Cold Domination: Frostwork as a TAoE

[Monos King]

What are thoughts on leaving Frostwork unchanged but making it into something like a 4-6 max target TAoE? Apparently the power is seen to be lacking by many, which it kind of is, and some desire it to become a +absorb ability. I am quite opposed, as I think ally HP buffs are unique and can be quite useful. Is this a change that seems desirable?

I'd say it would borderline on being overpowered. The most OP thing ever? No, but it is a very unique buff that directly adds +HP, giving this to an area of players would likely be seen as problematic, also as a whole Cold Domination isn't the most "lacking" set by any means, many sets IMO for support could badly use the buff (sonic, FF, **trick arrow**, possibly empathy immediately come to mind). 

 

I'm not saying it's a terrible idea, but it would be very OP to combine something like an empathy + frostwork giving completely maxed out regen and HP making your allies just god-tier. 

 

I'm not actually against it tbh, I even sort of like the idea, but I can see people viewing it as overpowered.

How could I forget the infamous Trick Arrow?!

I would recommend going no further than max 3 $Targets and an 8ft radius spherical AoE around the $Target.  That way you'd get 0-2 more who are adjacent to the $Target, but no more.

Anything that boosts HP total is very nice for boosting any Regen effects, in addition to the "you have that many more HP before you keel over" part.

It's a 2 minute duration and a 1 minute recharge, so you can already keep it up on more than one target. I'm not sure there's a need to cast this on anyone other than melee types, so an AoE might be challenging if you cast this before engaging.

this was exactly what I was going to suggest, if a change is needed at all.

Still probably wouldn't take it.

Probably appropriately OP, layering different buff sets buffs is definitely gonna render you pretty well off.

 

I'm pretty fond of all the ideas here.

Did I hear a way to make everyone OP!
