Ice Block with deliberate cancellation

Normal press attempts Ice Block; hold Shift to cancel an active Ice Block without recasting.

Targeting and features

Shift: remove Ice Block only → Without Shift: stop current cast, then attempt Ice Block

ModifierStopcasting

Requirements

  • Cast branch only: Learned Ice Block; the source records its first rank at level 25. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
  • Cast branch only: An actual point in the Ice Block talent (Frost) and its prerequisites; selecting a recommended spec alone does not grant it.
  • Cancellation branch: Ice Block must already be active. Removing an aura does not require learning the spell, allocating its talent or consuming its reagent.

Known limitations

  • Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
  • Modifier keybindings can intercept the combination. Spell selection is manual; an unlearned or unavailable modifier action does not fall back to the default spell.
  • This deliberately interrupts your current cast/channel when its stop condition matches, even if the new spell is on cooldown or cannot complete. It does not bypass the global cooldown.
  • Removing the aura ends its protection immediately. Normal presses do not contain a cancellation command.

Notes

  • Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
  • Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
