yeah frost mage npcs have interesting skills. i want a better version of winter's reach. i'll include my document describing AB4.0 because it would legit be the best thing for magden's playstyle as it links both deep fissure and northern storm. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n68B7D2Zna4NNcDCiPp1zYmJP4KDh3n-PsRAI80RLnM/edit?usp=sharing

i'm now actually thinking about designing a stamden specific skill that would be really defining to them and specifically more useful in pve because i do want them to be more unique.

Again, I like the idealism of redesigning skills to fit Stamden, but that's going to be way down the road. These performance changes are going to be the focus for quite a while. We've now seen three major patches this year and this was the first time community suggestions have seen some life beyond passives, and they were all very small-scale. Asking for a wholesale redesign of skills to meet "thematic reasons" right now isn't happening.

As I said before, letting Stamden rot in the cellar for another year because Magdens might get tilted they don't have a stranglehold on frost damage until a full rework comes through is just terrible logic for not making the change.

We don't know when they would do that tbh. We don't know if it would be a year or next patch. They said they weren't going to do big reworks this patch but stamsorc just got crystal weapon. The truth is. We just can't put a date on anything or rule anything out.

The performance update is 100% the focus right now. They've made that abundantly clear, and it's been going on for a while. There's still plenty to do based on their roadmap.

i dunno man, stamsorc got a new spammable. we legit have no idea what they're going to do next patch they give us hints but sometimes the hints but you can't rule anything out. but i do see where you are coming from.
