[Wizard] [Frost Orb] [LMB] LMB Tap recovery frames are way too long
Currently on the frost orb there are 3 possibilites to use LMB:
Tap Shot (quick 3 shot sequence)
Charged Shot (slowly charging shot)
Quicky Charged Shot (quickly charging shot after sliding)
In my opinion a charged shot is more or less something that i commit to which feels more “stationary” but I get more damage in return.
A tap shot on the other hand should be something that is done more quickly, which makes me more “mobile” and able to react to what the enemy is doing.
Now to the problem statement:
On Frost Orb the tap shots have insanely long recovery frames which make them feel worse than charging a shot. I dont know if this was done on purpose but for me it feels like there is something wrong.
I attached video footage that shows me doing a single tap shot and spamming evade afterwards and the delay on it is horrendous.

Frost wizard is (I believe?) supposed to be all about mobility as you sacrifice completely absurd amounts of damage potential by going from Fire to Frost, so this is absolutely a problem yes.
Fire Wizard = “Sudden nuke / Heavy Hitter”
Frost Wizard = “Where the heck did that old man go!?”
So this does not really make any sense.
I main back and forth between Frost Wizard and SaS Priest, and the delay before i am allowed to dodge on Wizard just feels jarring whenever i switch back to that.
It really feels like you’re locked in to a very “Survive or attack, you can’t do both” situation whenever you get into a PvP match against any melee character, since you know throwing a frost shard is going to more or less guarantee that you will get smacked in the face too.
Even when you know your enemies can’t get into melee with you, but they still have a fast traveling attack, you just have to resign to the reality that if you do throw a quick Ice Shard, you’re gonna get smacked in the face back. :P
