I was testing against the tuatha de danon and fir bolg levels 28-29, minions through bosses. Ok, now I will admit that I could be crazy but I am usually pretty good at counting. Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.

Editted for spelling

I tested against both single and multiple. I was sitting next to the mobs and watching for the icicles damage update in the combat window. I didn't use any attacks other than icicles. I also confirmed it with the damage numbers over the mobs heads for multiple mobs.

Can anyone else confirm this? I can't be the only ice tanker on live who still has icicles

Ok, I checked again just to make sure. Icicles is definately ticking at 1s now on Live. No idea why it is different than on test, but definately 1s now. I tried it with a bunch of different enemy type in croatoa (not that enemy type should matter) and the results were 1s every time. Maybe it was a server side change that didn't affect the client build?

I just got on live and was doing some croatoa missions with my ice tanker (level 32) and it seems the devs snuck in a change to icicles. It's damage ticks more often than previously. At a quick guess I would say is it ticking once a second now. I think the end drain is the same as before, but at least now it might be worth it.

I tried this out on the test server late last night, and its still burning the same End and the tics are still slightly over 2s apart. And the test server and live are currently on the same build #.

Hmmmmm... That is strange. I made sure to count it on live too, because it suprised me. I hadn't seen anything in the patch notes or on this thread about it. I could have made a mistake, but I was almost positive that it was 1s ticks on live. I will have to check it again tonight.
