This is a 20% haste increase, not a 20% increase in casting time.

It actually boils down to a 16.66% faster cast speed.

The tooltip will be updated in a future patch.

8.33 second casting time on teleport/portals..... JUST CHECKED IT OUT! im thinking twince about respecing.

Kommentar von coniferous

I know a lot of mages have been complaining that icy veins is not particularly useful, but, i've found that the 16.66% faster cast time is really nice. And increasing the amount that it freezes the enemy is a flat dps increase, epically if your specced into shatter and ice shards.

I would estimate its a 14-15% dps increase for mages while activated (assuming that you have the ice shards, shatter, and frost bite talents. )

Some handy things to know...

- Stacks with blood lust
~~- freezing effect will proc off the chilling effect of improved blizzard~~ No longer applies due to the changes in IV
~~- the freezing effect will not proc if you do not have any points into frost bite.~~ No longer applies due to the changes in IV

~~There needs to be some testing into if it will increase the casting time of channeled spells~~ Yes it will.

Pretty spiffy!

Edited for the changes to the spell.

imao , it is a pretty nice dps boost for frost mages in pve. just a nice combination with the eye of quigmirran+ icon of the silver crescent (two easily achievable trinkets) ur frostbolts have under 2 seconds casting time (dont mention bloodlus/heroism)

Kommentar von Blastor

The freezing effect is all but useless in a raid environment for pve due to the mob getting constantly hit by 15 other people, but the increased haste is useful.

For the shatter PvP build, the freezing effect adds a substantial amount of shatter possibilities.

All in all, this is one of the few talents that gives a great benefit to both the PvE and PvP frost mage.

Note that IV does not just work with frost spells, but with every spell you cast.
So you can get off a short poly or scorch too, which might be very handy for pvp situations.

Kommentar von StoneLegion

Its not a bad talent but I still recommend clear casting for leveling builds for firemages since I think you would get more out of it. This great though for pvp/raiding builds.

Kommentar von Killa

It DOES work with channeled spells, reduced Blizzard rank 2 from a 8 second cast to a 6. If it still calculates the ammount of damage for an 8s blizzard or a 6s one i dont know.

Kommentar von 121059

I could imagine that this talent will be nerfed in the future for this sole reason, i still hope that it doesnt get nerfed though, anyway, here goes:

Troll racial = 30% Less casting time
Icy Veins = 20% Less casting time (works for all moves)
Bloodlust = 30% Less casting time

This boils down to 80% less casting time if they're all stackable, which in turn provides a 1.2 second pyroblast, not counting any other spell haste items you currently have.

If i'm mistaken, please correct me. Thanks.

First post btw ^^

An example of a perfect raid dps spec that fully utilizes the above tactic is this http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=of0E00fzxIzwZxx0zZbhG0o

Again, if i am mistaken please correct me.

Kommentar von Lectris

Stacks with troll racial(berserking).

Kommentar von Mutre

I read the patch notes and it wont stack with Heroism, Blood Lust and Power Infusion (tho the last isnt a haste buff).

Kommentar von 116326

is it gd now in patch 2.4?
looks great in my point of view.. 20 secs of solid casting...

Kommentar von Flameenix

/Use Icy Veins
/Use Icon of the Silver Crescent

as a hotkey...

= Happy PvP/PvE mage. :)

(Reccomended macro).

Oh, and USE THIS WITH YOUR WATER ELEMENTAL!

Since water ele's benefit off the same trinket buffs and Icy Veins, this is especially useful! Once again for both PvP and PvE.

Kommentar von 140772

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18230 is broken..

..but to make it work, keep it on your bag and use the following:

#showtooltip Frostbolt
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast Arcane Power
/cast Icy Veins
/use Icon of the Silver Crescent
/cast Frostbolt

(Copied that from wowwiki, http://www.wowwiki.com/Useful_macros_for_mages)

Kommentar von 203333

As a Fire Mage with Icy Veins, you can create a macro which activates several cooldowns and short-term consumables with one click, something along the lines of:

#showtooltip Icy Veins
/stopcasting
/use Destruction Potion
/stopcasting
/use Flame Cap
/stopcasting
/use Hex Shrunken Head (or any damage trinket you use)
/cast Combustion
/stopcasting
/cast Icy Veins
/stopcasting
/cast Fireball

This will give you 20 seconds of extreme damage, but it does come with the drawback of locking out your mana gems and mana potions. Therefore, it is only advisable that you use this macro if you have a Shadow Priest at hand to provide mana regen or if mana is not an issue. As a final note, you might want to ensure that Scorch has been reapplied right before you use this macro, and that there is no foreseeable situation which will silence you or otherwise stop your casting in the next few seconds.

Very useful spell. Just pop Icy Veins if your Ice Barrier is on CD when you're drastically low on health/mana and evocate. If you use Glyph of Evocation it works wonders - a 6.4 second, uninterruptible 60% heal in tight situations. Gotta love the ice.

Also received a new casting animation as of 3.0.1.

Kommentar von theyas

"Casting speed of all spells increased by 20% and reduces the chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting by 100%"

It's a good thing this isn't reflected in the actual buff :o

Kommentar von Dejmos

Ice Floes reduces the cooldown to 2:24

Kommentar von Z3PH

Is it possible to use this and arcane power at the same time? Or they share cd?

Kommentar von 165543

If you wanna be a retard pull a bunch of mobs use IV and blizz urself. This can be used to AOE grind non CCable mobs the only problem is that you will usually die to those said mobs unless you have a ton of health or a healer.Also you can use this if you wanna AOE grind mobs that use ranged abilities that would otherwise have a nasty pushback making you run oom and die.Thats right this spell means no pushback for blizzard!

Kommentar von danroe

Incase you want to know, the icon is a frozen heart.

Kommentar von Dogatehw

Note that this is spellstealable, and it's quite obvious to another mage if you have the buff up due to its characteristic glow.

Kommentar von Chromededome

Is this spell on the global cooldown?

Kommentar von 299060

Using this will put a 20s cd on any on use Trinket you have equipped.

Kommentar von glacialhawk

This may be me just being ignorant, but is this spell only available through the frost talent tree or can it be learned if you are another spec?

Kommentar von Naeco

Hastens your spellcasting, increasing spell casting speed by 20% and reducing the pushback suffered from damaging attacks while casting by 100%. Lasts 20 sec.

Accelerates your spellcasting, granting 20% spell haste and reducing the pushback suffered from damaging attacks while casting by 100%. Lasts 20 sec.

New and improved Icy Veins is now minty fresh!

Kommentar von Qoko

After starting to play my mage alt actively endgame I must note some subtleties regarding macroing IV in relation to other Frost cooldowns (Mirror Image and Alter Time), as I initially recommended to macro this to Mirror Image.

In 5.4 mages glyph IV, because the glyphed will circumvent haste cap problems during Time Warp. Glyphed, macroing IV to Spiegelbild is baseline bad. Images do not benefit from a glyphed IV at all, and it basically wastes one GCD used for a FFB, Ice Lance or Frostbolt. Macroing IV to any of these is not recommended either, because you don't know beforehand which procs you have when activating IV. Tl;dr, macroing IV to a GCD spending spell is not recommended. Spiegelbild should be cast seperately (preferably before IV, so you don't keep it 26 seconds long off cooldown).

There is however a recommended way to macro IV to Alter Time: Taraezor covers everything you need to know and I will not repeat that here.
