How to absolutely very simply balance Ice gauntlet

Simply remove the part of ice shower that blocks dodging after the root.
They get a root a simple root after from heavy why should you not be able to dodge afterwards.
Its literaly all that simple.

I don’t understand if that dodge-prevention is intended or not. Is it some perk?

if you read through the skill its the Debuff Frostbite that is still applied 3 seconds after leaving the shower so ur unable to dodge 3 seconds after leaving the stun / root which is absolute bollocks.

So it’s the never-ending thaw thing right? . Indeed it’s strong AF

Everything in this game needs to be balanced not just the Ice Gauntlet. I wish they’d just remove stagger, root entirely from the game. No one likes them and no one wants them. But it is forced upon us.

Can we dodge roll out of any of the following after being hit with these? If so let me know. Because as far as I can tell we can’t.

  • Spear Sweep? [10s cd]
  • Spear Vault Kick [15s cd]
  • Hammer Path of Destiny stagger [22s cd]
  • Hammer Shockwave? [20s cd]
  • Great Axe Gravity Well [30s CD]
  • Void Gauntlet Scream [15s CD]

I know I am missing several others.

i think good solution would be like 90% slow but u still able to dodge. Same goes for stupid void gauntlet root

Yes you can dodge roll out of some of them with the buggy backroll -
These ones are rollable - Spear sweep, Path of destiny, Hammer shockwave
Its not a dodge but I dont understand how it works but you basically rollback and get out of the stun. Nobody can tell me how that works
Check 0:55 of my video how he rolls off after the sweep and he is not light armor so he isnt even supposed to roll :smiley:

This wouldn’t balance anything and instead would completely gut the IG.

You can in fact roll out of this. You just have to time your dodge properly once it hits you. You can actually roll out of any move that is a knockdown. So Sweep, Javelin, and Wrecking Ball as of now.

Edit: Possibly Clear Out too but I haven’t tried it.

yeah the root + heavy freeze should be buffed and dodge cancel removed or nerfed

the devs actually commented on this. it is meant to be a get out of stagger spam in pve mechanic. unfortunately it effects pvp as well…
