Should the changes to Ice Heart be Reverted?

Yes

I have investigated many Immortal Redeemer and Gryphon Heart logs and parses with Iceheart, and the result is it absorbs from %40(really bad procs) to %50(really good procs) of incoming damage.

That saves you from total reFardation. You could use Iceheart and take a shower in meteor storm and still live. Set was broken OP, this is a fact. And it's not like they nerfed it by a very large margin, no need to revert anything.

If anything, they could reduce the cooldown to like... 8-9 seconds? 12 seems bit off the rail. That's all.

Based on your signature it looks like you're just salty that players who you seem to deem below your level are able to get the same achievements as you...

Yes

Iceheart got its 6 seconds cooldown back.

That said, based on some in-game data, testing, and the feedback we’ve been reading, we’re going to make further adjustments to this set in next week’s PTS patch. The plan is to make the baseline function meet the same standards as the Mother Ciannait set, with a 5k shield that lasts up to 6 seconds with a 6 second cooldown. With Iceheart's auxiliary function being focused on preserving the shield to get as much effectiveness out of the damage as possible, and Ciannait around rushing in boldly to break the shield to maximize the Magicka gain, there will be a better parity between the two that helps them both meet our standards as well as feel different from an engagement standpoint.

Not sure what was expected in a poll like this. Maybe try a poll that ask about reverting all nerfs handed down over the past year.

i wanted a visual aid to help get the point across about how angry players are with the change, a picture speaks a 1000 words and all thats and faster than actually reading the what will be 1000's of comments

I expect Zos is aware that a poll like this would result in what we see here. Considering it completely ignores the reasoning they provided it's value seems diminished.

Their reasoning is flawed, because it could be applied on Mother Ciannait aswell. But somehow, I don't understand how, Mother Ciannait inherited old Icehearth CD and dodged the nerfhammer.

So a poll that ignores all that means something? Not at all.

Points well spoken like what Code has provided, that puts things into perspective, say much more than the poll ever could. That is what Zos will listen to rather than a poll that says nothing more than we do not like changes.

Greetings,

Because there is a thread already discussing the changes made to Iceheart in our latest PTS Patch Notes, we are going to close this thread. Please continue the discussion here.

Thank you for your understanding.
