Winter's Revenge: Range: 28 meters, Target: Ground.
Conjure icy shards at the target location to skewer enemies in the area, dealing [780 / 788 / 797 / 804] Frost Damage every 1 second for 12 seconds. This damage increases by 30% if cast with a Destruction Staff equipped. Enemies hit are overcome with bitter cold, reducing their Movement Speed by 30% for 3 seconds.

Impaling Shards deals Frost Damage and reduces the Movement Speed of all nearby enemies. The damage dealt is based off of your Maximum Health. The Gripping Shards morph also Immobilizes affected enemies, while Winter's Revenge allows you to cast the effect at a distance, and also increases the damage dealt based on your offensive stats instead and deals greater damage if cast with a destruction staff equipped.

Notes[edit]

Patch Notes[edit]

  • In an effort to reduce the visual effect noise in group combat situations, we've hidden most visual effects from persistent damaging area of effect abilities cast by your allies. Area of effect abilities that have a synergy, healing, or defensive component that can benefit you will still be visible, and area of effect abilities cast by enemies will also still be visible.
  • Fixed an issue where the visual effects of this ability and its morphs did not persist for the full duration of the effect.
  • Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs were being removed before dealing their last tick of damage.
  • Fixed an issue where these abilities were being calculated as Direct Damage rather than Damage over Time.
  • Updated the tooltips of these abilities to mention their increased chance to apply the Chilled Status Effect.
  • Impaling Shards and Gripping Shards: Increased the damage dealt by these abilities by 30% to put them on par with other AoE DoTs, such as Winter's Revenge.
  • Winter's Revenge (morph): Fixed an issue where this morph could snare enemies through walls.
  • Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 4536 from 3510, and increased the damage per tick by approximately 9%.
  • Winter's Revenge (morph): Decreased the damage per tick by approximately 29%.
  • Winter's Revenge (morph):
    • Increased the damage of this morph by approximately 44%. This will allow it stand out from other Damage over Time abilities.
  • Reduced the damage per tick of this ability and Gripping Shards by approximately 25%.
    • Gripping Shards (morph): Reduced the cost of this morph to 2970, down from 3240.
    • Winter's Revenge (morph):
      • Decreased the damage per tick of this morph by approximately 55%.
      • This morph now deals 30% more damage if you cast it with a Destruction Staff equipped, to help it stand out more for the spell caster focused Wardens.
