Ice Bolt / Ice Blast

[Triumph]

Ice Blast's effect seems to last longer and slow more.

And it looks better.

Good info to know. I thought fireball was a ripoff. Now I know not to empower it.

yeah, i found out tht i die more due to the longer cast time. why does it always happen to me only? i really dislike those cast time stuff, preferring instant.

That's true. Ice Blast only comes into on the first round of casting in a solo situation. I can usually spam Magic Missle (LVL1), Firebolt (LVL8), and Magic Blast (LVL1) to kill something before the cooldown is even over on this spell. It's pretty but you only get one time chance to use it if your a decent mage. If you have time to use it again on yellow/orange-tagged enemies, you might need to redistribute some attribute/skill points, unless you wlecome death.

It's nice to have in groups as well because it is almost always guaranteed to slow down the enemy it targets, unlike Icebolt (I think it works 75% of the time). When you get Frost Nova at lvl 60, you can move this spell to the archive list.

Fire ball will eventually exceed fire bolt in damage; great skill especially if you land a critical hit. :/

Yes it does. If you have the Cash Spark loot, you can reset the points (like I do every 10 levels) to make adjustments to your spell damage when you outgrow old spells for the best mage performance. Just a suggestion for the working class and those with platinum cash spark status lol!

for some reason i can get ice bolt to stick better than ice blast, case in point: in the old KKP KQ, slowing Robo down during the running of him to the end, Ice Bolt stuck probably 75% of the time, Ice Blast about 25%. just an observation.

woulda been nice if this skill, instead of lightning was castable while running.

[EdwardWarlock]

Maybe I'm just getting lucky with my Ice Blasts then. It's so pretty and it sticks everytime just about.

[Jikanu]

hm... im not a mage, but may i make a suggestion?

why not, durring pve, cast ice blast, and then use ice bolt the rest of the time? that way, since iceblast seems to be considered superior in terms of slowdown and success (by most here at least) you could gain aggro with it, and then use icebolt later in the battle if needed.

useless skill.
