Having the same exact issue. Hoping the devs address this soon. This is seriously hindering play as a mage

Heya! We’ve surfaced this over to the dev team and they’re looking into it. Once we have an update, we’ll share it with you all.

Finally an answer, thanks.
Don’t forget to talk about fireball perk aswell please which is not working
Thank you…As you can probably tell, this really broke the entire game for us, and is frankly upsetting. Our weapons don’t work. Having the gold to respec is already a HUGE obstacle to change our entire character. But that pales in comparison to the cost and time to get entirely new armor, weapons, jewelry etc etc etc because intelligence does not scale with anything else. All of my armor and jewelry is intelligence focused, so now it’s worthless. SO, we’re totally, for lack of a better word, screwed until this is fixed. We can’t wait for the “next weekly patch,” we need this hotfixed now
Was the dev team not already aware?
If the dev team didnt know about fireball and pillar of fire (they know about Ice Storm), its quite shocking!
They knew, and this was the token response I expected from them on a Monday. We won’t hear anything else from them or about this for probably a fucking week. If that
Just calm tf down is my troll response. Calm tf down, play the game in other ways until it is fixed. Jesus.

They screwed how the aoe works and now instead of an area is a very small pixel so sometimes it does hit but it has to be perfectly aligned. AG really has a very poor SDLC, whoever is on their QA team probably has no regression testing no testing automation and no proper agile processes in place. This is a major critical bug because it renders your char pretty useless with less than 40% dps.

I’ve stopped playing the game, having abilities not even register or hit to adds sitting on the ground is unacceptable.
Next I’ll ask for refund and move to a new game. Sucks to sink 100’s of hours into a game to have such a shit experience and lack of follow up form the company. Guess that’s what you should expect from Amazon, same reason I don’t spend money on Amazon platform. Shit experience for the end user and they are to large to care.
Goodbye New World it was fun while it lasted. Onto the next
Thanks, it needs sorting ASAP, Along with the other spells 
this is me not holding my breath

Understandable that the wealth and dupe bugs may be higher on the totem pole, but any news on what the problem here is and when it may be addressed would be helpful…

After patch and the bug is still there, also there is no mechanism to trigger it, it just happend randomly (tried using from above, from below, in combat, passive, swiching weapons, etc)… with all the aoe or ground targetted skills of the mage
