Frost mage gets a stun! +Precognition for all casters

Blizzard has listened!

  • MAGE
    • General
      • New PvP Talent: Precognition – If an interrupt is used on you while you are not casting, gain 15% Haste and become immune to control effects for 4 seconds.
      • Ice Wall – Now available for all specializations.
      • Ring of Fire – Now available for all specializations.
    • Fire
      • New PvP Talent: Glass Cannon – Increase Fireball and Scorch damage by 40%, but reduces your maximum health by 15%.
    • Frost
      • New PvP Talent: Snowdrift – Summon a strong Blizzard that surrounds you for 6 seconds that slows enemies by 70% and deals Frost damage every 1 second. Enemies that are caught in Snowdrift for 3 seconds consecutively become Frozen in ice, stunned for 4 seconds.
      • New Talent: Frost Bomb – Places a Frost Bomb on the target. After a 5 seconds the bomb explodes, dealing Frost damage to the target and Frost damage to all other targets within 10 yards. All affected targets are slowed by 70% for 4 seconds.

All casters get precognition as a general PVP talent and fire finally got some improved sustained damage to play with. DF looking amazing.

Not only do i get to juke, I get incap immunity/kneejerk stun immunity for doing it. Can’t wait

Now I need to figure out how to fix this FPS drop from icewall breaking so I can use the talent if anyone has a fix would appreciate it nothing has worked thus far

Its a 1.4 cast and 1 minute CD. The stun appears physical and not dispel either cus of it.

If it’s going to stun for being in for 3 seconds then it shouldn’t slow while being in it

4 seconds not 3. As opposed to every other stun in the game being instant and not casted/kickable and on a timer to incur the stun and majority being physical as well.

idk seems fine to me, maybe thats just mage bias ig. Its basically remorseless winter with a cast. Its gonna be difficult to nail most people with it anyway when you factor in

DH can dash out of it freely
Feral/druids can powershift out of slow
Warriors can leap/storm away
Rogues can cloak/burst of speed
Rets can freedom
Locks can port
Other mages can blink
Monks can roll/fsk/tigers
Dks have deaths advance to chains mage and walk away
Shamans can ghostwolf out
hunters can disengage/freedom
priests can fade.

Its more of get off me and stop all in me tool anyway, unless your crossing with Ring of frost. DK variant is stronger because you were trying to flee away from the grip remorseless and apemode frost dk dps in legion while hes actively trying to stun you.

Mages aren’t chasing you doing insane dps instantly and proc stun on you same time while your trying to flee

Itll likely be used as a followup to fear since the damage isnt high enough to break it

Remorseless is also a 20% slow instead of 70%

Not even talking about these talents but have you ever said anything positive? Like I don’t think I’ve ever seen you once say anything good about anything it’s always just “busted” “needs nerf” “lmao as if arcane mage is bad” “brainless” etc just curious if anything has your stamp of approval ever

Not in shadowlands but thanks for asking. Let’s go DF.

Wait, I did say I liked the thing coming where if you fake cast and they miss the kick you get the cc immunity. That’s a positive.

Let me try again.

OH NICE, now Friday mage can be viable. This is awesome news.

What, what the hell, why is hoj not physical then.

Also come on, saying it will be hard to get off is a meme, you can use it while in los and then shimmer to your target, easy.

You have to be in it for consecutive ticks, watch vens video on it if you step out of it for a moment it won’t go off.

What’s the range on it?

is this just for silly little caster boy dps or do healers have access to this

nvm saw in the other thread its for healers to. good

Seems like the play would be to set it up with frost nova and then dump some aoe burst on top of it. Ranged interrupt will be a problem, but this will screw melee ranged interrupts pretty hard.

And, of course, you would wait until things like cloak, freedom, etc are on cooldown.

Numb just says the same thing about everything p much

And? Sorry I don’t agree and think frost needs a stun.
I’ll just start saying everything is great. Will that make you smile sockems?

finally they understand this mechanic exists and integrate it into pvp

Its just strange

not sure if I like this ability personally. It’s cool and all but it seems like it just pushes mage to being harder to kill and not addressing the issues with mage having trouble sending damage without relying on a teammate(which is the reason a lot of people wanted deep freeze)

Yeah I know, not liking pvp in SL is strange but I’ll be better. I’ll be more positive so I can see you smile
