The usefulness of Breath of Winter is "(mostly) none" because real, big, tough SCs are the only thing it's useful on.

In all other cases, it's only a great way to kill fellow mages or bodyguards. And sadly the spellcasting AI is too fond of the spell ...

Btw, haven't been SCs nerfed in Dom3?

Liferain has been, or so I've read.

Well, since SCs are what do most of your killing for most of the game, I still don't see why that's a bad thing. Compare the difference between a Niefel Jarl with and without breath of winter cast to see the difference between chill and BoW.

In all other cases, it's only a great way to kill fellow mages or bodyguards. And sadly the spellcasting AI is too fond of the spell ...

If you are worried about mages casting it when they shouldn't, then a better change would be to make mages not cast it automatically rather than to make the spell useless.

Nope, it was useful with any thug also, as long as it doesn't operate amongst friendly frail mages or troops.

It was an overpowerful spell IMHO, but I second Graeme, making it useless is not a good answer ...
