I'm just wondering about the numerical stats of icebolt when it comes out, because, atm, all I hear are rumors of "not as good because you can't spam it."
But if it's even a little stronger (25%?), I think it would be worth it on those mobs that would take 1.25 magic arrows.
TL;DR: anyone have numbers, or anyone who plays KR think it's any good?

Because we know we're eventually gonna get it, so we post the information we already have.
Lots of entries on the wiki were posted before we had the content both on Vindictus and Mabinogi. (I.e. All of Evie's content)

I mean, the magicians guide regarding Evie describes Icebolt as having limited usefulness because it's "less spammable" and "only hits up to 3 max anyway"
How would the guide writer know this without having used it firsthand; or even with some numbers?

You mean the General guide? I know for a fact we don't have it in the Staff one (We don't put anything in that we don't already have in the American game, in case something changes). It was my understanding that Icebolt hits in a straight-ish line at a long distance, which would be useful in a few areas. Depending on the damage and spam ability, it might replace magic arrow in the line up of attack spells. But it depends, we'll see when it gets out. :)

Yeah, after doing a lot of digging around, I realized that everything we know about Icebolt are actually just assumptions.
We only know it has an animation and some AOE. We don't know how far it goes, it's stam cost, it's cooldown or if it has any other special effects.
We actually have no clue; I don't see why so many people on the Nexon forums are already dismissing it as "not that good" -__-

Because people are gullible and listen to everything everyone else says and so continues a circle of misinformation until corrected otherwise.
