I can jump will frozen. Anyway, this is annoying when the ice bats are micro bosses because it takes a few hits to be able to kill them and that means there are other bosses around that can trample you. |

I'd definitely support a change here; either to make it non-stacking, or have a limit of, say, 75% slowing. Although even 75% slowing for 5 seconds is likely to spell death. |

This is working as intended -- they stack on purpose, and can indeed freeze you in place. Forgot to mention that. The jumping thing... hmm. I made it so that jumping is not affected by this because when you're at half-speed that would be extra annoying, but I guess if your speed is zero it could be that you can't jump either. I dunno, but that's a bit of a different topic for later.
The general rule is: don't get hit by these if you can at all help it. It doesn't prevent you from acting, just from moving, so it's not a death sentence -- probably.
Ultimately the counter to these will particularly be the shield spells and similar, to keep them from being able to touch you. I really need to add those in... |

Heh. Can't wait until those shield spells get put in :P They seem to be counters to lots of things lately :D |

Well, they've been a part of the design for a while, so I design enemies and such with them in mind... but haven't put them in yet, which really derails things. I keep having it on my list every day to do, and then keep getting derailed into that other thing. But I'll see if I can get that in tonight, it's way past time, heh. |

This has turned some level 1 micro boss fights into much harder affairs than they should be. The time should stack, not the movement penalties. Otherwise, this is really rough on people just getting into the game. |

Ice bats shouldn't be around until level 6 at least -- not sure why those are showing up as microboss fights at all... |

I had a group of four microboss rampaging ice-bats. Once I got frozen, it was lights out. I couldn't move for the rest of the fight, and while I could hit them, they collectively had WAAAAY too much health to take out before I got smashed. I don't mind the small enemies being able to freeze me, since I can conceivably take them out in 3-4 shots. But, the microbosses being able to completely freeze? Not fun. |

Shield spell is coming in this very next release. The problem is that you don't have the right counter for the bats yet. |
