Gamebreaking Frost Mage Bug

[advanta]

This bug was discovered by Araitik who deserves all rep/credit for it.

Crazy Frost Mage bug, insane damage while invulnerable ! Patch 8.1.5 - YouTube

Essentially you use build up 5 icicles with frostbolt, use icy veins, cast ice lance and immediately iceblock.

I was sufficiently interested in this to make a video also, the main reason was to highlight Araitik's work which has been consistently brilliant for years,
but I made a few observations some may find interesting:

Not working for me.

Well I guess it's time to invest into potions of Petrification!

Sucks that the recipe is so rare though!

/cast ice lance
/sit


...dont move


also duelling your own faction can kill the player due to the bug continuing to do dmg after the duel is over

Araitik reported, as of about 15 minutes of writing, this as fixed sadly.
Looked super fun though

[Ginchy]

is this confirmed fixed?

I tried with Sit on my Trial Mage and didnt worked. Not sure if Timing is wrong.

Could not get the timing using Ice Block on trial Mage, but against target dummies the "logout method" worked perfectly fine.

It seems that this requires a lot of haste to get GCD below the time it takes for the Icicles to deplete.

its extremely east to do, just press ice lance and .sit
even if u didnt want to do that you could use icey veins for the haste it

Will try sitting, I wasn't able to get the Ice Block off fast enough with just Icy Veins. Although I might just suck.

cant seem to get this to work @target dummies in og.

i cast 5x frostbolt, then ice lance, and click the macro with "/sit".

the icicles just depletes while my character is sitting on the ground. nothing buggy
