ultimate Strafe for MMs. :L

You should using the listings or auctions instead; you've got better chances of selling your items there since this post isn't related to the thread.

We had Blizzard before 4th Job even came out! They could have changed I/L Mage's skill name. Marksman Unite!

Ya... It is just as rediculous as when they changed Inferno and Ultimate Inferno to Roast Shot and Ultimate Roast Shot, or something like that.

Not that this is a big issue, but it would have been better to keep Inferno and make Blizzard into something like Hailstorm, Ice Age, or Icestorm... Though these changes arent even necessary.

I honestly thought snapfreeze sounded cooler than roasting shot, which in 4th job becomes broiler shot.. However, this might just be a grass is greener on the other side thing, but roasting and broiler are pretty terrible.

BM and MM unite on this option! The name sucks! Roasting Shot and Snapfreeze Shot *flips table* It was such an epic name... Inferno and Blizzard, and now they change is to a really bad name! No me gusta alliance *bangshead*

Roasting shot: Turkey anyone?
Snapfreeze shot: Camera craze anyone?

I don't understand why BM's had ours changed to Roasting Shot. I feel like I'm cooking food now. What was wrong with Inferno ?

[quote=blazi4ever]According to the definition of snap freeze, it's basically where you're trying to bring the temperature down below the freezing point as quickly as possible. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_freezing]Definition here.[/url] It's also used for food manufacturing as well.

And apparently rangers and BMs have their Inferno (Note it was the only name used) switched to Roasting Shot.

So basically we're dealing with foods according to GMS. What an insult to archers. D:[/quote]

not sure if i'm okay with food related skills or hate them because of its rediculousness

OMG yay we're cooks now

Broiling Shot is also related to cooking ;3

OT: On the bright side, we can shorten it to SFS now, which doesn't sound so bad at all!

It burns my ears. If you check the guide, I am protesting the change. I do still feel bad for Bowmasters though. Slightly off-topic: why in hell did Nexon think we needed Piercing-multiplier on Dragon's Breath? I mean doing 600k on my rush skill is cool but...

Also, fun fact I just learned today. The reason behind Pierce's old 7-enemy (now 9-enemy) DC is NOT because of the cap. It's because each hit of Pierce has it's own animation but [i]there is no animation in the file[/i] for the CO-induced hit.
