Ice Armor reads:  "Standing near a frozen enemy or a persistent cold spell reduces all damage you take."  So since Blizzard is a persistent cold spell, will having it active it reduce all of the damage you take?

 

Also, will a fire/ice mine detonate if an enemy is standing on it when the 3s activation delay has expired?  Or do they need to re-enter the radius to trigger it?

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.  I'm trying to decide if I want to unlock the Elementalist or Necromancer next so this information would help a lot.

blizzard and ice armor would make you unkillable in the lower difficulties probably.  I don't know about perilous. 

 

I have a ring that gives +30% damage to Blizzard so that might tip the scales in my favor.

On youtube there's a guy using necromancer solo on routine using blizzard with ice armor.

Yikes, that sounds tempting.  At least it is at the bottom of the tree so you can't abuse it from the start.

 

Any confirmation on how the Mine abilities trigger?  I'm mostly looking at it for the Elementalist and maybe using the Barrier empower to push the damage to ridiculous levels.  Thanks again.

Ice armor only reduces damage by 50%... you are no where near invincible unless you are doing some kind of endless kiting around a blizzard with fade step and fade cloak but even then you would just run out of mana.

I want to say yes but not 100% sure. I done it before but I can't say for sure if it was on them or right next to them. I can test it out tonight.

GOOD!!! more of that.  As long as they have their set their sights or any character that is NOT my current favorite lol.  Keep it up!  I hate nerfs....after a while they make the game so dull and boring you don't enjoy playing it near as much.

Any update on how Mine abilities trigger?

I don't see this getting nerfed.  I've been playing with it a little bit.  The damage output isn't great, and the damage you receive is still noticeable.  Routine difficulty might be a breeze, but it's a breeze on any character at a high level. And on Threatening, it's not anywhere near as effective, and you're gimping yourself of damage potential if you don't bring Walking Bomb.   Walking Bomb hits and ticks for more damage, and it stays with those affected by it no matter where they go, whereas with blizzard if they wander out of the circle they stop taking damage.  Then Walking Bomb also detonates when the DoT expires or an enemy dies, doing yet more damage

Lol. Totally forgot about this. I will try once I have a chance. Been playing necromancer the last couple of days.

Yes for the Mine question.
