Dude. Just stop. This is pathetic.
Also, I’ve been playing IG from day 1. Mobs run through my Ice Shower at full speed 9 times out of 10.
Fanboys? Lmao
Jumping out of ice shower has been talked about well before Xaryu said anything. It’s not fanboys lmao

At current patch Ice Gauntlet is just bugged and pretty balanced. On PTR it makes it trash weapon that noone should use, cause it has no real value. Ice Shower is the only counter for GA/WH and its even easy to dodge, not to mention jumping out of it. Current PTR changes are disgusting and will make a lot of people quit because of GA/WH meta. Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet already have really hard time to kill any GA/WH player with heavy armor. You make 1 mistake and you are dead. If these changes go live, there won’t be any counter for that. Wars are going to be 30 man running GA/WH, few Life Staff with Void Gauntlets and that’s it.
See the issue here is AGS is not good at design. Let’s look at their choices.
Water mark system this is pure garbage.
Static spawn resources lazy 1990 game design.
Weapon smith legendary weapons BOP. We’re as armoring smith is not.
Furnishing requires some of the most intense materials in addition it randomly also takes 4.2x the amount of xp to level then ANY other profession. Where it does NOT make as much money as lets say Armor smithing.
Multiple unfun time gated design choices.
Every single quest in this game is a bad boring design.
Yes I agree.
Agreed. Whoever the community moderators are, I get silencing freedom of speech is an iffy subject but there needs to be a clear set of rules for trolling. We cannot have a healthy debate when trolls come into here to just spout nonsense.

You literally can’t move while rooted unless you have hatchet berserk to cancel it.
Still no response from the devs huh. How many likes does it take to get a reply?

You have to be crazy to think that being frozen in place for 10+ seconds by a single player, with almost no counter, is balanced.
Dude you can just jump. Press jump once, you’re out of the shower.

You can’t
you can watch Everything Wrong With New World's Game Balance - YouTube he will show this in the video… If you dont know how the ice gauntlet works, there is no need for u to speak about it… people like u made the gauntlet worse
Ok but I have used ice gauntlet myself, it is fine except for Ice Chill and Pylon being kinda useless. Ice Spike also useless to an extent, but can do massive dmg if it lands. And roots are way too OP/ez mode.
also, You can’t jump while rooted.
In that video near the middle, he is dueling a great axe + shield user. Why the hell should ice gauntlet win at melee range vs a melee user? Shield is arguably the best hard counter to all ranged weapons, so its to be expected that he gets owned.
Plus he literally charges towards the MELEE USER with burnout, wtf sort of mage does that? Does he even understand what “kiting” is?
The only nerfs that should be to ice gauntlet is to nerf the freezes/roots.
The nerf to ice tomb’s damage is totally uncalled for, that is one of my favorite abilities in game actually. Since you are baiting melee to break open the tomb and then surprise them with big aoe damage instead.
Wind chill and pylon should be improved, and maybe change ice spike a bit to make it more reliable.
And for fire staff, remove or improve pillar of fire because tiny ground target AOEs are lame (fireball is a waaaay nicer ability in comparison).
This right here is the way. Survivor bias might make us nerf the great axe but it was the weapon that survived. Make more weapons compete with the great axe in their own way. If ppl love it, keep it the way it is and buff the others so people love their weapons.
I LOVE bow. I love rapier too but man rapier feels soooooo gd weak. With rapier it feels so good when you riposte someone and then evade into a backstab but then you see their health bar go down 1% lol. With rapier you have to constantly outplay your opponent and they only have to outplay you once.
Give rapier rend in its bleed tree and then people might use it. Sundering riposte helps for sure. But it would be a nice passive in bleed.
Spear is amazing. I love the spear but it’s moves are painfully easy to dodge. Again sundering javelin is great if you can land it.
Don’t nerf good weapons. Buff the bad ones.
but why should they nerf a class that is bugged out all the way??? fix first the issues on the class before you even work on nerfing a class to the ground… i understand them changing the root with a cooldown. But u can jump out of the ice wall + roots what makes no sense.

Yes I have said alot on forums that bugs need to fixed before doing balance changes.
The only change should be to heavy freeze because it is just ridiculously strong, bugs aside.
The 10 other changes to mages are totally uncalled for.
You can’t jump out of roots, people are spreading false information about jumping.
