Bowmaster Still glitched
Seriously, This is just outrageous at this point now.
Although the D/C issue is fixed, AB is still not functioning properly,
1) Arrow Blaster (Turret-mode) does Approx. 50% less damage when it is used with the Skills <Decent Combat Orders> and <Combat Orders>.
2) Arrow Blaster's casting is interrupted when you are attacked. (I.e. It recasts after you get hit, especially noticeable at Commerci when fighting Red Polpo).
3) Arrow Blaster (Turret's) range of attack is lowered when using skills Hurricane and Arrow Blaster. (It is also affected by lag so it maybe internet-related, unlikely though).
Neither of the above 3 problems are in the known issues tab, which is quite disappointing.
I may have missed some other glitches if you have a experienced it, please feel free to post below.

@NeoBowmaster: You need to make a seperate thread on basil and also ask ppl to submit tickits. MAybe even provding a template for both, because...ppl are lazy, even when it benefits them.

Also @bluebomber24 I didn't see you HL'd me.

When I said unglitch, I meant to get Nexon to notice you. Looking around, it sounds like Broadside's stance issue was fixed, while other Rapid-fire skills still arn't. If this is true, this is what I mean. If you make a thread on Basil, Nexon will never see it.
Since I don't want to write a super long post; you basically need to replicate [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/community/#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1048969-List-of-Bowmaster-Glitches-Post-Red%26p%3D8877569%23post8877569]this[/url] and use the [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/community#%2Fshowthread.php%3F47722-MapleStory-Bug-Reporting-Guidelines%26nxid%3D6]Bug Reporting Guidelines[/url]. There are a lot of other things you can do as well to increase the odds of being noticed. For example, using the Nexon tracker to stalk MysteryMask and Dagon also goes a long way.
Case and point, the reason why AFA and AB got on the Known List is because I waited for MysteryMask to go into her lets talk to random people mode, then quoted her in a thread asking why the bugs wern't fixed when a 50+ page bug report thread existed.
[quote=gotarmaru]1) This also effects Phantom
2) Arrow Blaster is not interrupted when hit while being cast as phantom.
3) Arrow Blaster can be used by Phantom there for not exclusive

Quoting my response to another poster makes most of your post irrelevant. Mainly because I am talking about the skill Arrow Blaster itself, regardless of whether or not it affects phantoms. Also in response to your 3rd statement Arrow blaster is a exclusive skill to BMs because its intended to be used by bowmasters and is the only skill of its kind, phantoms can steal it but do not possess the skill themselves in their skill book.
@jyyk I see. Well you could use fire hurricane/enhanced hurricane instead of arrow blaster as your key down skill of choice for the time being, since it seems to be unaffected by the current glitch(es) affecting Arrow Blaster or the other Rapid Firing Skills.
@MeMagicalPie That seems like an interesting theory, thanks for the input.
On a further note: I once again experience the overlapping Armor break glitch during gollux and did not notice any difference to my damage.
I think there's a minimum/maximum critical damage glitch
I'm doing 20-30% less damage when my SE is buffed
2)
This is a huge detriment to BMs who's main skill is AB. With a Cast Delay of 800 ms, it takes 2 hits of DB's Fury skill before Arrow Blaster gets out ONE arrow. It is possible to get hit again and re start the Cast Delay again. Also, not all Hold down skills are cancelled at hit IE: Hurricane and Ultimate Drive, Phantom skill.
The only remedy is to set the Arrow Blaster, but it is quite troublesome if the enemy target is moving. It gets so frustrating that I find myself just spamming uncountable arrow and have the same result when training.
3)
There may be a delay in the arrows shot in Arrow Blaster do to lag. It seems true especially when two ABs are being used creating lag. The monsters sometimes just freeze, even though it should've died already.
[quote=NeoBowmaster]1) You obviously don't have a high enough level/range to appreciate CO's Usefulness as a skill. Although its not Super Essential it is really helpful.
2) Not necessarily, I can use my fire-version hurricane fine but it (Arrow Blaster) may or may not be tied to the other skills.
3) Arrow Blaster (Turret mode) is a skill given to us (Bowmasters) after the RED explorer revamp patch, It is a skill exclusive to bowmasters and lets them set their move (Arrow blaster) on the ground and move freely and use any other attack (including arrow blaster).[/quote]

I've been experience the recasting issue quite a bit, and I've found it so annoying that I can't stand doing any of the trades with Livy. Sometimes it doesn't even recast, which is even more frustrating
[quote=betaboi101]Nexon should just compensate all bowmasters like 100k nx for the past few months of glitchy patches </3[/quote]
Yes please Just kidding. Although I'd love 100k nx, it might start some unneeded arguments among all Maple jobs.
[quote=bluebomber24]hmmm......I am somewhat curious why that visual glitch is there though, if it is such.[/quote]
Well I am not sure. It could be mortal blow being mixed up with armor break by the system, but its highly unlikely because I was fighting a boss and mortal blow does not trigger at bosses. Although I should mention it happened twice and quite briefly so it could have been mere luck (Activates at 100% rate, 10% rate and 10% rate.). It is quite possible unless armor break has a cooldown built into it that we are not aware of.

[quote=NeoBowmaster]Well coincidently, the glitche occurred to be today during my RA run (vellum), but I was not able to note my damaged at that time. Also, I speculated that it was such (visual glitch).[/quote]

[quote=NeoBowmaster]@Copyrighted So far, I think its fine for me. For people who state it procs so fast that it overlaps it self, they are likely experiencing a visual glitch.[/quote]
What do you have that makes you think its a visual glitch?
The reason why your still unglitched is because your not approaching it in the proper way. I might type how later, but for now I'm going to sleep. or you can always ask gaeblog or w/e his BM ID is.

@jjlily I see. Well like I suspected that may be an internet connection issue which is different for everyone, or it may not be, But for now it isn't THAT big of a deal.
idk about the C/O with turret glitch thing. but yeah, when u're using blaster (non-turret form) and u get hit without a stance skill, it gets interrupted. i can vouch on this.
the glitch of turret's range is hard to reproduce cuz i only happened to experience it once in awhile. but i can say for sure that if u set turret's angle at the highest possible angle, the turret's red arrow's animation will not go all the way (i.e it stops in mid-air with very noticeably short range).
[quote=fishyfishyum]1) stop using co it's useless anyway?
2) all key-hold-down whatever-like skills do that for a reason

@TripleBladez 1) Yes it does. When I realized this, I just Self-CO and buff up then cancel the buff immediately. I did this in dojo and got 20 minutes [I had 23 mins the week prior to me finding about this glitch] (3 minutes shaved off due to me cancelling Self-CO in comparison to not when I did it the previous week.).
If you want to try it: Cast all your buffs (This is to make the effect that this issue has much more apparent), start attacking a monster (One that you don't beat really fast is recommended), Set Turret down (Look at turret's dmg), cancel Self-CO, Now look at Turrets damage (Notice it is higher than it was before).
I don't know how this thing makes sense but its likely due to bad coding somewhere.
2) It doesn't seem to be affecting Fire Cane though. But I guess we will wait and see if it gets fixed with the other skills. (I sure hope so.)
Turret Mode does less than half the damage with Self-CO? I use Self-CO all the time, too. I should check that. How is it even possible?
Issue two has been happening ever since the patch for all key-down skills, apparently. It seems to be related to a Stance and knockback issue.
