There's no need to write a lengthy essay on why this spell needs to be removed, just please do it. The nonsense I hear about it being 50/50 is just that, nonsense. It only takes one hit. That +shrike is an instant kill, nevermind the lame strategy of using it in 2v2 with a life wizard with jade gear on healing the caster every turn incase it backfires, which it rarely seems to do. If it were a last ditch move that could only be used when a player falls below a certain health threshold then I could understand, but the way it is now, it's being abused and a lot of people are sick of it. Please reevaluate this and wild bolt, both are ruining pvp for a fair amount of us.
Banishing an entire spell from PVP is quite ridiculous. Although I've been struck by (and used) wild-bolt plenty of time myself, it's nothing too big. If you get hit.... work around it (unless you're killed)! PVP is adapt and overcome. if players are in a sticky situation (in this case, low/no health from a wild bolt hit), then the player can use wits and strategy to get out of the pinch.
@Lettup: Hold on, are you saying that Wizard101 has never banned a spell from pvp before? Level 75 non-PVP minions anyone? Along with certain spells from pack-dropped gear....

Lettup normally you make good points but this time your on the wrong side
1 insane bolt is nothing like wild bolt i have it on my storm
2 insane bolt hits harder always and with a life spamming heals on you as you cast poof the enemy dead
3 if you critical and have about 100 damage that thing dose about 4000 to the enemy and the risk of hitting you is still less for some reason it hit the enemy instead of hitting you more
5 also wild bolt at lest you hit 10 or 100 or 1000 and you mostly get 100 or 10
7 with how many pips it cost it really easy to spam for one and the other is long as you have a life you don't lose any pips if you die
now i know its a fun spell to have but storms power level are getting way high and spell like these get to op for pvp even know it maybe a great spell to have it really should of never been allowed for pvp they band the tc from pvp because it was to op they should do the same with the spell
also they do band cards from pvp because some are way to powerful for pvp

OOH Insane bolt! This whole time I thought we were talking about Wild bolt. That spell, yeah, I think it should be removed, if not an increase to the chance of the caster getting hit.

P.S. Thanks for the compliment about the good points.
Absolutely not, it is essential for the storm school to be able to generate damage spikes at a low pip level. That being said i do agree it should be nerfed to a 70-30 cast rate rather than the current 80-20.
I disagree. Keep this spell. Storm needs this spell and it won't completely kill ye for sure. 50\50 is fair in my opinion. Sometimes it kills the dealer, but other times it hits the enemy. Keep this spell. There is a way to survive this hit, it isn't op.

I agree 50/50 is fair which makes this spell kinda unfair since it has an 80% chance to hit the opponent and 20% to hit the caster. Anyways I agree with banning the spell or even adjusting it to a 50/50 chance to make it A LOT more insane and risky. Plus Insane Bolt isn't even the only spell that gives storm an advantage in damage early in the round. All low level spells at 80+ would be good for damage and they still have Wild Bolt.

Sometimes I wonder if someone is messing around with the game because throughout the course of 2 pvp battles I was hit with a 15-0 Insane Bolt, no hits on the caster, all hits on me.
It was also quite strange considering the caster said "GG" right before he kills me.
That aside, only shield against this is Tower Shield which is easily pierced by Storm, and I'm getting sick of spammers using this over and over again.
THE Michael StormCloud, #1 on the PvP leaderboards, spams Insane Bolt. I have met him multiple times in PVP and he never hits himself during the battle. Never once have I defeated him.
