ICE: SO STRONG and we signed up to be a tank but with the dps changes we can start to finally not be a good dps and the best tank in the game.

In this video we are training it to young, and it gets a really good talent!! With Snowball barrage sitting below tempest with a shadow pip makes no sense to me.

There’s gonna be no point using this spell if a regular 7 pip spell is gonna do 65 more damage (Orthrus). That was a LONG time ago. Might help bring balance up to date. Thoughts: This is a substantial nerf, but the spell did a disproportionate amount of damage before. Yet Myth has a 700 aoe for 7 pips that has higher damage than storm… Buff storm lord to 760 or 790 at least.

First of all, it is important to remark that these changes are still on test realm where anything can change. I had noticed that something did not match my memories about Snow Angel’s damage. Thoughts: This spell now became much more useful in PvP. Hmm, if Mystic Colossus is going to be used as a utility spell, I’d recommend more than just one shield being removed. Imagine being us Myth wizards and not having a new AoE in like 4 years.. Yea, I agree on Myth. Conclusion: I feel like 80 damage per pip with shadow is fair. A nerf was welcome for this spell. They didn’t remove the 25% damage that is applied when a spell is an AoE. Even with 85 it doesn’t match the differences from 7-pip —93/pip would with the shadow as three pips included.
