Ice Block Vs Other immunities

If you’re going to make ice block do NOTHING other than make us immune, you need to remove mass dispel from it. You cannot mass dispel turtle, but they can at least move…?

Reevaluate your old designs. They are wildly flawed in the current state of the game.

You’re on a “I hate hunters rant “ aren’t cha? Second thread I’ve seen from you about hunters lol.

It heals you though, doesn’t it? And can’t you just cast it a second time?

In return for undispellable block, you get a wendy’s secret menu of abilities that just go through block for no reason, and you can no longer cast it in stuns. You also no longer get to block in-flight spells.

Phenomanon, Do doo be-do-do. Ice block is fine, if you want to you can talent that one that just makes you take less damage. Kinda weird how every specs immunity is different and despite being dispellable, you can’t just keep pumping during it like ret can.

I disagree. If there’s any problem with mages it’s definitely not ice block. I prefer they still keep some semi-sense of uniqueness between classes instead of giving everyone the same things.

You also have the option of the 70% wall Block talent (forgot the name off the top of my head I’m on my phone) that allows you to move and cast.

Wait. Is someone in this thread actually trying to argue that turtle is better than ice block? Really?

turtle doesn’t remove all debuffs like ice block does, and you can’t press turtle while in cc, so there’s pros/cons to both. Most people would argue ice block is overall better

Hunters do an OBSCENE amount of damage to mages.

It’s so unfair :joy:

man you still complain about everything huh lol
get good, you can steal pi which is the only purgable major cd in the game xd

also turtle isnt even a full immunity and is awful in comparison to block

Technically hunter’s turtle is not a magical spell. It’s an ability that makes all attacks miss. Hence it cannot be dispelled. Everything works as intended.

Getting shot actually hurts

LOL no, 50x blink, roots, spam cc, double block (heals you on top of damage stop, nice hand holding for your healer), great instant and sustain damage, spell steal, longest kick. MD being able to take off bubble/block makes total sense in the current game because of how strong Mages and Paladins are currently.

I can also kill a hunter right through this if they use it too late, like the last few ticks of Void Torrent when all dots are up fresh. I can’t kill you through block the same way. Locks and DK can/could also do this (dk when Soul Reaper was actually good in mop, many great memories of hunters using deter 1/2 way through the countdown only to flop 3s later)

Turtle is trash.

You get multiple blocks. You can use it while in CC. It stops ALL damage immediately. It heals you.

Turtle you have to use a trinket to use. It doesn’t stop all damage. It doesn’t stop damage in the air. You have one charge.

I would gladly take block over turtle any day.

Dont you also get a huge heal from Iceblock?

40-80% over the duration if you put a point or two into cryo-freeze.

I hate hunters too but at least they they turtle at 1% they die to dots. Mages, not so much. In fact, unless someone has a way to break it, you come back at full HP with your infinite mobility off cd.

I would trade turtle for ice block any day of the week.
