Unique Boots: Icegliders



Spoiler
Icegliders
Crusader Boots

(120-160) increased Armour and Energy Shield
Level 12 Frost Walls surround you after not moving for 3 seconds
60% Arctic Armour Mana drain converted to Mana regeneration
-150 Cold Damage taken when hit while moving
30% reduced maximum mana
Move backwards while casting Cold Spells
You and Your Projectiles can move through Frost Walls

The Icy Wind and the Frozen River move me,
And no mater how you try,
I will continue to fly.
And you will never catch up.


As you can see, the boot are essentially Ice Skates.

The name is taken from a Warcraft 3 custom game of the same name, in which you had to use ice sliding physics to crash into enemies and beat them. You could create obstacles and shoot projectiles to change the course of your enemies or yourself, to spice things up.

60% Arctic Armour Mana drain converted to Mana regeneration


-40% mana regen (remaining drain) + 60% mana regen (converted part) = 20% mana regen
So instead of 229.7 drained mana for a level 20 arctic armour while moving I get 229,7 * 0,2 = 45,94 mana REGEN (which would get all the increased mana regen bonuses) and the arctic armour effects for free? This alone is too much. Then you get a frost wall, which by the way isn't described how it works. Frost Wall has a duration so will it permanently refresh? If yes than you are immune to melee-attackers. I don't want to begin with the rest.

ROFL, you so funny LOL... maybe because not everyone plays the beta?
I was not aware of changes to Arctic Armour in the beta, but have now sought information on it. I hope they make the new version a different skill instead, because it is extremely different to the live version.

I have made a new version of the item accounting for not interacting with Arctic Armour, though.

Vaal Frost Wall would be wiser to have as it circles you as opposed to multiple frost walls. It's definitely a different kind of unique. I think it's far too powerful though.

In what respects is it too powerful?

An auto positioning unqiue that ensures you remain far enough away from mobs to be safe? Hell use this damn thing with whispering ice and you never have to worry about taking damage from anything but like storm calls and flameblast. Imagine cheesing atziri and stuff with these boots.

It needs to drop some part of it, either the frost wall or the positioning to even be close to not being OP.
