Talk:Freezing Gust

In combination with e.g. Shatterstone, does this still count as a hex? Would be nice synergy with Soul Barbs... --86.95.77.21 08:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I was wondering the same thing. While using Mirror of Ice, does this count as a hex spell even if your target is already hexed? For that matter, can this be countered by Hex Breaker? Chao 21:49, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This skill will *always* trigger Mirror of Ice. Even if target is already hexed. 208.125.194.60 11:04, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

The note I added
at 16 Water magic, it still has a six sec duration. the recharge is 5, and the activation 1...now i'm not really sure if this works...you probably also need a casting buff or Glyph of Elemental Power. If yes, this note can be removed, i suppose. Only thought it might be useful to mention the case i thought it could work... —Zerpha The Improver 20:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * With aftercast, I'm not sure that'll work without recharge and/or casting time reducers. Although this is pretty neat mass-spammed, ala Searing Flames. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 21:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 7 sec duration with full water magic and that ele glyph --Cursed Angel [[Image:User_Cursed_Angel_Signature.jpg|19px|talk]] 21:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, aftercast delay is 0.75 for most spells, right? Then one will probably need another skill that helps, e.g. the Glyph. Makes 5+1+.75=6.75...should work then. Hmm, right, the skill has a non-AoE but similiar effect like SF. If X, then do Y, otherwise, do Z...sth like that. But wait: it's a hex, yes...but if the target is not hexed with another WM Hex, will Freezing Gust only cause damage? Or will the target suffer the damage and be Hexed with the Gust? —Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 17:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I tried it out in-game, it have a 5 sec recharge and 1 sec cast time, therefore you cant hit your foe within the 6 sec duration, however if you use glyph of elemental powers the duration will be 7 seconds and it will work. --Cursed Angel [[Image:User_Cursed_Angel_Signature.jpg|19px|talk]] 17:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Also found out that if you cast Chilling Winds and then Freezing Gust the duration of Freezing Gust gets increased instead of damaging the foe as Freezing Gust should do as Chilling Winds is a hex. --Cursed Angel [[Image:User_Cursed_Angel_Signature.jpg|19px|talk]] 17:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * looks like an anomaly or a bug. —Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 21:06, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Read more imo. Air isn't water afaik. Lord of all tyria 21:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * didnt bother reading lol, and ive never played ele, and i wont try it either. --Cursed Angel [[Image:User_Cursed_Angel_Signature.jpg|19px|talk]] 21:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's the second time I've had the "didnt bother reading" excuse used on me today lol. Lord of all tyria 21:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * whoops, also didn't read the skill good enough. looked like a Water Magic spell...i mean, it's named "Chilling", does cold dmg and has no 25% armor penetration, has ice shown in the icon, and affects water magic hexes^^ but ok, it's called "Winds". :P —Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 17:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Tohn doesn't have it... 78.0.128.17 11:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No, he doesn't. Does someone know which skill trainer offers this skill and can update this page? 12.216.38.18 03:54, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

The description needs to be specific... If the target already has a hex, and takes damage, is the slowing effect still applied? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:82.15.15.120 (talk).

Where to find?

 * Tohn does have Freezing gust, but you have to unlock it with Balthazar faction beforehand. Also, does this recieve Mirror of Ice's conditional damage if the target is already under a water magic hex? Chao 15:49, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * don't list skill trainers that have a skill that you had to unlock first, also.. it alwats gets MoI's damage78.20.153.111 12:33, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It will also be unlocked once you first unlock Zhed Shadowhoof on a character. 173.20.48.178 05:29, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
