[REJECTED] [Mage] Ring of Frost vs Crowd Control

[Stimulation]

WoW Freakz spell link: Ring of Frost
Bug description: When you use Ring of Frost and then get affected by a crowd control (stun,fear), your ring becomes useless, as if you haven't placed it at all, since people can walk in or out of it without getting frozen.

it should be like this\

technically, Ring of Frost is a channeled spell. If you're in some form of CC (cyclone, poly, blind, etc. etc.) the cc interrupts the channel and enemies can run through it without a problem. Probably not exactly what the designers intended but ehh.

@Foxed, I would like to disagree, this is not a channeled spell. It has a cast time of around 1.6 s and uptime of 10 seconds. You don't really need to "channel" to keep the spell up, furthermore any enemy passing through ring should be incapacitated unless Diminishing Returns is full.

As I remember I have seen Legion videos where priest purposely Mind Controls a target into Ring, I'll have to look that up on twitch if needed.

My 2 cents: Post was made 4 years prior to WoW Legion Launch so I assume this got reworked, waiting for a GM to clear this up.

Later Edit: I found this recent bug report on Blizz BFA with no replies that supports what Foxed stated, which is more than a strange bug imo. (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/mind-control-into-ring-of-frost/104728)

If you're under a CC your ring doesn't CC. It has always been like that. Working as intended.

Would you provide any proof of this as I'm really curious if it is really supposed to work like that.

Haven't u read what Foxed found?

If u followed the pvp scene post cata u'd know this is just one of the "tricks" to bypass ring of frost. Like I said, it's working as intended.

I haven't played World of Warcraft after Wrath of the Lich King, so I do not know if it should be working like that.
Reading from the post that Foxed has posted, I see that it WAS a channeled spell, meaning that it is not anymore. Although I read here and here that it was never a channeled spell, but it used to have an arming period of 3 (later 2) seconds. At that stage if you get CCed (probably) it won't trigger at all, but I am unsure.

Oh, u simply misunderstood the "channeled" part. Back in cata it had an arming period, it was an instant cast but it took 2-3 sec to start CC'ing.

"Channeled" in this case means while u r not CC'd, u r "channeling" Ring of Frost, but when u get CC'd it stops its function.
