Manald Heal worked great, it's a great success, so let's do the same here. MH has 14000% dmg on a 15% stun chance of Paralysis, so they thought that 10000% dmg on 20% chance on frozen is about the same.
But it's not.
First of all, Paralysis proc chance and duration is not diminished by other CC effects. Secondly, Paralysis itself is the "proc" that counts; Rimeheart has a 20% chance on top of a CC effect. If Rimeheart ever works, it'll only be for solo wizards, probably combined with Halo of Arlyse. Since I don't care about solo builds, for me Rimeheart is still dead.
I'd love to see them rework Rimeheart completely to something that doesn't make it subject to CC effect gambling. Something like gaining a debuff after being hit by cold spells or so. But if they just tweak the numbers, they'd have to make it crazily overpowered for solo before it becomes even remotely useful for groups.
