Temporal Shield - This spell is usable while stunned, frozen, incapacitated, feared or asleep.


That just made it the de facto buff (vs. Ice Barrier or Blazing Speed) for PvP. Unless it can be dispelled, you can literally just eat full bursts and then be topped back up almost immediately. It's also off the GCD.


Do they not see the problem with that? Temp Shield > Invis when you start to gain life, and you'll GG back to full 6 seconds later without worrying about being bursted again (90% damage reduction for 3 seconds coming out of invis)

Cloak of Shadows 5 sec spell resist -> prep -> 10 sec spell resist GG BLIZZ???

I hate pandas this expansion gonna be sofa king stupid


On a more serious note; what the fuck man? You don't know anything about the combat phase and PvP Power isn't even implemented on the Beta servers giving people up to 80% damage reduction that can't be negated. Ice Barrier vs non dispellers is god mode (50k), and I can't see in any case where Cold Snap (100k heal crit) would not outperform both Cauterize and Imp. Invis. Just... please... think before posting

PvP power isn't implemented yet, so you make the claim that Ice Barrier is "god mode"? Then you tell me to "think"? Are you forcing yourself to be retarded, or does being stupid come naturally?

Now, what I was implying was Temp Shield in arenas, not in duels vs. some shitters on the beta.


Though I am interested to see how well Cold Snap performs later on when everyone is 90 and PvP gear is out. A crit heal for 20% would be pretty solid, obviously for getting Ice Block back up anyway. The reason I'm somewhat hesitant about Cold Snap though is because while the heal is obviously good, you might have to preemptively use it while you're still topped off to avoid getting gibbed through a couple of silences/stuns, thus losing the added bonus. While on the other hand, you can get topped off still through Invis (especially with the DoT wipe).

We'll see how it plays out. I think Temp Shield is going to outperform Ice Barrier.

Someone kindly pointed out to me that the tooltip to Cold Snap isn't updated properly, and is apparently showing 30% and usable while CC'd. Still kind of a tossup imo.
