Skill Usage
Blizzard is a sustained AOE spell for dealing with multiple fire/earth monsters. It deals a moderate amount of damage per second to multiple enemies for 10 seconds channeled, resulting in a huge amount of total damage over time with high mana consumption. The spell has a large enough radius that it can hit multiple monsters that are slightly spreaded out from each other without missing most of the time, unlike Ice Spikes, which has a drastically smaller radius. Generally, a mage will prefer either Blizzard or Ice Spikes depending on their playstyle.
Blizzard is a lot easier to use than Ice Spikes, not reliant on the player's ability to hit to a certain extent and providing a lower APM for comfortable play. Against certain monsters, the multiple hits can slow down monsters actions (including enemy players in PvP, acting as a defensive wall), preventing them from easily escaping. When combined with the Charm of Blizzard, it allows the character to perform another action while Blizzard is ongoing, making it an extremely powerful option.
Notes
- Moving too early will break the channeling, wasting your mana.
- At level 22, Charm of Blizzard doubles the casting time (from 1.5 seconds to 3 seconds) of Blizzard and removes the penalty of having to channel the skill, however it increases it's cooldown by 5 seconds. Removing the channeling allows you to use other skills such as Icicle in between to inflict greater damage. It is possible to have two Blizzards active at a time, but only for a short while (between 2 to 5 seconds depending on how fast you can cast the skill).
