Pretty much any dps who wants to make big numbers knows about this, on paper for AE heavy fights it looks pretty crazy for one item. Currently the proc it has is a nuke/debuff Ice as it is right now if this procs on a target, the item can't be procced on the same target until the debuff is gone. This means that regardless of how many frost BPs you have in a raid it can only proc a maximum of 4 times a minute, this is because the debuff lasts 15-18 seconds. The only way to proc more often on a mob is to dispel the debuff.
I obviously have no idea the specific intent, but I would assume that it would work this way to limit the # of procs 1 person could have. I'm not sure if it's right that it prohibits everybody in a raid from proccing.
So with all that.. Reasonable things that could be done in my opinion.
- If at all possible make it so that the debuff only disallows the person who procced it from proccing again. Would leave the BP weaker than it looks on paper while still being good for anybody looking to max damage.
- Change the nuke from the Ice it currently casts to Ice which does ~40% of the current proc but doesn't suffer from stacking issues.
- Do nothing and I'll just yell at anybody who isn't a wizard using it if a wizard wearing one is present.
I'm not gonna say it really needs a change because it's probably never going to make or break a fight as is, and an item being desirable for 16-17 people in a raid is maybe not the best thing. However I'd like to at least not see the item be gimped by having several in a raid or having somebody who isn't a wizard proc it.
