Hi all.

Well, i've read a lot of posts about the frost/fire wall series... I know some people find them useless, but... in other hand, would they be useful in PvE? I mean, when you ara griding with a low def-low HP full int nuker, and then a Giant appears. Would those walls help taking damage while i take down 1 half of giant's HP?

Other question is about freeze forsbitten skills: cold wave and frost nova. I know the 1st hit 1 mob and has a quick cast... 2nd is a bit slower but can freeze and hits 3 mobs... I was thinking... can i imbue cold wave with lightning to make it frosbitten 3 mobs?

And... please don tell me "these or those are better for PvP" I preffer PvE.

Thanks all.

Fire Wall will absorb damage from int based mobs, it can save you when fighting an int based giant or to many int based mobs. Ice will absorb damage from str based mobs, it can save you when fighting a str based giant or many str based mobs. You cannot imbue cold wave or frost nova. :)

great in pvp cause even if the shield dies in 1 hit it gives you time to attack and dmg first

If cold wave and frost nova can't be imbued, then I'll learn frost nova because I think is better when you get mobbed when griding (beeing a low HP full int ^^).

More questions... and again, its for PvE not PvP.

Being a full int garmet user is ok to learn the fire magical def. buff? Or just a waste of time?

What about fire shield. does this skill really have a bug or will it be like this forever? (no required shiel) If no bug, i will surely learn it ^^.

And, i know what fire/frost wall do, but i want to know how much can it resist when player lvl and mobs lvl is the same... just an example.

Thanks again.

Ice/fire wall isnt useful for pve. If you needed to use them then you shouldve ran away instead. Frost nova is more useful than the wall series for pve. Fire shield remaining when you de-equip shield is actually a bug, and whether this will be fixed is up to JM (so I cannot say for certain). Fire shield is however useful for pve (especially against mobs with zombie or poison). For a full int garm user s/s you dont have to use fire def buffs against int based damage mobs, however you would save alot of hp potions especially when you're a spear int garm charachter.
