Talk:Armor of Frost

crap crap crap crap crap. Works great till the warrior just presses F2 and switches...This skill is particularly poor in comparison to Frigid armour (nightfall skill) that 1) provides almost the same amount of armour, 2) recharges faster than it runs out (at high lvls of water magic) 3) provides immunity to SF. Armor of frost needs some serious buffing 88.106.131.8 11:22, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * It gives better armour (if water <15). It lasts longer. It has one second casting time, while you spend 2 seconds on casting frigid armor (it says: "interrupt me!"). So it's not crap - exspecially that water mages rarely use fire spells. Drawbacks are: longer recharge ant bonus only for physical damage. BTW you can use both...Archeont 12:40, 11 January 2007 (CST)
 * Did this spell get nerfed? No more immunity to burning? --67.170.232.253 20:36, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Nevermind, Frigid Armor--67.170.232.253 20:37, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

This spell? Forget about it!
It only gives you armor against physical damage. Can you fit this in your skillbar when you have the option to take Armor of Mist, and Frigid Armor? If you were a Hydromancer, you're telling me you'd actually use this skill when you're limited to 8 skills? If you're that worried about physical damage, take Mist Form.

 * I have to agree - this is a horrible skill. plusses: cheap casting cost, 1 second casting time.  Minuses - it's unmaintainable, only works against physical damage (so only useful in certain areas of PvE) and it's a Water skill and Eles generally only run water at the end of prophecies, getting a couple of masters in nightfall (stop the running rangers and protecting the siege engines) and in PvP.  I'm sure they made the recharge time to prevent farming with it, but as you said, if you're farming physical just use Mist Form.  I generally prefer earth magic for farming except when running is necessary first.--Falseprophet 12:07, 27 January 2007 (CST)
