anyone else think ice wall should be usable from at least 2 range? In theory it seems useful, but having to be directly adjacent really handicaps it, especially since any one hit breaks a block

Was the main reason I didnt use it. Think it's more useful on battle mages though

I understand what you mean, I have used it once or twice but being so close, unless you planned the move way in advance, then it can be pretty strong imo

I see two ways to adapt this:

- Increase the range, making it castable similar to Nightveil
- Keep the range and make it a battlemage exclusive ability

The issue with having it one space is that your mages need to be positioned on the front lines, and while the wall will block attacks, it doesn't stop them getting targeted by other ranged enemies, often putting them in unnecessary danger.

Icewall is something I think that's better when used in advance. It is very useful when using to block the way when you run away or when you use it with your tanker class's zoc. I totally get that it would be much more useful if we increase the ranges. Currently, I don't think it needs to be but we will take a look into it and see if it really needs to be adjusted.

As Jin Sang mentioned in his comment, we will be closing this out.
