This occurs even if you are NOT in the ice field.

I'm not able to repro this on the current live build. Is this happening to you every single time? I'm wondering if I'm missing something here.

 

@Lexie

Just reproduced. I was in a POT this time (was in Elysium Mines before).

See the screenshots below:

1) Ice field cast away from my avatar - note the Ice Field debuff icon below my avatar title on the upper left

2) Ice field cast centered on my avatar - note the Ice Field debuff icon below my avatar title on the upper left

I get the icon for it but I am not actually effected by it. Did you try moving around to see if you move rate is really decreased?

 

Ah ok - looks like your actual movement speed is not affected. Good call.

But it's confusing that Ice Field icons shows up, and your avatar shows the ice particles trailing from you. I think the ice field icons/effects shouldn't show for the caster.

 

Its kinda nice as it will allow you to know when to cast it again. Same thing happens with ring of fire.

 

That is just a timer showing you that the spell is in effect, not that it is affecting you personally. Yes, it is a little confusing. When a mob runs over the field you will see their health bars reflect a recurring slowdown, something like 3-5secs, until they are outside the field. A problem I do have, however, is that the Ice Field will disappear before the timer on my bar has elapsed, though mobs are still affected by it. Also, the radius of the VFX do not match the Effect radius. So, even though a mob is visually inside the ice field, they are no longer being affected.
