Summary0004385: High-tier Ride the Lightning is still a flight spell
DescriptionI originally thought this was intended behavior, but after seeing the release notes for 0.510 maybe it's not.

Not sure exactly where the transition occurs, but Ride the Lightning VI allows you to fly as long as your mana holds out.

Can't the ride the lightning spell be more like a regular double jump? It will reset when you touch the ground.

Higher level spells will increase the height gain, while even further leveled spells even may let the player to triple jump (After the cooldown is finished of course).

I'm only reporting it because it seems in line with the recent release notes. My preference is if I'm paying 6+ times the mana as a new character why shouldn't I be able to fly? Bat form already flies from level 1, I just want to shoot the arsenal of heaven while I'm up in the clouds. :P

I quite like the idea that eventually ride the lightning allows you to fly.

* Ride The Lightning now has a 0.66 second cooldown instead of 2 seconds. This makes it play nicer with storm dash and similar.
** However, ride the lightning also now can only be used a single time between ground touches. This makes it no longer a "flight" spell at very high tiers; you can no longer just keep chaining them together without actually touching the ground.
