    You know its sad when my ice when i was questing using frenzy into Reindeer Knight path B and Blizzard and it was getting more consistent results than frenzy into frost giant. And even nowadays in my 170 ice being my 3rd max, i do frenzy into tier 3 count frokula and then blizzard after, becuase its only 40 damage behind frost giant and i get to cleanup survivors with blizzard. Most the bosses are stun immune and basic enemies die before being stunned anyway. So my buff thoughts were to buff it to around 600 or 620 base damage (right behind forest lord) and remove the stun, or if they really don't want ice to do damage, keep it around 500 damage base (tier 1) but make it to where it gives the user a Power Pip after use so players can then use blizzard after frost giant. Storm lord has this issue now as well being out damaged by orhturus because of the stun it bears, but thats a topic for another day. Great vid! I hope frost giant gets better.

    It seems to me that most of the backlash they get is when they engage with a tiny subsection, usually on twitter who follow devs, rather than trying to reach the wider community. Even now with discord it's pretty much the same small community that the vast majority of players can't access. Given how long updates and changes are in the works, I'm sure they could spread a wider net beyond social media and give players time to discover it. Instead it seems short-term polls that most players aren't aware of until months after the fact (Leaf storm), which anyone with half a brain knows the majority of life wiz is going to choose that@@wesbrown738

    I might have a solution for those who want stun. Why not give it to Snow Angel? Which let's face it really needs buffiing as well. However I don't even remember the after-effects proper name, that is completely useless. Give snow angel the stun. It would certainly add more useful utility while allowing Frost giant to be buffed and more effective in PVE.

    The after effect of snow angel is 660 3 round dot (without an enchant that is) so the stun for it would be nice as it would give 1 turn of free damage while you get ready to use a finishing spell.

    7 pip ale spells are supposed to be work horse spells let alone a staple for each school. Storm Lord and Frost Giant have the most useless utility. They just need to remove it off these spells and give the damage it loses because it has the utility currently on the spell. No one is using these spells to use the utility we are using it to go for the kill.

    I honestly would not trust the discord to vote in the best interests of ice with regards to Frost giant. Might I remind you somewhere there was supposed to be a poll about whether life wizards want Leaf storm or some other spell. Everyone knows if you actually asked the life wizards what they would choose it would be a resounding Leaf storm. There's definitely some funky goings-on with KI polls. I honestly think it was rigged by KI themselves. I have no proof but there's no chance in hell that doesn't win in a complete landside. I'd also mention the latest monstrology update, Come on people wanted horse types? Yeah right I'm sure. Of all the things in the game we could have, that was the choice! LOL If it by some twist it's legit it certainly is not representative of the community as a whole.

    KI: "Stun is powerful, so the low damage is balancing the spell." Also KI: "Lets give every major enemy and boss Stun immunity, and allow things to stun players freely." If they wanna make one of Ice's utilities Stuns, they should remove Stun immunity from enemies. Still though, yeah Frost Giant is still weak. Reindeer Knight does more damage for some reason. :/ Nah if you want a REAL argument. I'd say combat falls apart the moment 2v1 Fights were introduced in PvE. Think about it... If fights were 1v1 with better AI, all those spells you wouldn't use, like traps and single target spells, suddenly get a LOT more value in PvE. Also, combat wouldn't get stale since you're using more than buff into AoE.

Not saying it should be nerfed but like why isn't that a prime example for why ice shouldn't be buffed i recently got to lvl 48 with ice and tried using frost giant for two ot 3 match than realized im wasting my time and went back to blizzard that's just depressing bro

    I am an ice main so I understand the difficulties of Ice, don't get me wrong I play all roles with max-level stats but within all those roles ice is the main problem. This game is sooooo unbalanced with this class, First, THIS SCHOOL HAS NO IDENTITY I will walk around with 60 to 80 resistance but find other roles to do the same. Second, Ice was supposed to have the highest health in the game but NOOO it's life now. What is Ice's role you may ask? according to the devs "Ice Wizards have the highest natural health points and defenses which enable them to take large amounts of damage without dying. It is very hard to defeat them."

    Ice dominated the PvP queue for over 10 years. Wizards across the spiral have suffered at the consequence of ice reigning supreme forever. The double blade, frostbite, into the abom has proven formidable to even the most experienced duelists. Nonetheless, brace spamming on the ice wizard made any attacks against the ice wizard futile. Now, it’s time for ice wizards to pay for the torture they’ve caused to PvP. #nerfice #removeicewizards #ABRACADABRAyouricewizard #ihateice

    I don’t know, but there has to be more to the picture than what an ice slanted view understands. I don’t mean that against you …I’m simply saying that it’s a perspective that is possibly not balanced, and the devs have a more balanced perspective. That’s the only feasible reason why such changes have not been made. There’s more to the global picture than what the ice slanted viewer understands. No other answer is feasible.
