FrostBlitz Aspect not working with Ice Blades Enchantment

The “Frost blitz defensive aspect” increases frost nova charges from 1 to 2 but increases its cool down by a percentage. When using this aspect, the frost nova cooldowns are not applying to the Ice Blades enchantment which will spawn a new ice blade for every 40 seconds used in cooldowns. When using the first charge of frost nova the cooldowns apply nothing at all to a new ice blade spawn. When using the second charge of frost nova it applies exactly 1 second worth of cooldown.

If each charge applied 50% cooldown or if one charge did and the other didn’t I wouldn’t think it was bugged because it would basically be the same application as the standard spell. But with both charges applying nothing it makes me think this is broken.

Would be nice to have this work as you think it would with both charges applying to the cooldown counter so you can spawn more ice blades regularly. Right now it’s hard to justify this build with only being able to consistently spawn 2 blades and the occasional 3rd blade for a brief moment. The blades are often chasing down their targets and not actually making hits. I was looking forward to this aspect improving this.

Agree that frostblitz aspect doesn’t work with ice blade enchantment. Easy way to test it is to take off the gear with the aspect and it counts the cooldown spent correctly compared to having it equipped on

Yes, I have a piece of gear in my stash for this very reason. I keep checking to see if they’ve fixed it but still no dice. It just doesn’t make sense… they have so many other builds for classes with quick cooldown refresh but for some reason they’ve decided to gut ice blades thoroughly in every possible way.

Even with the nerfs, if this aspect worked properly and if cool down reductions effected the charges on the aspect then all of a sudden ice blades might make sense.
