Ace in the Hole speed is ping dependent...

Unless this is a bug, which I doubt, the rate at which Phantom's new 5th job skill Ace in the Hole bounces depends on your ping, in case anyone who doesn't live in America was thinking about making a Phantom. I was so excited from seeing videos of the attack bouncing quickly all over the place, only to have mine have a slow 1s delay between bounces, which limits my burst damage.

Why does this have to be the case? Nexon please make it client-sided or whatever it is, I don't want to quit another MMO because my Australian ping objectively worsens my dps. In fact I choose to play Maplestory precisely because my ping doesn't affect my attack speed, except it does now.

    Have you tried the European servers?
    From experience playing Combat Arms EU, Australians there seem to have an OK ping.

    That would be very typical of Nexon if ozzies have better ping to their EU server than their NA one. Typically it's ~250 ping to NA and ~400 to EU.
