CT1 Binding Cubic

I was lvling on ToI 11th floor with my warlock friend and noticed that the binding cubic doesnt fire / land nearly as often. In a full buff round, the cubic only paralized 3 mobs. In interlude, his cubic would paralize about 90% of the mobs he attacked. We also tested to see if the "wind ball" cubic had the same change in fire rate, but it seemed to fire as often as in interlude.

Does anyone know where it says this was changed? I checked here (http://www.lineage2.com/news/kamael_16.html) and it doesn't say anything about it. Has anyone else noticed the change?

It fires more when soloing since only my kat has to be hitting the mob, not me. But the land rate SUCKS now. I used to para 90% of even dark red mobs, now it para's dark blues at under 50%. I'm pretty disappointed.

fires more than before or more than if you are in a party?

I noticed last night that the newbie life cubic fired a lot more than it did previously. I had gotten the newbie buffs on my level 26 Elven Mystic and was healed pretty constantly.

my PS fires debuff cubic and stun cubic like MAAAAD and lands a lot still. if youre in a large group and you just have fun flagging on each other for the sake of fun waiting for respawns, try not to do that. you will get cubic aggro, and it will not be pretty.

especially with para cubic, yikes.

try it, form a group with your WK, smack him a bunch of times and watch him para you over and over and over and over until your flag status dissappears.

So it is only the binding cubic that is gimped now? We could seriously count the number of times it fired on our fingers. The number of times it landed was absolutely pathetic.

I noticed that both life and aqua cubic fires a lot more now, than in Interlude. :)

hmm.... nothing i've seen in the notes indicates this was changed.

Maybe that specific mob's resist changed or maybe the para cubic is considered dark/something else now... could affect it maybe

good
binding cubic was overpowered before

Fine with me, I hate warlocks... My PS cubics are amazing now, and what is more, the SK cubics are absolutly terrifying. Not so much the vampiric, but the posien (which is now more effective) and the debuffer attack over and over again. Posien is a killer for classes who are not blessed with 5-6k HP.

On the plus side, Soulless's posien is now rather effective in PvP, I would take it over merrow's aqua splash any day. I love this new patch. Nightshade and Soulless got a major boost for us PS's.

good to hear

Maybe that specific mob's resist changed or maybe the para cubic is considered dark/something else now... could affect it maybe

The problem is more the firing rate than the land rate tbh. It seems like the binding cubic fires 1/2 as often as all the other cubics.

I am just wondering if this was intended by NCsoft or not. If it was intended, why doesn't it say so in the notes?
