Related Patch Notes

Patch LinkDatePatch NamePatch Notes
Version 19.080.125 April 2022Lands Awakened Patch 8Frost Staffs were dominant in various areas of the game. With their peak damage output when stacking multiple cast time modifiers, they outshone most other ranged DPS. While keeping this playstyle generally intact, the damage output of Ice Shard has been reduced slightly, to lower the peak DPS that Frost Staffs can reach. In addition, as Freezing Wind had a large CC area on a relatively low cooldown, this cooldown has been increased.
  • Ice Shard (all Frost Staffs):
    • Damage vs players: 125 -> 118
  • Freezing Wind (one-handed Frost Staff)
    • Cooldown: 15s -> 18s
Version 18.090.128 July 2021Call to Arms Patch 9Frost Staffs

Once one of the most feared weapons in large-scale fights, the Glacial Staff has unfortunately fallen off the meta significantly. To help bring back this unique playstyle, the damage output has been increased, and some utility improvements have been made including increased cast range and making cast direction independent of cast position.

  • Ice Storm (Glacial Staff):
    • The cast direction can now be chosen after the cast position
    • Cast range: 5m → 10m
    • Ice Storm travel distance: 23m → 18m
    • Damage per Tick (vs players): 60 → 72
    • Damage per Tick (vs mobs): 20 → 25
Version 18.040.16 May 2021Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch)Frost Staffs

Freezing Wind has a much larger area that also stays on the ground briefly, making it easier to hit enemies or block choke points. To offset this significant buff and allow for more counterplay, the root will now not instantly affect the target, but instead stacks up quickly, so it is possible to blink out before getting rooted.

Hoarfrost has struggled with its unique identity among the other Q abilities. With this patch it now has a 6m AoE radius, making it the best Q ability to spread damage among multiple enemies. This makes it less powerful in focusing down one target, but adds constant pressure to enemy healers as it hits multiple targets repeatedly.

  • Hoarfrost (all Frost Staffs):
    • Cast Time: 2s → 1.8s
    • Damage to main target: 150
    • Splash Damage to other enemies in the AoE 150 → 110
    • Radius: 4m → 6m
    • Cast Range: 14m → 12m
  • Freezing Wind (One-handed Frost Staff):
    • Area size and duration increased
    • Area no longer roots instantly - instead applies 3 cc stacks in quick succession:
      • Stacks: 1 / 2 / 3 → Effect: Slows 15% / Slows 30% / Roots for 2.5s
Version 1.17.410.1844512 February 2021Rise of Avalon Patch 13 (Balance Patch)Frost Staffs

    • The slow effect no longer increases over time; instead, enemies inside the area are always slowed by 30% (ignoring crowd control resistance)
    • Damage vs Players: 45 → 60
    • Cast Time: 1.5s → 1s
  • Frozen Hell (Icicle Staff):
    • Cast Range: 11m → 14m
    • The slow is now applied independent of CC reduction; all enemies stay slowed while in the area
