Frozen Orb
I haven't been on my I/L since the Shade update and just remembered in time for today's server check. Did they "fix" Frozen Orb back to "normal" or is it still glitched?

Frozen orb is glitched, but its not the fast attack, frozen orb can become invisible every once in a while doing no damage to monsters nearby. The faster attack speed is to make up for our "weak" skills that do no much more over 300% (except blizzard that is a super skill) unlike many other jobs were 400-500% is common, and I've done the math and with a frozen orb 20, damage between 15k-20k frozen orb can deal from 2-3m damage. which considering how a memory monk (lvl 140) has 1.2m hp. But Ive seen Lighting orb in action, and thats OP
Not a fan of the lag it causes I love using it when I'm lazy though. Party members/buddies always "make fun" of it, but when it works, it works
Frozen orb is glitched? Wow, I thought it was supposed to attack that fast. I sure hope it is not a glitch.
[quote=tabledude]Im making an i/l just because of the glitch hope its not actually a glitch but its as intended[/quote]
Make a I/L for fun if you want but it is a very very likely a glitch and will go away. Also even without the glitch we have not had "bad" damage in a long time. In all the dpm charts I have seen we are in the top half without even taking elemental reset into consideration.
I have to agree with @Verrix: on this one. The way it is now doesn't make us OP, but instead helps us close the gap between the other Jobs. I took a break from Maple and when I heard that Frozen Orb was glitched and was putting out insane damage I thought it was going to be like that time Mages could hit cap easily. As it stands now it seems like it's a welcome change that should have been intended.
I don't understand, when I read basil everyone says "glitch." However, the reputable players in game say it is intended and that nexon said in the revamp that a total of 27? Almost all characters got a small revamp in some way. Why wouldn't I/L be one of them? We all know we needed it. This "glitched" (hopefully intended) frozen orb doesn't make us op or anything of the sort. Before the revamped frozen orb we were far far behind most every class in 1v1 dps. Now we're just able to hang and kinda keep up compared to decently tiered dps classes. We by not means became an over powered class because of a faster frozen orb, it only allows us to finally compete.
Some people say glitch, I hold out hopes that these skills were intended to be revamped and the only "glitch" happening is that lag spike that it causes. With that smoothed out everything would be gravy. I certainly hope frozen orb is here to stay, before, thieves with my range were doing almost 10 mins faster than me in dojo. Now I can get a lot closer to their times with the same range. I didn't surpass them or even equal, only came closer, to give everyone an idea of the huge op difference (not actually the case at all). I have mained an I/L for 8.5 years, we not only needed this, we as a class deserved this. *fingers crossed*

I agree being strong because of a glitch is not what I want and I hate the lag it causes. Just happy that the cd got fixed.

Still good. We're still good.
Please don't fix it... *sobs hysterically in corner*
[quote=strenling]But today's maintenance though..[/quote]
i would have thought that a game update would be necessary to fix this rather than a maintenance, i guess we have to wait and see what happens after maintenance is done..
[quote=Fastindy]i have used Frozen Orb after the shade update, and i can confirm that it is still glitched and has the same attack speed.[/quote]

Sucks for y'all. Demon Avengers and Kaisers are enjoying the "glitch" very well. Bat Swarm and Wing Beat have (had, if it was removed, shucks) been the best way of mobbing for us since no CD
I haven't tried since before the update as well. And literally opened up Maplestory, logged in, then it closed for the maintenance that I hadn't known about.
But probably.
