im not sure ..... but in most RPG's , mmo or not, weapon procs, and in this case, the frequency of the proc, is directly related to the speed of the weapon, eg. the slower the weapon, the more often it procs. it would go to say that in this case the best wepaon to enchant with chill would be a two hander of any sort


maybe thats just old school logic and maybe im showing m age a bit by saying it.... could be wrong :)

ICY wouldn't proc for me, now it does. I'm going to describe what changed to get it working with my 1H sword. It may sound strange, but it made the difference. Now it usually procs once per fight, sometimes twice. I've even seen it proc for longer than 10 sec but that was probably two fast procs in a row.

I first started using it on a Rune Sword (rare) in my off-hand. At that time I was almost always in Arathi Basin battleground. My main hand had a Dazzling Longsword (epic), buffed with Fiery Weapon. Fiery proc'd multiple times in combat, but Icy never seemed to proc. I tried putting it in main hand and using a shield, but it wouldn't proc in the BG. I'd stop after a fight and look through the combat log but it just never went off.

I took it out of the BG, used in main hand with a shield in off-hand, but same thing except I did see it proc maybe once or twice in 5-10 combats, very feeble. I'd read this thread and saw others as frustrated as I was with the lack of proc'ing, but then others who said it was doing ok, so I decided to try another configuration, and that's when it started working. What I did was put it in main hand and got another fast sword, but not Epic, only Rare, with Crusader buff in my off-hand. As soon as I did that (not in a BG though), the damn Icy sword started proc'ing almost every combat, and sometimes twice. The off-hand Hanzo sword also seems to proc Crusader about the same, almost every combat, sometimes twice in a combat. But when Crusader is in main hand and Icy in off-hand, Icy doesn't like to proc, just like before.

RECOMMENDATION: if Icy won't proc for you, make sure it's in your main hand if you're dual wielding. If you're not dual wielding, try it outside a battleground. Call me crazy, but I think being in a BG suppresses it somehow.

Hope this makes sense. If I find other clues to the Icy mystery, I'll update this post. For now, I'm keeping Icy for main hand when dual wielding, since Crusader seems to proc ok in off-hand.

Okay ppl keep saying that Icy is great and this and that, but here's the honest truth:

First off, speed reduction debuffs do not stack,

Okay now that we have that set, lets take a look at the different melee classes, Rogue, Warrior, Paladin ( i would include shamans but i've mostly seen them Cast and not Melee in PvP, and i know nothing about shamans in PvE). Now lets take a look at what slowing effects rogues have, well for one they can kidney shot, for two they have crippling poison, which procs quiet often ( about as much as Fiery does at 52). Warriors get Hamstring, and some finishing moves, execute. Paladins do not get a slowing spell, however they do have hammer of wrath, works out just as nicely and has a large range. Now, i've just pointed out native ways that a meleer would slow someone down in PvP and PvEm why would you want to go with something over 40 extra damage, that procs about every third hit, two weapons with fiery that's 80 dmg every third hit ( that converts into +26 DPS). And if your a rogue, proc enchants are NOT what you want for PvP, you want stat enchants. You shouldn't be hitting a clothy more than 4 hits anyway.

And Fiery should be cheaper too.

P.S. Fiery can crit for 60 damage.

So it doesn't actually do any ice damage?

This enchant barely ever goes off, its MUCH better to get ANY other enchant but this, its only good for the looks imo...

Crusader Enchant ftw ;)

LOL Thats crazy the prices ur posting I got Essence of air for 20g the rest I found. Guess I'm lucky :) I'm on the Khaz'Goroth server and the Icy Chill goes for 35g if you don't have mats.

I really don't think its worth it.
the proc. chance is (as mentioned before) INSANELY low.. I would say fiery wep. enchant is better AND cheaper :P but the icy chill glow looks sooooo much better then the normal demonslaying/fiery glow..
so it's a look-good enchant ;P (not for use on very slow weapons, like 2 handed ones, due to the low procc. rate)

Basicly a 'look-nice' enchant.

Got it for 15g. The enchant. I've had it for a week now, and dissapointingly, haven't noticed it proccing once yet.

found this twice today and yesterday at kel'theril ghosts.

It used to be 40g on AH (formula), but i guess it's more like 10g now. damnit. ;)

i can do this enchant and its way worth it for all melle classes nice ass glow aswell as good proc ability on stormscale it sells for bout 50-60g which is def worth it but fiery wep is also good fiery wep is good for pallies and roue icwey is good for all fiery do = dmg and warrior dont rely on dmg trust me i roll one

Just to add,

For me, the proc rate seems a bit slow,
and to note, the length of time the spell lasts on the mob is about 10 seconds, if that.

Also, if you have a weapon that has a natural proc, you can enchant this to it and have two procs. but not two enchants.

hope that helps.

do weapon enchantments stack on weapons? like demonslaying and icy chill on one weapon? probably not huh?

It took me about 2 weeks to get all the dots for this particular enchant. I added it to my
Silent Fang
Binds when picked up
Main Hand Sword
45 - 85 Damage Speed 1.60
(40.6 damage per second)
Durability 90 / 90
Requires Level 57
Chance on hit: Silences an enemy preventing it from casting spells for 6 sec.
Sells for 5 Gold 68 Silver 80 Copper to vendors

The enchantment glows a VERY VERY BRIGHT WHITE!
It slows the targets movement by 70% and slows the targets attck speed by 20%. The proc goes off at least once a fight I have found. I have had it go off the most 4 times in a fight. Its extremly useful and I like it very very much.
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET THE ESSENCE OF AIR, is to have a very high alchamist transute an essence of water into an essence of air. If you cant find one look to pay anywhere from 30 to 50 gold for one essence of air. Yes they are that rare.

Sells for about 100g to players. :P

Sold one tonight.

Anyone have this? Is it worth it?
