Cold Wave Shackle | Frost Nova Storm

Post by Scranton »

Does anyone have any videos or screenshots of these skills?

Does anyone actually use the Cold Wave series?

The Cold Wave series is pretty much useless, and not many people invest sp in it. I wouldn't count on anyone having a screen of Cold Wave Shackle. As for Frost Nova Storm, I have seen it in some videos. It looks similar to Frost Nova Wind, except the wave of ice is taller, spikier, and overall larger.

Cold wave is useless for PvP. Firstly although the game description claims instant cast you STOP to cast it. Secondly it is pilled away in a flash. Because of this you lose distance if you were trying to snare a runner.

Frost Nova Book 1 and 3 is average. The whole series is NOT for chasing runners. The range is much too short. Book 2 is good for PBAE CC (point blank area of effect crowd control). When a bunch of lowbs zerg you hit Book 2 and everyone's 100% slowed and 50% frozen. Book 1/3 freezes them in a line (no one stands in a line in pvp).

Hope that's useful ;)

if u wanna get cold, dont get anything past lvl 1 except imbue and the nuke. everything else is a waste.

cold wave = just useless
frost nova = can be pilled so all u need is the 1 second
