Blizzard II nerf for BLM too severe

[sakraycore]

We did, it's called Freeze now.

Freeze still sucks compared to old blizzard. 3s for 100 potency vs 2s for 100 potency. Like I said, nerfing blizzard by 50% makes freeze look better, and will make people use it but there's no point of making blizzard II completely useless.

Freeze is also in no way a replacement for what old Blizzard 2 was/is. It is a pbAoE that requires no targeting vs a ranged AoE that requires targeting, and has 50% shorter cast time which is especially useful in PvP which is why I'm guessing it was nerfed. If that's the case, just nerf it for PvP, and keep the PvE version same as old version.

Freeze keeps you out of the red though which was a danger for blizzard 2 and also required you to run to the mobs, and you're telling me that running didn't take a couple seconds (the difference in cast times between blizzard 2 and freeze)?

And if it's so hard to aim, just enable the option to auto-cast ground targets at your mouse cursor position.
