Why is frost wall so inconsistent at blocking certain player projectile attacks (namely explosive arrow)?

Teams cannot be correctly set on the client for objects that aren't actors. This is a known bug which is difficult to solve because migrating team serialisation code to generic object code breaks existing and required functionality in other cases.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Duration: Higher skill gem levels will improve base wall duration, which can be further modified by "skill duration" passives and supports.
  • Permeability: Players, monsters and most projectiles can not pass through a frost wall. There are some exceptions: teleporting and leaping skills, and all projectiles fired by the caster of Frost Wall pass through a Frost Wall.
  • Invincible: Frost Walls cannot be destroyed by any amount of damage.
  • Can be used in left mouse button slot to cast and move.
  • Spell Totem Support creates a totem with 3 charges that have a cooldown. A new totem can be placed after all 3 charges are used up, instead of waiting for the totem's cooldown.
