I've been playing LoD less than a week now, but I came across something disconcerting. Running my Paladin up to lvl 23 now, part of his equipment through Act III is a Plate Mail armor with the Frost Shield attribute, that grants a 5% chance to cast a Level 4 Frost Nova when struck.
Playing through Act III with the armor in place, I did encounter many instances where the Frost Nova was shot off, but apparently to no effect. To test this further, I returned the Paladin to Act I's Dark Wood and had the Carver crowds play with him. Off went the Frost Nova, but the Normal Difficulty Carvers took no damage. No casualties, no woundings. The effect is suppossed to be that of a Level 4 Frost Nova, with all the damage that entails that. Yet the FN appears to be wholly ineffective.
Is this a known defect of that attribute, or a conflict of character classes?

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
