Should Polar winds get the stun

DanteYoda

Instead of Arctic Blast..

Yes or No, Pretty simple.

SilverIce58

Yes. Its already got the heal, just add the stun. Leave us frost mages arctic blast.

Other than being scummy why do you disagree? I mean can you explain your reasoning behind not adding it to the more useless morph to make it better without ruining the better one.

Actually, i dont think either morph should get the stun. Give it back to the shalk skill.

yup

I'm in agreement but i'm mostly just trying to follow the reps opinions and devs ideas.

Yes!! Definetly YES. I already shared my thoughts about this change but i'll do it here again. I'd add stun to Crystallized Slab so people have to make a smarter decision while chosing morph (either stun or major heroism). And rather rework the Polar Wind morph to always go on the highest max hp ally nearby and add the HoT benefit to the ally healed too.

I prefer Polar Wind in PvE, especially next update due to Wardens hogging all the Minor Toughness. So if ZOS is gonna replace the heal with a stun, that's no good

As for Arctic Blast... I don't have a preferrence between the live and PTS versions

Why would you opt out of an Aoe damage skill over minor toughness? Do you not use Ice Fortress?

I would give the aoe dmg to the base skill and then add the stun to arctic blast. Maybe reduce the number of ticks though since the skill would have many effects then.

It might work but not using a morph feels weird..

Polar Wind should be given a health scaling aoe ice dot so Healthdens can utilize the glacial presence passive and Arctic Blast should be given a cost decrease and a mag scaling single target ice dot so Magdens can finally have a good class based stun

Very much agree, to this day i have no idea why they took stun from Shalk

They removed the stun from shalk because they want to gradually increase the time to kill in PvP by reworking all high damage stuns... However with Deep Fissure specifically, the stun removal change was done in a vacuum to an already underperforming class that had very few cc alternatives so it had disastrous consequences...

Yes

More precisely, Live Blast should be moved to the Base Morph.
Then Polar will have the weak damage associated and be the Tank morph
And the New Blast can be the Stun, and shift to scaling on Max Mag and Spell Damage.

I'd rather they add stuns to flies and all of its morphs.. would make those skills far more interesting and popular.

I meant that both polar and arctic would inherit the aoe dmg hence why i said to reduce the number of ticks

Actually, a stun to swarm sounds pretty nice. Just add it to the double damage one, and not the growing swarm one.

Yes

Arctic blast should be based off magicka and spell damage too
