Related Patch Notes

Patch Link	Date	Patch Name	Patch Notes
Version 19.080.1	25 April 2022	Lands Awakened Patch 8	Frost 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 18.090.1	28 July 2021	Call to Arms Patch 9	Frost 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 18.040.1	6 May 2021	Call 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 1.17.410.184451	2 February 2021	Rise of Avalon Patch 13 (Balance Patch)	Frost Staffs Frost Nova (all Frost Staffs): Reworked hit detection: it is now an instant explosion and no longer freezes enemies who touch the area after the initial teleportation Damage: 85.80 → 70 Stun Duration: 1.26s → 1s
Version 1.17.406.181307	10 December 2020	Rise of Avalon Patch 11	Frost Staffs Frozen Crystal (Chillhowl): Cast Range: 15m → 12m
Version 1.17.406.179120	16 November 2020	Rise of Avalon Patch 9	Frost Staffs Frozen Hell (Icicle Staff): Slow Strength: 75% → 50%
Version 1.17.406.177096	21 October 2020	Rise of Avalon Patch 7 / Brimstone & Mist Midseason Update and Hotfix 7.1	Frost Staffs Ice Storm (Glacial Staff): 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
Version 1.17.403.172369	12 August 2020	Rise of Avalon Update and Hotfix 1, 2	Added a display to several major UIs showing the estimated current Silver value of the items they contain. Affected UIs: Inventory Loot Banks, Chests, Battlevaults Hideout Recovery Tabs Player Trading Item details
