BUFFEDDevelopers’ notes: Mages have been extending the duration of PvP matches with frequent access to strong defensive abilities, so we’re reducing the effectiveness of their barriers and the cooldown of Ice Block. Fire damage is also being reduced to bring them in line with other specializations.
- Improved Conjuration reduces the cooldown of Mirror Image by 15 sec in PvP combat.
- Winter’s Protection reduces Ice Block cooldown by 15/30 sec in PvP combat. Tooltip in PvP will be updated in a later patch.
