I can agree somewhat that 2 sec blowup and slow was good too.. however this change does increase our survivability a lot.
Like Lyon pointed out, this is very good to run in round-robin in combination with Thunder, especially if you have a healer partner.


What I do is that I have 4 buttons dedicated to this rotation. On any press of these buttons, I will perform TS + FNT + CL + Frost Shock.

1. You immediately get melee range opponents off you.
2. Your targeted melee opponent is frost shocked and will take a long time to come back.
3. Any other melee opponents that return quickly will get stunned by the nova totem, buying you a lot of time to surive AoE stuns, AoE silence, burst damage.. etc.
