• Halts all damage while enemies are frozen

 Battle Tactics

The most asked questions from people deciding to play sage is "Is it a support class?" or

"Is it good with Solo Runs"? well to be honest it is a good class, people might say she is a support

class becaue of the whole Freezing ultimate and her passive but she is extremely capable in solo

runs. So let's get to it.

 

As an Ice Sage the first thing you should practice on is Kiting (grab your enemies attention and

keep walking away from it which pulls it along) or basically hit and run because the second thing

you would notice is that you can't take damage that well.

 

 How to know when to use Frozen Ward

                situation 1 - you spawned and you don't see a shield up, use it.

                situation 2 - you got hit and the shield is gone, use it.

                situation 3 - You're an ice sage, use it.

 

Important Tip 1 : Always keep your ward up

     it would not only absorb the first hit but also gives you movespeed and attackspeed.

 

• Your ultimate " The Big Chill " can be used on offensive and defensive sittuation

• even if you used it defensively you could still spam cast your Ice Crash while regaining hp.

 

Important Tip 2 : Do not miss your ultimate, just don't. I mean how can you even.

 

• Ice Crash is so strong i swear, but hard to hit when enemies are moving                                                                                                                                                                  so proper timing is key.

 

Important Tip 3 : Always try to land your auto attack

      Can slow enemies down thus making ice crash hit more easy

       you can hold your attack button while casting ice Crash to be more effective.

 

Enemies and Situations that would most likely put you in danger.

• Ranged enemies - don't even try to kite this type of enemies, if you see them, take them out or if you're low on hp you can take cover for awhile.

• Dungeons with little to no space - The Ice Sage can not take that much damage thus being in this situation would be bad since enemies can get a hold of you more often.

• Major Consequences when hit with a boss charge attack without a shield
