:PĬold snap will be moved to Ice block's position in the talent tree and its cooldown will be reduced. To be sure we're clear here, yes, the same cooldown will still apply between usages. Additionally, conjure mana (rank 6) will restore 1800-3000 mana and will now have three charges, meaning you can use it three times before having to create a new one. Ice block will become a core ability, trainable by all mages at level 30. First, we'll start out with two changes affecting all mages. "There are a few nice improvements we're making to the mage class in patch 2.3.2 (a small patch that will be on the public test realms soon) and we wanted to share them with you. Those are the best times I can think of to use this ability.Ĭomment by 81531According to Eyonix, in patch 2.3.2, Ice Block will now be a trainable ability for all mages. It won't clear it, but it will give the tank to build their aggro a little more. Use Ice Block to completely halt your aggro generation. I haven't tested this recently, but if you fall from a great height, use Ice Block near the ground to stop your descent and fall a short distance for no damage.ģ. Use Ice Block when falling from a high area. Use Ice Block to clear certain boss/mob debuffs. I'm only this desperate for cooldowns if I have multiple people attacking me.ġ. When I use it for this reason it's usually for Blink or FN.

Usually this will cause the attacker to divert his attention away from you and fight your allies, giving you time to run off and bandage up or keep casting.ģ. In these cases you can use Ice Block if reinforcements are nearby. Occasionally you may be caught off guard, be outnumbered, or just out-skilled. Use Ice Block to hold out for reinforcements. This may not sound aweomse, but when you have 6 DoTs Ice Block can save you from a quick death.Ģ. This include poisons, bleed effects, curses, and magic effects (corruption & SW:P).

Comment by 8185I have found a few nice uses for Ice Block in PvP and PvE.ġ.
