Jade Heritage (Warbringer Ascendancy Node)

This is a cool idea, but in practice, does not work well. Feedback below:

1. IMO, because this is an 'oh crap' skill, some sort of built-in regen during the 4 seconds you are frozen would be nice. Maybe 1% or 2% regen per Jade stack when the skilled is used.

2. There needs to be one of the following (at a minimum, probably both) built into this skill: a massive explosion of jade when it wears off that knocks back all of the surrounding mobs (possibly a short 0.5 second stun), as well as 0.5 or 1.0 second immunity timer. This is because the way you have coded your monsters, they are beating on you/winding up spells/launching projectiles while you are frozen in jade. So you are actually MORE LIKELY to die using this skill than not using it.

3. You are not actually immune to death during this skill, so for example using it in Ultimatum, the tornado came over me when I used it and it killed me through the jade (lol)

Anyway, I think you get a sense of the issue with this ascendancy node. I hope you adjust it, it's a cool idea in principle, but it can't just lock you in place when the most important thing keeping us alive in POE 2 is our ability to move.

had the same exact experience with the jade skill in ultimatum
and it feels kinda lack luster lol, but the 10% flat physical damage reduction when you have 10 stacks is pretty nice for mapping.
I think that it Would be nicer without the "active" effect, IF there are some other type of buff, like the possibility to use it like the "Waking Dream" --> support that need spirits without reserve it.

I think the actual state of the ascendancy is awkward
