Ice Furnace build theory

Assuming that they aren't changing Ice Furnace. And Assuming that I have just farmed enough of it to be able to use it.

What would fit well with it? It seems like it was designed for a hybrid warden, so I'm taking that idea and running with it.

What would you match with it?

I'm thinking Pelinial or Shacklebreaker and Kena (just 1) to boost damage (mind you i say just 1 helm b/c both bars will have frost damage and they both will be 2 handed weapons)

Odin banker - obv banker
Yan of the Red Mountain - lvl 3 DK - not sure when I will work on em

    I toyed with the idea of ice furnace/winterborn/illambris but never got around to trying it.

    Puuuh... Ice Furnace is a heavy set and therefor comes only in health jewels, right?

    What do you want it for, PvP i think?

    I haven't gotten to deep into the new class but some fundamentals I used on my hybrid sorc was:

    1) be sure to chose Dunmer for additional stamina and magicka
    2) robust willpower or arcan agility jewls
    3) if you don't use vMA weapons, you can use 2 piece of leki or torug to boost your weapon/ spell dmg further
    4) Tri stat food and Prismatic Glyphs

    With that you can easily achieve around 20k health, 28k mag and 25k stam 3.2-3.3 weapon and spell dmg. But your recovery will suck. This does not include any buffs from warden skills but major brutality/sorcery, weapon dmg glyph proc and full Wrath.

    The healthy jewelry might allow you to use Blue Stam/Magic food instead of Purple Tristat food or anything else with a health component... But what are you going to be proccing the effect with? I wasn't under the impression that any of the class ice skills were Direct Damage.

    Force pulse and L/Heavy frost staff attacks. That's it. And that's why the set is awful.

    I think some class ice skills have direct damage components. Will test.

    I was under the impression the first damage done by a dot counts for many such things. I however have no means to test yet.

    There is also clench, and typically damage done by proc sets can count i.e. Winterborn.

    I still probably wouldn't use this particular set, however it's an interesting idea

    Did a little bit of testing. Most of Warden's class abilities don't work. not sure about the crystalized slap (can't test with target skelly)

    Does it proc off weapon enchants? Like if you had a sword with a icey enchantment?

    I'm trying to get a sharpened ice furnace lightning staff to try a end game pve build only because wardens are soooo weak at the moment.
    My idea was ice furnace jewlery 1body piece and front bar lightning staff. With 4 moondancer body peices and a moon dancer ice staff back bar, with your choice of monster set. This way you won't need points in health to reach the 17k minimum.
    Ps the monster set has to be light armor also. So 6-1
    If not ice furnace maybe just ysgamors in it's place.
    Hoping for constant 1.8-2k flame pulses. You feel me
