Ice block should regenerate your health like when polymorph generates your enemies health. Get it done blizzard.

Some classes are allowed to be more independent, some are not. Mages are not.

We should be able to self-polymorph for the heal

That would be good, 5% each second of ice block so 50% in total is enough.

ok remove polymorph then to keep it balanced
Or perhaps nerf common Mage partners like Rogues and Druids instead.
You know, since removing Polymorph would mean our sole loss of control effect would be Ring of Frost. Itâs bad enough that weâre the only class without a hard CC or a class-based heal, go jump on someone who deserves it.

Could be ok as a talent for frost or something. Self-poly would be better though, would be no stronger than zandi racial then but more fun.
At what point did you choose priest as the class you are playing with ice block as one of your spells?
Yeah, thats what I thought.

a little healing of 15% or 20% health id agree to that, cmon, that little healing every 5 mins? its reasonable, handy and unharmful
It did heal in WoD. Should have stayed that way.

Then take away your perma sheild your massive shield is your defense
âmassiveâ lmaoooo. It goes away after like 2 hits it doesnât block a thing, and itâs on 25 seconds cd. It literally absorbs 35k damage. Itâs nothing. If a pally or a rogue stuns you that shield is just as useful as a frostbolt.
You have all the slowing and roooting tools to survive if you cant as frost you are plain bad.
Now fire and arcane i couldundundersrabd with heals but not frost.
Mages are still in pvp ine of the best classes to play and have in a lot of comps you dont need much if. Anything.
Give deedeep freeze back.
On top of that strip some melee classes of jumps and engages its out of hand right now.
Strip all dps classes of self healing re introduce first aid.
Where do people get this? I see this all the time and Iâve never understood it.
Itâs a 20% (22% for Frost) of max hp shield on a 25 second CD, for me thatâs a 62k shield, basically sod-all in the grand scheme. Youâre lucky if absorbs 1-3 hits with the ridiculous damage some classes put out.
It is also dispellable, meaning itâs effectively worthless against Priests, Shaman and Demon Hunters.
Frost is the weakest out of two pvp specs what are you talking about lol. Every single ability is interruptable and every single ability is frost. If a rogue kicks you - you are done you canât even use frost nova.
If as a hunter you lose to a frost mage in pvp you need to quit wow and play tetris instead.
Im talking 3v3 not 1v1 hence i said access toTEAM COMPS
IMO, I reckon it should heal too. If we look at Ice Block as a ââweakerââ version of Divine Shield;
-Paladins are able to heal while using it, using up mana for them is not an issue as all of their attacks are really low mana consuming. So why shouldnât mages get at least 1 healing defensive and allowing them that mana for their mana heavy spells?
-The actual ââhealingââ defensive (you just get your same HP back) as of now is Temporal Shield, which I usually see it being used wrongly (As in bad timing)
The main point is that since BFA/Legion, they simplified all classes in order to make them more ââuniqueââ and balance and it ended up being âuse these 4 buttons cause thatâs all you getâ (Which donât really fit the Archmage class fantasy very well, tbh). And if they believe Ice Block should not heal, it wonât.
Oh wellâŚ
