Thoughts and Changes on Ice Furnace Heavy Armour Set!

I've been interested in this set ever since it was scaled upto 160CP. However trying it out had a couple of problems.
1) The weapon damage bonus clearly needs to be Magicka related due to how the 5 bonus works.
2) Since the 5 bonus procs from cold damage, it needs to be ALL cold damage (wall of elements, destructive touch dot, etc).
3) Just squeeze a little bit more damage on the 5 bonus and the set will be of use to some people

✭✭✭Change Weapon Damage to Spell Damage.Since it seems to underperform I intend to test a combination of Winterborn and Ysgramor's Birthright for my cold specialist.
Winterborn
(2 items) Adds 967 Max Magicka
(3 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) When you deal damage with a Cold Damage ability, you have an 8% chance to summon an ice pillar that deals 7967 Cold Damage to all enemies in a 3 meter radius. The ice pillar persists for 2 seconds and reduces the Movment Speed of all enemies within the radius by 60%.
Ygramor's Birthright
(2 items) Adds 1064 Max Health
(3 items) Adds 967 Max Magicka
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) Adds 400 Spell Damage to your Cold Damage abilities.
A Master's or Maelstrom Ice Destro staff would fit in there nicely.1 -

That's close to my Cryomancer's build, but I don't have a Master/Maelstrom Ice staff so I'm wearing 1 piece Kena, 5 pieces Ysgramor (including staves) and 5 pieces Winterborn. I got my last Winterborn piece last night, though, so I didn't have a lot of time to see how I like it. It looks okay on paper, though.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

The intended build was for it to boost Damage of an Ice Staff. Back when it was created, staff damage was controlled by Weapon Damage. They changed it so staff damage scaled off Spell Damage, but never fixed this set to accompany that change.@Mic1007

✭✭✭✭✭Change Weapon Damage to Spell Damage.It makes basicly no sense the way it's set up currently. You want a magicka tank set? Fine, which is...odd considering how few magicka tanks are viable, but fine, but what is with the weapon damage?
It dont make a lick of sense.0 -

Nice! I'm trying to get the Winterborn set. Always wanted to do a frost build

Indeed, I would love to do this build. Just need on more Winterborn and Masters Ice Staff
