This is awesome ! Do you know if they have also changed gust / ice blast by any chance ? These skills were rather weak as well (even if I know ice blast used to be OP but… they nerfed it by two ways : make it an overheat with high CD and remove the splash freeze part, IMO the skill would be fine if they only removed one of these aspect).
Gust’s animation was changed slightly, no change (that I know of) to Ice Blast.

How works Subzero Shield when Reflect Shield is on ?
They stack and reflect damage seperately. Subzero Shield doesn’t have a limit on hits unlike Reflect Shield.
Does the change to Subzero Shield make it a viable skill now ? Because it was bad/bugged before… and how about the attribute that make reflect stronger when wearing a shield ? Did you try it ?
We’ll have to test it more, but the skill’s a lot more viable especially for PvP. With it being a lasting buff (lasts for 23 seconds at Lv 1) it’s pretty good.
Hum, i’m gonna wait for the patch note but it seems great.
I made a new build PvP oriented based on Cryomancer with some points that i can move. With more details on the new Subzero Shield i’ll decide how many points i can put on it.
If you waiting for the patch notes of this being added, it was already translated. It doesn’t give any further details than ‘Subzero Shield was changed.’
I’ll see if I can check out more later. 
Ah true, i forgot it.
Ok, if you have enough time to test it and give the details of levels effects it’ll be perfect 
I have a C3 Cryo, so I’ll help test out the new Subzero Shield later.

Hello 
thank you for the news
Any news about C3 Sorcerer?
There’s not been any new skills added for them yet. But there are skill icons in the files.

So we tested out Subzero Shield a bit more.
Subzero Shield - Lasts for 18 seconds (+3 secs per level), shields 50% of incoming damage, and reflects damage taken. Freeze lasts for 3~4 seconds at all levels. It has a 30% chance to Freeze when reflecting damage. (+10% Freeze chance per level)
It has a max level of 5, even past C2.
Subzero Shield can reflect BOTH Magic and Physical type damage. Projectiles (missiles) is unclear. The reflect damage can also proc Subzero Shield and cause an chain of freezes, as you see above.
The fact it cuts damage by 50% (seemingly) is very strong though, the freeze is nice as well. Sometimes, the damage shows up as full (80 damage hits in the window) but is also halved. (40 damage hits in the window)

Thanks for the informations !
2 more questions : The cooldown has been changed ? Is the freeze duration still 5 sec (as said before) or you’re sure it’s 3-4 (like ice pike, Ice Bolt and Ice Wall) ?
If you check the video, look under my name and you can see the timer, it should be 3 seconds. (It refreshes as I re-freeze!)
The cooldown is 45 seconds, and 50 with one of its attributes.
Oh sorry didn’t see the debuff icon. Yeah it seems to be 3sec Freeze duration.
So, with the attribute Subzero Shield : Duration maxed, the Freeze duration is 8sec ? Seems pretty awesome 
Thanks for the details ^^
*Sees they fixed Lethargy and Sleep*
I like to believe my reports caused that fix. Don’t burst my bubble ok! ;x;
Does the collision damage change make it so it cant apply to immovable things like bosses too? RIP Cartar. Again. (it already lost the multiple hits on that earlier)
One last question, how does the Ice Rod and Divine Might affect Subzero Shield ?
Is it me or the reflected damage or “proc” seems to have an internal cooldown (look like 1sec) ? That’ll explain why you reflect some hit (and then reduce damage) and some don’t.
That might be true, there also might be lag due to KR ping acting there.
Ice Rod and Divine Might affect Subzero Shield like normal, so +1 level. Duration increases and it should also add +10% Freeze Chance.
Just to clarify how the collision damage chance would work with bosses, is it when you use a skill that can knockback (i.e. Cartar Stroke) on the boss, or when you knockback an enemy into a boss?
Also, found this pretty funny. Hexen Dropper and Dust Devil with a Pistol have an amusing animation. I expect it’ll change eventually… maybe?
