Chain Lightning range increase
Is anyone else not happy that Luminous got: "Reflection (4th job): Range increased " and I/L mages are still stuck with an inferior range on our Chain Lightning? I really do hate that our CL is such a short range and that there isn't as much bounce in it. I'm not saying I want the bounce distance to be as ridiculous as Reflection, but come on it's pretty bad that it doesn't even bounce from one platform to another at Lhc Crockies or on Horntail at all. Don't get me wrong, it's a great skill but it needs a few tweaks. x:

[quote=beatx]I'm a hard-to-the-bone I/L Player, I'm currently 159 and I think not just anyone can handle I/L power, we do not have hacker-like bouncing
But me, for example, at LHC I start attacking with Ice Demon (if mob is under DOT you get additional damage) do some CL's to activate Arcane Aim and finish
with GC... I think it's very complex to be a good I/L, Lumi just do reflection walking here and there.[/quote]
But... why not just GC first, since it's stronger and has a DoT? Ice Demon won't really help you at LHC. And honestly, it isn't really complex at all to be an I/L. Just spam CL and use GC as often as possible. Lumis, at least while bossing, use equilibrium, so... that's some variety at least.
dude I love Chain I haven't had any problems with my I/l it's actually my favorite class by FAR I don't know why but I just love the simple but fun game play
Evan's Blaze says hi .
[quote=zMrHero]How much is our teleport range increased anyways? +100 doesn't tell me anything..
I've some levels left before I can put an SP in it and try it.[/quote]
Actually, it should tell you all you need to know. Teleport range is 150, teleport mastery adds another 20.
100 is an enormous increase. Still not as long as Luminous, especially vertical, but it helps a lot.

It's definitely noticeable, that's for sure.

I'm enjoying my Ice Lightning
I agree with increasing the range with CL and thank you nexon for helping our short ranged teleports
I was at aliens with my I/L a while ago and they kept ksing me with reflection...
CL's range was a lot better before they had to nerf the range to patch FPA/FMA hacks that abused CL's huge range.
They'll revamp us sooner or later. But dam, hyper skills were such a huge boost. No cooldown glacial chain is amazing!
@Yoshi7o7: It's not going to be changed, so not point in complaining. At least I/l have the edge when it comes to bossing.
[quote=j1mm13valadez]If you are bothered by it that much, Quit your I/l and go make a luminous. Stop complaining..[/quote]
Been there. Done that. Range for Reflection is too OP.

Atleast your range isn't as bad as blaze
[quote=View]Range increased? LOL, what do they need that for? They hit all the mobs in the map anyways.
I'd rather give Luminous a buff in bossing and a nerf in mobbing - Luminous do need a bossing skill and won't be much of a ksing class.[/quote]
Agreed. Pretty ridiculous they get an increase in range when they already hit the entire map.

Yep... I can't see how increasing the range of Reflection will change anything. It's like they're just mocking us with our puny Chain Lightning range...
@Yoshi7o7: Oh I didn't know that was how I/L mages felt. I mean I thought that, since Reflection was more ranged, CL would be more like almost every other mobbing skill(less ranged compared to Reflection) and that I/L mages would be okay with that.
@Yoshi707 well . Nexon wants people to play their new classes, so we would spend more nx . They're pretty much trying to get us to quit our old classes, and go to the newer ones . That's why most of the explorer classes are rather weak . I'd agree with a range increase for chain lightning though .
@Toxicvvaste But the basic concept of both skills is similar; they're both made to bounce from mob to mob. I'll ask you this question, have you ever trained in the same map as a level 150+ Luminous while on a I/L mage? It feels so degrading seeing another class with the same basic skill with a hit/bounce range on steroids. Like I said before, all I'm looking for a slight tweak in the hit/bounce range of CL, not anything near what Luminous' hit. As for CL being more of a bossing skill, well that's because it's the only practical attack to use on bosses.
@zure4 Well we are getting a Hyper skill for Tele range increase.
Same thing with teleport.
Stop trying to make those skills similar. They're not; CL is more a bossing skill.
Cant be helped nexon favors the newer classes while leaving the older ones to age,then decide to revamp them when they feel like it.
