Save the arctic blast skill!

Arctic blast should stay as it is.

Its funny how so many are fighting for the stun that you can out run in PvP I know I was doing it last night in Cryodill and was funny. The reason the old version was better was it had a 100% chance to lock enemy's down on cast which was a much better use in PvP then PvE to many but many used it for that in PvE for stacking trash in AOE's so they enemy's could be burned down. Even with the gripping shards and ice wall combo the chance to do what gripping shards, ice wall and arctic blast could do in dungeons is no where as good and in fact has no effect on doing that unless you use a charged staff and even then its a much lower chance then the 100% we had before.

Yes Polar winds is great yeah heal myself and get a tick heal oh and burst heal an ally and yes in this update do to the change maturation and its uptime of minor toughness it is ok but Vigor apply's it better then any of the classes heals. But when you take arctic blast and makes its stun travel so slow its easy to out run and dodge its useless to a much greater degree and now makes the skill only useful in PvP.

As for one last thing the passive skill Glacial Presence only works for 2 skills effectively now cause even the pull that does frost damage can proc the chilled and chance of immobilize is to low but dots give a better chance of it in the wall of elements on ice staff thats another reason why arctic blast was better.

But to bad the skill will not see any changes if ever now do to the launch of the DLC.

the damage of blast should have been added to base skill. They just needed to fix the coding as it was proccing maim at to higher rate for its damage type. then have one morph heal allies and the other stuns etc, but both should deal damage.
