View Full Version : Breeze - Freeze Intended to Work in PvP?



Zeus
11-30-2014, 12:39 PM
Here are the current Breeze mechanics:

• When activating AA, nearby enemies receive a freeze which lasts .5 seconds, effectively interrupting charged skills.

• When activating AA, a light blue pool appears and targets the closest person near the pet.

• When walking through epicenter of circle, one receives a 6-7 second freeze.

• The passive at L15 also freezes and seems to have a high chance at freezing.

• Ignores stun immunity and is a new type of stun, much like when terrify came around.



Is this intended to work in this fashion in PvP? The auto target pool is pretty OP - even S&S does not auto target.

Additionally, if freezes are allowed, why not just give sorcerers their freeze back? The whole point of their ice being nerfed was that freeze is too OP in PvP, right? So, how does this pet be allowed such capabilities? Either fix it to be slows in PvP or give sorcerers their freeze back.

Actually give sorcs a SHORT freeze, and remove from the pet.
That Way everyone can stop saying "NERF THIS CLASS" "GIVE US MORE BUFFS" right?

They're pretty much giving away sorcerer skills in the form of a pet. What's the point? The logic just does not seem to be there.

While PvPing, at one point, I was frozen by pool, then frozen by passive, then stunned, and topped off with a panic. I don't get why there is stun immunity if developers keep implementing stuns that circumvent the stun immunity.

It should respect stun immunity that's all. I like the fact everyone can have access to this interesting pet.

SnS should be fixed too, it does more damage than a rogue and heals faster than a war but sns is NOT FIXED.

Yes, it should respect stun immunity if this is how the pet plans to be.

If it were to be granted stun immunity, A. It'd lose all usefulness, seeing as Mages are the only class that don't have a stun immunity skill. B. It'd still be more useful than the mage Ice skill, seeing as that skill doesn't freeze in pvp...
What we have here is another classic example of a weapon/pet doing a Mages job 100% better than a mage could :(

And the type of stun it is. Panic does not follow stun immunity countdown. Freeze works the same way as panic but lasts much longer.

Think you're confusing which stun immunity I'm referring to. I'm referring to the countdown one, not the immunity one is granted under skills like juggernaut and razor shield.

It is. This has a higher chance to apply freeze, the passive is ranged, and the freeze lasts significantly longer than a terrify or stun.

When PvP first started, we (sorcerers) accepted that we are the weakest class in terms of stats, but we had the ability to stun enemies, so that was our one advantage which evened the playing field. But now with the other 2 classes having stun immunity skills, and the stun immunity rules that were introduced in season 4, and with all these new pets that have new kinds of stuns that don't follow the stun immunity rules, sorcerers have gone from the class that does the most stunning to the class that gets stunned the most. So now we really don't have any advantage over other classes, and plenty of disadvantages.

And even in PvE, we are the least desired class. I can't remember the last time I saw someone in guild chat asking "need sorcerer for tombs/arena party". It's always "need tank" or "need rogue" or "need dps" (which means they want a rogue but will settle for sorcerer). The first boss in tombs needs to be stunned to beat him, but none of my sorcerer skills actually works to stun him, instead a pet must be used. So of what use is a sorcerer in beathing this boss? It would seem the best party in PvE is a warrior and 3 rogues.

In PL the mages were desired in parties because they could revive. But STS has not given us that ability here in AL. And it's a shame, because that would really make us a desired class again, especially with all the ankhs needed in the tombs. Too bad.

25-28 seconds.

The thing with S&S is that you can avoid the pools. Breeze, however, specifically targets a player and lands the pool on that player. If any player is near that player, they all get freezed.

So, there's really no way to step around it like there is with S&S.

Sorry, but it's warriors people don't want in pve. Pve is a mage and rogue world. I don't know if your guilds are pvp guilds or what, but this statement is inaccurate for that area of the game. My guild isn't even large, but our mages are certainly in high demand, always, for both pve and pvp.

i have not seen breeze in pvp or at all but if it freezes the way zeus has described then it definitely need to be nerfed.
the aa seems fine but a high chance of freeze on passive is crazy
if it was stun/panic/terrify then it would be fine because the time is lowered but a freeze is op.
if not then there needs to be freeze immunity as well....
sts please look into this...

11-30-2014, 08:42 PM
Lol the first time Breeze hit me in PvP I was like wth just happened? Freeze lasts as long as Nordr ice pools and has zero immunity which means a team of people who farm their butts off to get 125 fragments (or buy it for 3-4m+) can keep a team potentially stunned forever. I certainly hope this is unintended for PvP; STS could make it a slow like Frostir's in PvP and continue to freeze in PvE.

Actually... That pet is better than arcane pets which makes no sense. If I'm gonna be stuck whole game, I don't wanna play. The frozen pool is too op.. It's stun isn't even a chance... It's 100% freeze. I totally agree with nerfing, I'm not with giving mages freeze back... That's unfair. They already have shield and the stunlock they have is crazy.

This is the reason nekro is a worthless pet. Btw guys don't you relize pets need to get stronger same goes with arcane pets but every time a pet pet comes out and stronger people yell Nerf neerf nerf . omg this game will never progress so because this freeze is better then pets freeze seasons ago it needs to stay the same? If you find the pet so op in PvP then maybe you shouldn't be pvping is it really fun to win every PvP match? We deffenitly shouldn't let legandry players stand a chance at PvP let the sns and arcane ring players rule PvP so no one else stands a chance. And you people screaming Nerf is why Sam is still the best because you people cry Nerf every single time and then have the nerve to complain that a pet isn't better then sam. Stop nerfing every thing!!!!

Stop nerfing every thing!!!!

In the past, developers have purposely nerfed every single freeze pet in PvP because freeze was deemed too OP to be allowed in PvP & yes - it is true. On top of the already powerful AA, the pet is able to passively freeze with his ranged attack at a pretty steady and consistent rate. On top of those, it bypasses any stun immunity timers developers implemented for game balance.

I have one myself and I still consider the pet ridiculously overpowered. I think it's a glitch that the freeze was intended to be allowed in PvP. Why? Look at every other freeze pet. It does not freeze in PvP!

Its sad that stg has to deal with people every time they come out with new content its rather to strong or to weak omg let none plat users have something for ones you don't think 99% of players think arcane ring ruined PvP for every one?

People shouldn't be afraid of stronger pets coming out they should be excited this game does not have hardly any variety of pets and gear that's best in pvp.

With SnS, there's a way to avoid. With Samael, there's ways to avoid. With Breeze, it's a range attack pet that hits multiple targets and the pool auto targets a player. Unlike other pets, this AA is a homing missile. On top of that - the passive is a very high rate of freeze too. So, not only can you not run from it but right after the AA wears off, the passive can produce a freeze too.

Sorry, but there's no stun immunity in this game that grants you a 15 second stun immunity besides Juggernaut.

I also agree that stronger pets should come out - howeve - freeze is something that has been purposely nerfed in PvP from the very start. This video shows exactly why it is. Can you tell me how one is supposed to avoid a long range, auto targeting freeze?

I believe I'm the first person to have this pet and also have the pet at level 41.

The CD is 28 seconds long & the 'Pool' is a little bigger than the size of a person, it's exactly the center of the blue circle.

To be clear on this - the blue circle is not a freeze zone but a buff zone that doesn't even increase damage for allies as the AA says it does. The only area that gets a long freeze from the almost 30 second AA is the exact center of blue circle which lasts exactly 5 seconds, and again, it's the size of a individual character, the above video is a chain of ice stuns not a single AA - a Samael can terrify with passive attacks and then you can AA afterwards to aoe terrify again. Mages, tanks, rogues, do this every day in pvp - stun with a skill and then use a panic when you come out of the stun.

Samael hits are almost twice as fast as breeze or almost any other pet Using Samael it takes 25 seconds to solo an elite goblin in elite forest, taking breeze at the same level to solo an elite goblin in brakenridge forest it takes 55 seconds. I've been saying it for almost a year now... Samael and Abaddon's attack speed is faster than any other pet, and Samael has a Arcane damage stat. The buff stats on Breeze are pathetic; wrathjaw, deary, MEEP-MOP, gives just about as good or better stats. The ice stun is more visible as an stun, but it's very similar. Just switching to a pet like breeze you lose a huge amount of damage per second, more than twice as much coupled with the loss in damage from your attacks and skills because of the awful base stats.

While we're at comparing arcane pets.... Do you know how long it takes Glacian to solo an elite goblin in elite forest? 125 seconds A samael can kill FIVE elite goblins by himself before glacian even kills a single one. This is how arcane pets used to be, huge stats, higher damage, but way slower attack speed.

The reason ice stuns were disallowed for mages... is because the CD on ice is 3 seconds. Yes, perhaps the passive should not freeze in pvp at the rate it does, but it should not be adjusted in PvE. Farming that egg at 10 minute runs during the 1 fragment a run era took almost 25 hours to farm. I don't recall farming malison for 25 hours just to get 1 egg.

If STG wants to make money, just make Misty actually worth something. It's the most worthless pet in the universe. Like Hali said above, Zeus said above, and I've said in the past, Misty resets your stun immunity and is basically worthless - just change the skill to a 7 second stun / panic / freeze immunity for the team, any PvP player worth their salt will spend the 90 plat to buy it.

The reason why chess and other games of tactics are fun... is because there are counter moves to everything. When you create pets and aa's without counters it's just annoying for everyone.

To conclude... FIX MISTY.

Let's see Wraith Like pet but only with a shield instead of a sword. The pet would have an AA that allowed a player to remove all debuffs for them and their team mates ( In range ) as well as grant healing, DMG reduction buff and armor buff.

Kind of a defensive pet for PvE and I guess if it had good passive attacks and stat bonus, PvP.

Bellaelda
12-01-2014, 02:33 AM
I agree with everyone else. This pet is far too over speced for pvp. His stun target needs to be removed for pvp. Once everyone gets this pet (cause will all know EVERYONE is saving for it).... nobody will ever be able to move in pvp again... It'll just be a race to span breeze.

On another note, but not related to breeze...

Mages could really use their stun back... Would be nice if they stopped taking their skills away and giving them to every other class and pet.

Mages should not have the freeze in their ice again. It would ruin endgame pvp unless adjusted to be in the same stun immunity category as other stun skills(fireball).

If you play long enough with the pet it should be easy to counter it with movement. So long as you aren't the one targeted by the pet.

I do find the freeze rather long and support a small nerf on its stun length for pvp

S&S Does'nt auto-target at all, i doubt this breeze got AWACS systems, this more of a homing missile when i play Ace Combat infinity and assault horizon. Also, why do you have to make a new PET in the form of a sorc? You could've just returned/given the freeze power in forst bolt for the sorcerer class. Already other classes have gained sorcerer abilities like:

Bulwark- Curse

Twin razors- Shield

magma dags- fireball procs

and now pets- breeze- freeze (breeze=freeze a new math equation??)

going back to our skills, our clock is supposed to ROOT, ice is supposed to FREEZE? where can you guys see that in PvP these upgrades in skills actually get implemented? it would have been a 10000% better to have returned the skill upgrade
than make a new pet. This auto-target is just weird, wow AL is just becoming a flight game now, a pet having a homing missile AA. mages are supposed to the best class ever, our stuns allow us to takedown the other classes but now we cant do anything and we are helpless, other classes are gaining stun immunity, getting OP(ier) and OP(ier) and we no more stand a chance against rogues now. We are weak in the view of stats but we dont have our skills getting implemented, our fireball stuns, but never stuns to bosses in elites. it looks like sorcerers are no more worth it in AL, this class has hopes. Just think when our skills get implemented.

Look like they have so many issues with pet to fix.. Sns too op, new pet too op, nekro too up .. What is the CD of this new pet's AA?

SnS...SnS...SnS....This pet was Introduced as an OP pet and is supposed to be OP. Nekro lost itself. it was a bad idea to introduce him right after SnS had come in. Trust me Nekro is like totally trashed nowadays. he's not even worth it now. Breeze's CD is too fast. That pet is a destroyer, his ability outcomes samael, samael doesnt auto-target he has a range if your in the range ur stunned, but breeze does something else which is too crazy.

Zeus

I believe I'm the first person to have this pet and also have the pet at level 41.

The CD is 28 seconds long & the 'Pool' is a little bigger than the size of a person, it's exactly the center of the blue circle.

To be clear on this - the blue circle is not a freeze zone but a buff zone that doesn't even increase damage for allies as the AA says it does. The only area that gets a long freeze from the almost 30 second AA is the exact center of blue circle which lasts exactly 5 seconds, and again, it's the size of a individual character, the above video is a chain of ice stuns not a single AA - a Samael can terrify with passive attacks and then you can AA afterwards to aoe terrify again. Mages, tanks, rogues, do this every day in pvp - stun with a skill and then use a panic when you come out of the stun.

Yes they can. However, a Samael has a small range and is also a melee based attack. Breeze is a long range attack that can hit multiple targets. On top of the auto targeting AA, it has a high chance to freeze via passive as well.

Samael hits are almost twice as fast as breeze or almost any other pet Using Samael it takes 25 seconds to solo an elite goblin in elite forest, taking breeze at the same level to solo an elite goblin in brakenridge forest it takes 55 seconds. I've been saying it for almost a year now... Samael and Abaddon's attack speed is faster than any other pet, and Samael has a Arcane damage stat. The buff stats on Breeze are pathetic; wrathjaw, deary, MEEP-MOP, gives just about as good or better stats. The ice stun is more visible as an stun, but it's very similar. Just switching to a pet like breeze you lose a huge amount of damage per second, more than twice as much coupled with the loss in damage from your attacks and skills because of the awful base stats.

I personally look at how a effective a pet makes your character - not how fast a pet is without your character. If we're judging on kill speed - Singe & Grimm would be considered pretty pathetic pets.

While we're at comparing arcane pets.... Do you know how long it takes Glacian to solo an elite goblin in elite forest? 125 seconds A samael can kill FIVE elite goblins by himself before glacian even kills a single one. This is how arcane pets used to be, huge stats, higher damage, but way slower attack speed.

The reason ice stuns were disallowed for mages... is because the CD on ice is 3 seconds. Yes, perhaps the passive should not freeze in pvp at the rate it does, but it should not be adjusted in PvE. Farming that egg at 10 minute runs during the 1 fragment a run era took almost 25 hours to farm. I don't recall farming malison for 25 hours just to get 1 egg.

There's no CD on passive attack - it can chain stun. Therefore, it should be disallowed too, right? Furthermore, one can just implement a stun immunity for ice and still allow ice to freeze. Adjust it for PvP but no PvE, I'll agree with you on that.

Runs take 7 minutes though. Also, people earn 2 fragments a run now, meaning this will be a faster problem than it was before.

If STG wants to make money, just make Misty actually worth something. It's the most worthless pet in the universe. Like Hali said above, Zeus said above, and I've said in the past, Misty resets your stun immunity and is basically worthless - just change the skill to a 7 second stun / panic / freeze immunity for the team, any PvP player worth their salt will spend the 90 plat to buy it.

I agree - it should also free you from any stuns while activated. That way, there is a true counter. If there was some sort of counter for Breeze, I would not be so furious. However, the way it currently is - there is no counter for breeze.

The reason why chess and other games of tactics are fun... is because there are counter moves to everything. When you create pets and aa's without counters it's just annoying for everyone.

Agreed.

To conclude... FIX MISTY.
Agreed, but also nerf the passive freeze for PvP ONLY.

I think z main point is Tht breeze is too op ?! Well I think it's S&s is z one Tht still too op ,maybe another pet Tht creat pools Tht r relatively op is a good idea ..
Pools workes better in clashes .. So tht pet would make some balance back to z game IMO
About sorcerers it's another story .. Maybe it was too much for a player vs player .. Without putting pets in z equation ..

12-01-2014, 12:21 PM
S&S Does'nt auto-target at all, i doubt this breeze got AWACS systems, this more of a homing missile when i play Ace Combat infinity and assault horizon. Also, why do you have to make a new PET in the form of a sorc? You could've just returned/given the freeze power in forst bolt for the sorcerer class. Already other classes have gained sorcerer abilities like:

Bulwark- Curse

Twin razors- Shield

magma dags- fireball procs

and now pets- breeze- freeze (breeze=freeze a new math equation??)

going back to our skills, our clock is supposed to ROOT, ice is supposed to FREEZE? where can you guys see that in PvP these upgrades in skills actually get implemented? it would have been a 10000% better to have returned the skill upgrade
than make a new pet. This auto-target is just weird, wow AL is just becoming a flight game now, a pet having a homing missile AA. mages are supposed to the best class ever, our stuns allow us to takedown the other classes but now we cant do anything and we are helpless, other classes are gaining stun immunity, getting OP(ier) and OP(ier) and we no more stand a chance against rogues now. We are weak in the view of stats but we dont have our skills getting implemented, our fireball stuns, but never stuns to bosses in elites. it looks like sorcerers are no more worth it in AL, this class has hopes. Just think when our skills get implemented.
Yes. And rogues are supposed to have 700 damage in pvp, yet we have our 10% damage nerf.

A mage buff should be given, but NOT in ANY form of stuns/freeze/terrify/[insert synonym for the same stun].

We all know how OP that'd be.

I think a lot of people that are commenting haven't seen it in action yet.

I'm using it on a daily basis and I can chain bow stun, followed by breeze, followed by passive (& perhaps a panic too, if a teammate is helping). Without the panic, it's still a 15+ second stun.

Cool downs of skills are 15 seconds. Heal is 15 seconds. Why can a pet stun you for 15 seconds and then have the chance to do it yet again?

The real problem is we shouldnt even be needing to compare sns (arcane), samael (arcane), with breeze (legendary). Just the classes alone says it all. And we arent even taking into account cost or rarity into this discussion. 45 or so total pets in game vs an arcane rarity pet vs a pet which can be purchased with 125 frags. Anyone who says this isnt a little lopsided is a little nutty. Just my 2c

There's no need to use SnS with this pet. I've been using breeze all day and I've died like 5 times but have made over 300 kills. :D


However, since you asked...the difference is that one can avoid SnS. One cannot avoid Breeze because the pool specifically targets and guarantees a freeze. On top of that, you can chain stun to: passive, freeze, bow stun, re-freeze, etc. Either way, I always always get at least 10 second stuns off.

Fight me in PvP with this pet...trust me, you'll rage.

You know what? It is a 1000% better to totally re arrange the weapons stats. To be only done when mages get their true ability. You dont need to nerf buff especially the elons and the others...if you can restat accordingly with a moderate balance it wont be such a big problem. However i myself do not support this idea from its outcome with different probability.

Make mage class into a pet...

+1
Add a new diamond tier to event, 10000 points needed and u get a mage as a pet

And to bless, no the pet dmg for rogue thing should not be fixed because it will ruin all pvp below lvl 20. If rogue pet dmg actually did work then people would complain rogues are too op and they would get an even bigger nerf to their dmg when they enter pvp. So, at lower lvls where warriors are already the strongest and easiest class, warriors would become even stronger and nobody would be able to compete with them. So twink lvls <20 would just be a bunch of warriors running around never killing each other because they heal more than they do dmg and nobody would play rogues cuz they would get stomped. And besides, people already say rogues one shot at endgame anyway so why does their pet dmg not working even matter to you?

All I have to say is that if people are willing to choose this legendary pet over most arcane pets then something is wrong, needs a Nerf. It seems more op in clashes than when sns got its pools buffed/fixed. If the opposing team has a breeze and your team doesnt then its pretty much Gg. Best when equipped on a war mid clash to freeze the opposing dps causing them to easily get picked off almost like the team had all of a sudden lagged in place or pressed pause. I've heard people say they checked their ping when they were froze for the first time, lol it ridiculous!

You do not understand mechanics. Crawly cannot be used over and over again because it follows the stun immunity rule. If you bow stun or fireball stun, crawly will fail every single time. If you crawly stun and then try to crawly stun again immediately, crawly will fail. I'm so confident about this that if I am incorrect, I'll give you 100m.

Lol @ crawly comparison. You can still combo anyone in front of you when 'locked' the animation just doesn't show.

Breeze is the writing on the wall that there is a total disconnect between the people creating content and people playing. I'm tired of it, just go compare the 'new' armor to the arena armor or any other set of the same type, you're looking at a one point stat difference.

Look at Hali posting about losing armor on the 'amazing quest for armor that is finally better than 1 year old mythic'

If you meet me in game, I can show you exactly why those counters fail. Therefore, I think you do not understand game mechanics. If everyone is freeze, stun, or panic, they might as well re-implement ability to summon/dismiss for AA use again. It's no different, really.

I do understand game mechanics, if you don't know how to ADAPT, (read this word well!) then thats your problem. I'm just giving u ways to negate breeze. Every pets have their weakness and strong points.

How do you adapt to a pet that, unlike SnS, auto targets someone and ALWAYS freezes them for 5+ seconds? At least you are able to move out of SnS pools etc, but auto targeting is stupid honestly. Anyone with half a brain can press the pretty little paw button and charge aim. Dead.

You do not understand mechanics. Crawly cannot be used over and over again because it follows the stun immunity rule. If you bow stun or fireball stun, crawly will fail every single time. If you crawly stun and then try to crawly stun again immediately, crawly will fail. I'm so confident about this that if I am incorrect, I'll give you 100m.

I implore you, learn game mechanics before telling others to adapt.

Again, If you can't adapt in the virtual world then obviously you can't adapt in real life, with all the constant changes.

If you think your better than most dev, why don't you apply for the job? And create or change the game the way you wanted to be.

There's always pros and cons to everything.

Have you seen the developers play their own game?

- They think shadowflare is an OP spell.
- Pet Damage for rogues is broken due to debuff algorithm
- SSS is used in developer's skill set
- Sorcerers ('nuff said)
- Ectoplasm vials
- Nekro
- Breeze
- Broken Stun Immunity Rules
- Planar Arena Fail (No, I'm not talking about Fossil. I'm talking about them reducing the boss armor by 25% when nerfing planar tombs because it was all in one programmed class.)
- Glitched Razor Shield (Fails when you add an upgrade)
- Glitched Noxious Bolt

I could add more to this list but it is not a witch hunt for developers.

Developers are able to design a game, sure. However, with everything else that they have to undertake - they're not the best judges of game mechanics. It's not their fault - they have other tasks to do. That is why they use us experienced players for feedback.

I'm not interested in working for STG nor am I qualified yet, as I attend university. However, others have offered help and are skilled programmers (GoodSyntax) to which STG has made no comment. So, the help is there and willing but STG seems unwilling.

They did, this game works like this :

1. Pure business for STS, they workin hard and be paid by plat user.
2. Every update always provide a greater challenge, harder mobs, boss, etc and need hard work to farm
3. From point #2, ppl who love this game but do not have time, will buy plat to get best weapon, gear or pet
4. From point #3, STS revenues will increase (this is related to point #1)
5. Ppl who are already comfortable with their gear, pet, and build began to protest against the changes, make a thread with tons of comments
6. Unfortunately, most ppl in point #5 is the plat user
7. STS do not want to lose their loyal customers a.k.a plat users
8. STS grant their request to nerf this, nerf that, etc
9. This cycle will occur continuously as long as there is seller (sts) and buyer (plat users)

So, i bet this lovely famous breeze got nerfed next update

I got an easy solution for mages - instead of buffing us just increase crit chance of lightning to 1000% and 50% chance to crit when charged in addition to your crit you have already E.G. you have 22% crit + charged light = 72% crit. We will all be happy then. DONE.

What does this have to do with the thread? And as for breeze, its obviously going to be nerfed. People need to stop complaining until this happens because at some point it just gets annoying. If, after it has been nerfed, breeze is still op and needs more adjustments then you can ahead and complain again. But until then just stop. Remiem has clearly said that they have heard us and will be testing for adjustments to be made. SO WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL COMPLAINING. just wait to see what happens

When I asked Remiem today in the chatbox, she said they were going to try and make the Breeze freeze ability fall in the category of "stun" so it will be subject to the stun immunity. It won't be as effective afterwards since nearly everything triggers the stun immunity.

Because people are saying breeze is taking the complete job of mage - and our skill ice shard (which is useless in pvp as it doesn't acutally freeze - which is like saying horn of renew shouldn't heal over time etc.)

Sounds reasonable. Freeze ability shouldn't work in pvp first of all.
Even it follows stun immune, 5 sec will be still worth to use since it has freeze on passive too.

It's actually 7-9 seconds, so even with it following stun immunity, it's 2-3x as long as a panic. You're right - still completely worth using. Thanks, STG!

Hard to say until we see it in action. If a mage's FB triggers the immunity, no freeze for the next 7 seconds and then another skyward smash stuns them and no freeze again. Lets see what happens though.

remember that developers are humans too , they do make mistakes sometimes and for that they made"technical issues and bugs/general discussions" and they will always need your opinion "feed back and suggestions", anyway i believe that you have the pet and thats why you are making all this drama in order not to get the pet nerfed , trust me it will get nerfed .

Perhaps a good idea - if they were to bring freeze back to mages - is to give freeze it's own seperate 'freeze immunity' cooldown. Just like how stun immunity works, but for freeze. That way it isn't just a continuous chain of being frozen, stunned and panicced. Perhaps a similar thing could be applied to panic? And possibly making all arcane abilities ignore stun immunity effects? Just an idea.

It's like singe stun plus passive stun. It should be OK I think.
But yes, we should see it in action too.

My concern is rather that people might want to stack more tanks because of this pet ability. It might make the game boring.
Well. It might be only twinks concern tho. ;)

No it will still be a very strong pet. If you get the AA to go off on somebody in a war without stun immunity preventing the freeze then they are basicly dead

Your team can still use pet AA when fozen. Stun 'em back
Everyone can't afford breeze. It made the gap of middle class and rich people wider..
People who can't afford best of endgame stuffs, they play twink level with a limited budget. Now breeze is necessary to fight back in every level.
Breeze is indeed farmable pet but not so easy task. If it were easy, breeze would have been flooded in auction (wish it gets flooded so everyone owns one and pvp is well ruined).
I fought against SnS and I can avoid the pools or warriors can hor us. But breeze's freeze cant be avoided. Summing cr@p pets like ironbite or Misty just to not get frozen is a necessity now.
The solution is to just quit the pvp arena when a breeze owner comes.
