New Ice Orb

While everyone knows this is going to get nerfed, [b]use it while you can.[/b] It's insanely OP.
Also, shouldn't we send some petition to nexon about, while Ice Orb is getting nerfed, to not make it as terrible as before? ?

Where do you read about the nerf?

This is also the case for Demon Avenger Bat Swarm. It only costs 400 hp to cast and like all other skills recovers 10% hp per hit. Hits 40 times so no cooldown, just attack limit. So spamming this and nether shield at bosses puts out some stupidly high dps. Like FO, if one were to cap with any of those skills, it would be too insane.

They should just leave it. Give the I/L something to play with while the rest of the skills are all mediocre.

nexon won't listen. they never do, especially gms. ice orb is going to be reverted to what is was and il dps will fall off a cliff. Im playing Evan until play wizard comes out.

Frozen orb without the glitch isn't bad, but not great either. It's great that they fixed the cooldown on it, but i'd be happy if they maked it faster than before. Maybe not as fast as with the glitch, but faster than its original state. But Nexon hates I/L's and loves to see them being weak, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

@strenling before it was like 210ms per attack. now if it's Arrow blaster speed, it's 90ms.
also, sure, FO has less hits/s then CL. but it has much better DPS than CL alone. with just booster, FO had 1.35s delay. 220% per hit. 5 sec cd and assume duration lasts till end of cd (so it lasts 5 s, but timer starts at begining of that 1.35s so we only get 3.65s of FO in the end). 3.65s*220%/210ms = 3823.8%/s. compared to CL: 273%*7/690ms = 2769.6%/s

Hasn't it been hitting that fast since its release? It's not that overpowered. Mine hurts 500k every hit, and it hits about 3-4 times a second. That's nothing compared to Chain Lightning.[/quote]

Right now it hits like 100000 times a second and its so fast it lags my computer

Ice Orb and some other skills hit as fast as Arrow Blaster.
The nerf being reverting Ice Orb back to its previous normal state.
