Insane Bolt Being Used in Ranked PvP by Storm

Hey all you wizards!

I am just here to inform KI that once again the InsaneBolt storm card is in PvP again... I was in a PvP match today, not that long ago, and a player by the name of Edward <something something> used InsaneBolt 3 times, and got all three hits on my team. This card clearly is NOT for pvp, as stated in the game and on the Wizard101 Central website. I, nor the rest of my team know how he was able to use it, but he did, and that being one of the reasons we lost. (It was a 2 storm and 1 myth VS. life, death, and balance - my team). This one of the many examples of how storm as well as other school get advantages over the rest of the players. All I am asking from KI is that they fix this issue so that InsaneBolt can not be used AT ALL in pvp any more. (colossal, etc) Everyone that has also have this happen to them, please support me on this, I know I am not the only one as my team to have this occur to them.

Sadly I did not think at the time to screenshot it, which was my fault of course, but I know that I have the proof of several other wizards that I can assume have also have this happen to them!

Best of luck in PvP all you wizard!

dude why do you even get mad about insane bolt they can kill themselves ya know so that is a good advantage and plus that spell is really moon damage so i don't think storm blades and traps will activate it (Blaze Moonmender promethean)

Are you attempting to say insane bolt is no PvP? Because that is false. Insane bolt TC IS no PvP.

Hope I cleared that up,

P.S. if they are dumb enough (no offense) to use it well then fine, you might get an auto-win

Ok ok ok ok hold on. Whats wrong with insane bolt? If anything you should be dancing in the street since insane bolt can pretty much kill whoever uses it. And since it can only be used by storm wizards in pvp (not the tc) then we pretty much die if it backfires (trust me it backfires a lot). And to be honest, I hear complaints about all kinds of spells that should be "Banned" from pvp. Guardian spirit for example. No one likes that spell because well it brings the dead back to life, but it's a spell just like every other. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it if they took away a spell that you like so much. You gotta think about these things before you go posting everywhere that you hate this because someone used it a few times. As I have said before, you don't HAVE to pvp. It's just there as something to do, but it's optional and quite frankly I think people forget that.

Thats strange, the insane bolt cards I earned from the Mirror Lake dungeon are no pvp cards.

They just need to make all insane bolt cards no PVP.

Insane Bolt TC are not allowed in PvP. However, it is a regular trained school spell for Storm, so it's allowed, just like any trained school spell is allowed, like the minion Talos for Myth but others can not use the Talos TC for PvP.

Rather than removing them from pvp, i think they should up the self destruct rate. Atm i think its either 10% or 20%, and that just doesnt happen often enough when they are hitting 1800 with 2 pips.

It's 25% rebound, 75% success.

You're wrong. Regular insane bolt can be used in pvp, but not the tc I think. Some guy used it on me yesterday and killed himself.
