Shadow Web doesn't work

max shadow web gang rise up



it does work on some monsters sometimes (usually ≈2% success rate or so) but on most monsters the success rate appears to be 0%

 

The hit box is above you. Try casting it under a mob

 

I am wondering why this post sunk so low, so decided to add some more detail.

Shadow Web's hitbox is clearly pretty fudged and should be fixed. It seems to either hit enemies above the player, or directly on top of them. This may in part be the cause of the apparently low success rate of Shadow Web. Even when I try to visualize this hitbox, I still am getting a success rate lower than 42% at level 1 in the skill. On top of this, I cannot tell if the skill actually targets 6 enemies, because it seems to always affect between 0-2 enemies (usually 0). Something is really off here.

ngrman's bug report thread from December 2020 (which sadly never got an official response either) has some videos showing the current Shadow Web, and the "sephi2112 - Proper usage of Shadow Web" video appears to show a functioning Shadow Web from some version of Maple 13 years ago. You can clearly see a much larger range for the skill, and it affects enemies directly in front of the player. I suggest that Shadow Web have its horizontal range expanded (or that assassins be allowed to throw stars up vertically to match the current Shadow Web jk jk). I can't tell what the original hitbox for the skill looks like, but it should probably have some amount of vertical range, with a much larger horizontal range. The success rate may also be incorrect and need adjusting.

Please fix this, some of us really want to use this skill; it's got a lot of potential. Not only is it a cool utility skill for the extinct grindhermit, but oddjob hermits could use the skill for actual training well into 4th job. It does not JUST hold enemies; it does damage over time (or at least it's supposed to; hard to tell with level 1 Shadow Web)! It would be useful at Magatia PQ for protecting Romeo & Juliet as well! Sure it may be only a small percentage of ML's population that want to use it, but until Shadow Web is fixed it's a false claim that "All skills (attacks and buffs) work" on ML.

 

can confirm that shadow web proc rate/ aoe/ and doesnt work on some mobs and esp in mini boss maps (kents in grif or manon for example) doesnt work and is bugged as compared to vanilla. This skill is important for those whom grind, especially skele like back in the days when handling multiple spawns. I've grinded on a 1x 3rd job server and this skill was well utilized.

 

old post. you have to kindve like jump down. before using it for it to "work"

ngrman WE DID IT

 

Does it not cost mp to cast shadow web?

 

Ook I noticed you didn't lose hp from taking damage but did lose mp from flash jump so it was a bit weird. Good stuff^^

 

YOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

Night Lord buffs??

(Jk good work)

 

Just in case anyone who sees this thread is wondering what SW might be useful for, I recorded a clip of me training on my daggermit alces at CDs:

Before the patch fixed SW, there was really no way for me to reasonably train with my friends at CDs on this char — it was basically KMs or bust. But this new ability gives a lot more flexibility, and a new nifty source of damage ^^
