IG Ice Storm still bugged?

Bug

So Ice Storm now seems to actually proc against enemies inside of it but it seems to only be ticking the initial cast of the spell. After the initial damage it doesn't continue to tick damage. It applies the 25% slow but doesn't seem to cause continual damage. Anyone else noticing this?

​

Edit: This is post 1.0.5 update.

​

Edit 2: I swapped out an armor piece that had "Unending Thaw" on it and Ice Storm works fine now.

Ice storm works now. But only ticks for one damage if you have “unending thaw” on any armor pieces

You are 100% correct. Change my leggings and now it works right. Thanks!

If you're using an item with the 'enduring ice storm' perk, that's still bugged, and has been bugged since closed beta.

I swapped my leg armor out that has "unending thaw" on them and it works fine now. Thanks.

Sorry I had the perk name wrong, but yeah that's the one. It's been reported 100 times. Devs just don't give a flying F about fixing it

Still disappears when you swap weapons...

Yeah hopefully that's next to be fixed.

That's only if you're running the third perk. Probs because the 10% per enemy perk is tied to Ice Gauntlet so when you swap it breaks the persist.

It's sorta irrelevant though if you think about it. Either you cast Ice Storm followed by Ice attacks or your opponent/enemy runs out of it, in which case it doesn't matter.

That is a very good point honestly. Hadn’t considered that really.

Yeah, I was getting frustrated until I realise it's basically a skill-checker/noob tester perk. Like why should I even switch to Fire after Ice Storm and if anyone is still in it, I should be focusing them with Ice attacks anyway.

It secretly trains you to play better lol

None of the AOE's are working right. Unless they fixed it last night after I went to sleep, flame pillar and ignite were not working for me, and I would imagine meteor shower had the same issue. I don't think my poison arrow is hitting as much as it should either.

They fixed them with 1.0.5 which came out this morning.

"Fixed" We will see.

Pillar of Fire has been working great for me since the update thankfully!

Good, I switched to dex cause I maxed my staff and guantlet but that Pillar was a lot of damage. Try to find armor with the "refreshing flame pillar" perk, it's super broken. Instant cooldown on groups of 3+.
