I first want to apologize if anything in this message reads as rude, as that's not my intent (hopefully I'm just paranoid about my writing).
I'm an on & off casual player, who mains Ice. Haven't maxed out a wizard yet. But, I just learned the about new Ice spell, and I'm a little confused, and I'm questioning if there's some mal intent towards the school...
The spell is iconic (I believe) cause it's the first Ice healing spell ever. Which is a cool plus, and the mechanics of it are definitely Ice-flavored and I love that aspect. It was debuted along with three other spells that are cool, new, flashy, & useable (in solo play, at least). But, the Ice one...
… am I missing something? Is it really as trash (well, that's a nice way of describing it) as I'm reading it? Is it legitimately a 4-pip self-heal for 300 health with a HUGE drawback (sacrificing three shields)? Or - and I hope this the reason - am I pulling a noob and missing something that's making me grossly misunderstand its utility?
The spell does seem weird to be honest, in terms of effectiveness. The healing is pretty mediocre considering the set-up and the fact that any of those shields will probably save you more health than sacrificing them to heal will.
Edit: Actually, I change my mind. I didn't realize that it also counted traps to pay the cost. This is actually a pretty decent spell.
