Make Blizzard II A Longer Range Spell

It is so annoying when I am doing synced content (when i don't have access to Freeze) and I am in my Ice phase and I try to use Blizzard II like Fire II because I keep on forgetting it is a close range spell. Make it like Fire II, and possibly have it be replaced by Freeze.

Agreed.
I don't see any reason it should be centered on you.
If anyone understands please enlighten me.

Just stay close to the tank instead of hanging back in Narnia

Better to stick next to the healer... who should also be standing far enough back Bliz 2 won't do much.

WHMs and SCHs should be right in the middle of the fray too, Holy/AoW spamming. ASTs are the ranged AoEers.

Healer should be next to the tank too, especially if it's a SCH or WHM.

Plus if you have a tank, you aren't taking damage.

This game is already incredibly easy, stop trying to make it completely brain dead.

Blizz 2 should just augment into freeze at higher levels.

I fully thought bliz2 should just upgrade to freeze for the longest. I forget it is on my hotbars more often than not.

I haven't played any healer but AST in too long.
You are correct and I retract my foolish comment~

You're right.
I was mainly thinking about dodging AoEs.

B2 is great for when you're running solo unsynced and can't be bothered to keep targeting stuff that immediately dies.

The more annoying part is not the melee range - in these low level dungeons the enemys don't spam that many AoE's - but that Blizzard 2 does not upgrade into Freeze. I thought this problem was fixed a few years ago, but somehow they forgot about these upgrades when they changed Freeze into a valuable skill with ShB release and now we have to place an outdated skill on our hotbar for the occassional low level dungeon in leveling roulette.

Changing Blizzard 2 into a long range skill would be a nice quality of life upgrade nonetheless.

To be fair to you, if you are sync'd and need to use B2, then your healers wont have there aoes at the time :P
