Brief bug summary: Using the Night Walker 5th Job skill "Shadow Spear" will disconnect the user.

More details:
Since the 5th job patch, using the Shadow Spear skill often results in the user disconnecting. Seems to disconnect when attacking a large number of monsters.

    Depending on where you are, it's not the skill itself. If you're training in Arcane River maps, you'll most likely disconnect from using any skill.

    The Arcane River maps seem to have a hard time registering multiple hits on mobs, which results in latency and disconnections. You'll mostly encounter this problem in Chu Chu Island.

    Nah, I've DCed using Shadow Spear in Scrapyard - Deck1, Fallen World Tree - Upper Stem Crossroad, and Chaos Zakum.

    The Arcane River maps I can DC using Shadow Spark and Dark Omen, don't even need Shadow Spear for those. Problematic maps are Chu Chu 's Eree Valley and Skywhale, and Lachelein Clocktower that I've found so far.

    Yes same here.
    I hate how whenever we hit to many lines duo skills, we get dced.
    It's been a while now and i have sended alot of emails to nexon,
    They keep saying they're investigation but i don't see much happening, as sad as it is beside this bug we delt now for i think 4-5weeks with alot of dc bugs at nightwalker.
    I really hope they start fixing those issues.

    Definitely map dependent, not the skill.

    Run DIPQ and use every buff and never dc. Only been dcing on Arcane River and Pollo+Fritto.

    The Shadow Spear DC might be latency and/or minimum computer specs. I'm running an AMD Phenom 2 quad-core, so I have bad single processor performance, and Maplestory isn't multi-threaded at all. My GPU is a Radeon HD 7770, so there shouldn't be any problems there.

    Map DC affects other classes as well. Important to not confuse the two issues.

    Me too .
    When my nightwalker farm in the clock tower 2F and use shadow spear, it will D.C. after the spears hit large amount monsters....
    I'm so sad about this bug. I lose a good skill to level up now.
    Anyway, why nightwalker has skills' D.C. all the time since the immigration? Hahahahaha.........
