Blaze Wizard's main attacking skill, Orbital Flame, which it gets an upgrade for each job advancement, has an exploit that has been there since its rework ages ago allowing it to hit every mob on the map, which is why every bot I see is a Blaze Wizard.

In addition to Orbital Flame being exploitable for botters, in my opinion it just looks and feels boring to use.

My suggestion is for Orbital Flame to be replaced with another skill of similar damage output and range (horizontal and vertical), but that looks cooler and of course is not exploitable.

I think a change like this would get rid of a lot of botters, or at least make them less effective, as well as making Blaze Wizard much more fun to play.

    If Blaze Wizard hacking is blocked, hackers will just move on to the next class. They already hack on Kinesis and Blaster too.
    In the past it was Demons, and before that it was Explorer mages, and before that it was Dragon Knights, and before that...

    The exploit needs to be blocked, of course, but don't fool yourself into thinking that that will reduce botting or hacking any.

    :T patching the exploit might honestly be easier than creating a whole new skill set for BW. I like Orbital Flame tbh...but I hate botters.

    The old flame gears was dope. Similar to poison mist.
