Questions regarding skills & new client

Hello, I’ve notice with the classic client that the games seemed way much more fluid than it used to be, much more like the modern wow. I do love it, but that raised a certain concern which I wasn’t able to test in the beta and I’ve seen no one talk about it so far.

In todays WoW, if you use a skill like Ice Block when a spell is in the air reaching towards you, it will still hit you. You actually have to block before the enemy player cast the spell. While in vanilla, if you saw a spell coming towards you, you could block it or vanish it to absorb the effect. How is it going to work on the actual classic wow ?

Thanks you

There’s a thread going on right now discussing this very issue.

Just noticed the second I posted, thanks
