I haven't spent the time yet to check which element the spell attack is exactly but it could be tested easily with the mantras of X element.

Please, your not the first one to doubt me. Go try it before you say you can't block them. The snowballs are the same skills as wintersday snowball fights. In those fights you get an enchant which blocks projectiles. Thus the same mechanic works in the snowman dungeon.

So if you want a good 50% block reduction you could try aegis (unsure about aegis but know defensive anthem elite works through personal testing).

Does the Ebon Vanguard skill [wiki]Winds[/wiki] block them?

Also [skill]Maelstrom[/skill] FTW

You could try the skill and see. The only one I have been able to confirm is defensive anthem (was quite easy just by watching all the snowballs come and health not dropping as fast).

So if someone else would like to try winds and aegis they can feel free to try.

I tried winds and I think it works. Hard to confirm it though.
