Can you defeat things? Sure of course. Can you defeat them quickly? No. Not at all. Not outside overland mobs anyway. But hey good job paying attention to not using Tri Focus, that alone will earn you brownie points as a Frost user.

Yeah, I'm hating Tri-focus. Always stealing aggro from my Clanfear tank.

I wouldn't have gotten it, had I known more about it, but SOME silly thing (called the Skill Adviser) said it was something I wanted.

Not to deviate too much but.......I made my Tank an Ice Staff and it's actually FUN to be able to use the Ice Staff and have it be useful

Magden or not, fire is the best. Reason why is DKs increase the damage a mob takes from fire damage. Plus fire blockade damage gets increased by 20 percent against burning targets, it does more damage then the lightning variant.

Sorcs can use lightning though, I’m not sure why. I don’t play that class.

If you get a proper rotation down and you find yourself a friendly guild there shouldn't be a problem, even running trials is possible. But as people stated above already the passives just need a overhaul, so that ice is more desirable.

From the tanking side I can say I really enjoy the ice staff, it's a great possibility as well, I think they should add another passive just for frost damage but also keep the taunt thingy.
