About Elemental wand

I think this has to do with NLC potions (which other versions don't have) in combination with Ice / Fire Full-Screen AoE attacks... If those would be made even more stronger, then the gameplay would suffer extremely for other classes...

I think that's also why they made Crimson Guardians, good exp/hp, immune to all sorts of elements, so Bish/AM can't take over the maps...

I would say, Nexon FINALLY did something for game-balance...

This is probally the main reason, because our pots do make spamming the mage ultimas acutaly pratical. Unlike other versions who dont have nlc, I belive they have to use a pot that heals 80% hp and mp for 12k.
And even with versions with nlc (tms), their pot prices are different. Our ginseng/gingerale(forgot which one is higher) is 3.6k, tms has them for 16k.
