Frozen orb hit rate a lot faster?

With the new update, is it just me or does frozen orb's hit rate seem to be a lot faster? Is that just the new dmg graphical system that is giving that illusion or is the hit rate increased now? I swear it hits so fast that my game lags whenever I use it and I never lagged before the update. I used it on hilla and it was enough to kill her in less than 2 seconds.. And by the way, thumbs up to nexon for finally fixing its cooldown!

Edit: Someone posted a vid of it on another thread

No this is for sure 100% a glitch.

Other skills are getting the same thing.
-Wingbeat
-Frozen Orb
-Bat Swarm

Enjoy it while it lasts lol

Sadly I also think its a glitch. Part of me wants it to not be but I am just deluding myself lol. But glad the cd is fixed.

@mark24 Lol, yea. pretty sure most of us are smart enough to know this is a glitch. I'm lagging when I use it, too (though partly because MS' Memory usage just constantly increases as time goes on, which is ridiculous...)

[quote=Expys]I was talking to my friend about this today and he's thinking it's actually glitched? I haven't seen the new Frozen Orb myself, but he backed it up by saying:
1. There was no notice about this change on the patch notes.
2. Kaiser's Wing Beat is noticeably faster (other skills as well), but in a buggy kind of way..

What do you guys think?[/quote]

@GoXDS: I just did czak twice without any problems if that helps. And I noticed it after I died, as well.

No problems with Evo Empress either.

O_O I must check that out later! dam that cd was variable as hell.
@OrionTempest that's interesting...I'll see if I can trigger the same

I used it on Hard Hilla while duoing with a friend, and I see what you mean, but for some reason, shortly after that, all of my attacks kept hitting 3102 damage no matter which attack, with Elemental Decrease on or off.

[quote=JVIaplevoyager]I just noticed you can switch back to the basic dmg system and I tested it with that on hilla. And holy mother of god...frozen orb hits as fast as hurricane...wow. I really hope this was an intended change by nexon and they keep it like this, this is amazing. Frozen orb is actually a really really good skill now.[/quote]

yes pls never nerf...we need what we can get especially since nexon never shares the love to us..

Thank God, I was rarely using orb when bossing before because I couldn't count on it being consistent. This is a really great surprise that they didn't mention in the update.

They didnt remove it, but it's now always 5 seconds exactly which is great.
