Kaliki✭✭✭✭I like to use my ice staff in Alik'r Desert

TheNephilimCrow✭✭✭Following up on my question I would like to hear from some people who actually use the ice staff (mostly interested in PvP) and what their experiences with it are. So, have at it guys!
I like to use Ice Staff on my Sorcerer sometimes. More especially when switching to my Single DPS bar, its amazing for rooting players while I cast other spells and Frag.
On my former "Night Witch" build I switched out Cripple for its root when using Destruction Staff, for the same reason as mentioned above.PSN, Youtube & Twitch: TheNephilimCrow

Ariisen✭✭✭I use it just because I'm unlucky and can't drop a master weapon I acturally want.
Need a Master Resto Staff and a Master Lightning Staff?
Okay, you get 3 Master Greatswords, 1 Master Sword and 1 Master Ice Staff with Defending trait...

✭✭✭✭IMO Ice can be the best staff for a caster in PVP.
1. The Power Attacks snare the enemy and give you a damage sheild.
2. The Ice Reach root is very useful for counter Wrecking Blow and melee users on classes that don't have easy access to these.
3. Ice Reach will root Vampies in Mist form and the Heavy Attack snares though Mist Form.
4. With a group Ice Impulse is very useful as the Chill Status from Impulse can snare everyone around you making the rest of your groups Proxy, Steel Nado, etc much harder to get away from.
5. The built in snare, daamge shield on heavy attacks, and rooting from the Ice Staff is useful for magic ranged based Templars and can even bu useful for Puncturing Sweep builds as the snares and roots make it harder to get away from the Jabs.
As for the Lighting Staff, it used to be my favorite, but its horrid to weave with now, i don't know it its bugged or what, but weaving with it is way harder and buggy then the other two staffs. it never used to be this way, which is a shame cus Lighting's Concussion status is the best elemental status in the game which is a shame....Concussion reduces the enemies weapon and spell daamge by 15% for 6 secs....its the best status by far...just a shame Lighting Staffs since IPC launch have been so hard to weave and use

"Here in his shrine, that they have forgotten. Here do we toil, that we might remember. By night we reclaim, what by day was stolen. Far from ourselves, he grows ever near to us. Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be. - Miraak3 -

✭✭✭✭✭I use ice staff in both PvE and PvP, and I love it! Frost Reach is great for pinning an enemy in place while doing damage. If they roll dodge just hit it again... drives 'em crazy, probably because most players have fire staves so they're not used to it.
Frost Blockade can also be used as a poor man's Caltrops, since it creates a 60% snare zone over a large area.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE3 -
Ice staff is great for pvp. Frost reach shuts Temps down. Also makes people panic dodge roll and can run someone out of Stam fast.1 -

I like it but the particle effects are not just ugly, it seems someone ripped them off from a ps1 game.0 -
