Kommentar von Hankie

IMO, this should be a passive DK only(selfbuff, no aura) and should make the ground and water freeze (visual freeze), like Arthas, that would be epic

Kommentar von 145178

ye, and then pull them into the water with Death Grip, so they cannot run away!

Kommentar von 176208

Actually shamans will not be able to use walk on water while shapeshifted. I am wondering if they will make it possible while being mounted.

Kommentar von 126504

This ability just guaranteed a flood of DK fishermen in Booty Bay.

Kommentar von 169126

I could see how this would mean your mount will be able to walk on water... but this spell which just bring us to the point of QQing priests and shamans who have been wanting to use waterwalk + levitate while mounted and be able to run on the water.
(And yes, im one of those shamans XD)

Age of Wonders, anyone?

Kommentar von 182073

im just gunna stand on the bank with my felhunter and dispell this of dks riding along

Kommentar von Zitarro

I'd say... FINALLY a spell who can make players to MOUNT ON water =) But still... Why didn't Shammy has this before? They got the Water Walking, but can't mount and use Ghost Wolf... But hope it'll be fixed =)

Kommentar von d3nyd

This skill is both very fun and very useful. In Borean Tundra especially, there are Tuskaar and pirate quests that take place near and over water. You can traverse the water easily, and get there quicker than any other class by far.

This spell is priceless. It came particularly handy when leveling herbalism. Instead of having to compete with others for the desirable land nodes I went for the much more annoying to pick Stranglekelp.

Find a shore to your liking (like, Wetlands, Silverpine, Ratchet area, etc), pop this baby and ride along the shore. Dive down for the picking, resurface and re-mount and you're on your way again.

It's also excellent for exploring the annoying heavily watered down areas, which require alot of swimming.

I love it. :o

Kommentar von Immaterial

The green gloop in Undercity doesn't seem to count as water for this spell.

Kommentar von silkfire

Can be cast while mounted and won't dismount you, as if it was an aura spell.

Kommentar von Tantou

Getting missed at, etc. drops the effect too.

Confirmed by getting attacked by something, but they missed.

Kommentar von bugeye999

You can use this to eat/drink on water

Kommentar von Tyristrasz

And if it hasn't been found out already, if you have this on and you jump from a high locale, you will suffer all the damage of a fall.

Ouch.

Kommentar von 70784

Great spell. However, I have noticed that while mounted and I cast this spell several seconds before I even come in contact with water and it did not work. I am sure its just a bug, but I have noticed this several times now. No I did not take damage either, it just let me sink into the water, I would hop out of water and I began to water walk again, mounted up and it was fine. Just an annoyance.

Kommentar von 234313

Use this on your unsuspecting group while falling through the huge hole in Azjol-Nerub after the second boss and expect your party to hate you.

Kommentar von 224653

So can any spec death knight use this? Or is the freezing aura the thing you have to have 30 points in frost for?

Kommentar von 77380

This spell doesn't seem to work on the green canals in Undercity for some reason, I assume it doesn't work in other forms of green slime(e.g., slime in ziggurats, tar pools on Un'goro, and... lava).

Kommentar von 114238

I was just able to run from Rutheran Village to Darkshore. Took a teeny bit of damage when the fatigue bar ran out, but was on land again shortly. If I had pathed it better, I might not have run out of fatigue at all.

That was awesome!

Kommentar von 96156

This ability has made my adventures in Zangarmarsh a LOAD more easy and very fast. Saved me from getting dismounted well over 150 times now. An EXCELLENT buff for all who are questing in wet zones.

Kommentar von 222540

woah, so let me get this straight. if u jump off somewhere really high and land on water, ull take fall damage and THEN Path of Frost deactivates? thanks blizzard

Kommentar von Zurr

Parry, miss, and dodge will sometimes cause path of frost to disappear, even though it isn't damage.

Kommentar von Wisdomsword

it's like jesus!

Kommentar von Wisdomsword

say you jumped of a cliff and landed on water, with path of frost, would you take damage?

Kommentar von toastmaster7727

A completely and utterly random ability given to the Death Knight for another seemingly unknown reason. All spells involving the manipulation of water were given to the appropriate classes for real world reasons.
Supposebly if you were a follower of the devil in the middle ages (a warlock), you also had the abiltiy to breath underwater. This was one of the tests used to determine if someone practiced witchcraft in those times.
Shamans in the real world have the abiltiy to leave their body and enter the spirit world. Ring a bell? You can walk on water as a ghost in WoW. Not to mention in their description, shamans are the masters of manipulating the elements.
Death Knights however? I don't see how being a corruptor of plagues and the undead somehow also gives you the ability to walk on water. Most Death Knights in WoW lore are previous paladins slain by the Scourge and reanimated with no free will. Why don't paladins have this ability then?

I find it ironic that Blizzard clearly and bluntly stated that DKs weren't gonna be OP, and now they are. They are the leader in kills in almost every pvp match and iv'e gotten out-dpsed by DK tanks with mostly green gear.

Kommentar von 237839

You will rash through the water if your up high and jump into the water while having this buff.

Kommentar von Muffinsofdeath

Mass dispel removes this affect, it says dispel type n|a.
Wrong, it works.

Kommentar von Afoxi

You can ride between teldrassil and auberdine with this, i just made the trip twice. =)

On a pale horse (unholy talent) helped too.

Kommentar von Plated

Really annoying spell actually....incredibly buggy. Jumping into water dismounts, and you fall in the water. If you are on going down towards the water at contact you will fall in....in other words: i nearly always jump in water fall down jump back up mount and go. I hope this is a bug - not intended or this spell rly sucks.

Kommentar von 44913

This buff allows you to ride from Teldrassil to Darkshore.

Kommentar von Matomeo

As an alliance DK (and should work for horde aswell),
You can use PoF for when you just happnd to miss your boat.

Pof, Mount up, and run after the boat as close as you can.
When the boat get teleported you will also if you are close enough.

Kommentar von 268652

The description for this skill is accurate, to a certain extent. However, it seems certain non-damaging combat skills will also cancel the effect. I just had vibrant blood cast on me and it canceled path of frost.

Kommentar von 274087

This is so helpful when still leveling in Zangarmarsh! It makes doing half the quests faster because you can just travel over the lakes instead of running through the winding roads. =)

Kommentar von faia

Now you get it on 61 is good

but NO MORE swamp swimming for Dk gnomes

Kommentar von 272861

also i'm sure they said this good for fish not only for fishing but a can start a fire on the water and cook too hehe add a pic to show you

Kommentar von Longearshunter

This spell can also be used as a sort of attack. if you are in an instance such as Utgarde Keep or Azjol Nerub, you can activate this spell after you fall far into the water. Make sure you fall first. This will get your party members waterwalking and they will take falling damage and die. Good if used on a group that keeps dying or if you just plain hate them.

Kommentar von RiceCake

You can't land on water on a flying mount with this ability... you'll just keep flying in place like you're flying into a wall (albeit straight downwards). While it's kind of strange... it does look kind of funny to have a drake flying with his nose in the water. You can also fly in circles while half-submerged, resulting in a freaky water-ballet kind of deal.

Kommentar von 293841

a tip to all DKs:
do NOT use this when the party will have to jump down a large pit into water eg. the drop in azjol nerub. parties hate 5 deaths, one after another because of this.

Kommentar von 17424

In 3.1 combat alone does not cancel the effect anymore.

Kommentar von 150870

Just a little useless tid bit of information, you can make it with Path of Frost and a Acherus Deathcharger from Darnassus to Darkshore over the Veiled Sea, I made it with 10 seconds to spare and no talents, enchants, or trinkets to boost mount speed.

Kommentar von 347550

Doesn't work on lava! Waaagh!

Kommentar von Xiffrudo

You DO take fall damage if you fall on the water with this on.

Just right-click it before falling or hold down the right-mouse button and look down - trust me, that works.

Kommentar von haxasarus

Alliance rush to BS is now viable!

Kommentar von anathor

Just wanted to confirm it's possible to fish while using Path of Frost. It can be useful in many ways:
- possible to fish while far from the coast, avoiding e.g. ganking and so on
- easier to see other players coming, and unless they attack directly from mount they have to swim and you can run
- more importantly: easier access to some nodes
- just looks cool (check the screenshot I submitted :)

Kommentar von 493928

Just a tip for those who haven't figured this out already...

While mining Adamantite in Nagrand, I noticed that every time I tried to dive down to mine the node I would have to swim back to shore before I could mount again. Then, I hit Path of Frost, jumped (so as to be on top of the water rather than swimming in it) and THEN I could mount. Saved me a lot of time and I was able to avoid fighting the water elementals between the node and the shore, too.

So if you're stuck in water for whatever reson...surface > path of frost > jump > mount

Works like a charm :)

Kommentar von 389759

Also a great way to make 24 people mad at you after the Twin Val'kyr in ToC.

Kommentar von 284472

This will allow you to eat while on water, particularly useful while killing something under water...

Kommentar von Bogdanov89

Very useful for killing Evermaw on the Timeless isle - or any other target in the waters.

Kommentar von 1195679

the tool tip says "For 10 mins." but for some reason my 87 death knight is receiving the buff for 13 mins I don't have the glyph or anything on that Should affect the time limit, is anyone else having this happen?

Kommentar von Bogdanov89

Since legion removed most glyphs Path of Frost has lost the useful reduced damage from falling utility.

Really sucks since legion has a lot of hills and areas where we could use the fall damage reduction.

Kommentar von MiniMule

It appears that group mates that have their Death Knight's Path of Frost on them no longer take damage from falling in to water with the buff applied. The Death Knight however does still take damage (although as others have mentioned "diving" with the camera might mitigate this.)

Similar to an aura, people affected by Path of Frost, other than the Death Knight themselves, cannot remove the effect.

Kommentar von StevenMagnet

One of the best not combat related abilities in BGs

Kommentar von xxxguzxxx

SKY GOLEM BROKEN WITH THIS SPELL

Kommentar von Pangolin

For some reason they added a standard character spell cast animation to it, making it look dumb.
