Although you have a conflicted community atm, you have those who enjoy the utility and ice dps variants for both PvE and PvP who are against these changes and those who are wanting to embrace a new tanking method. It needs...more though, it is basically a weaker sword and board currently.

@Ajaxduo Perhaps I'm missing something, what utility is being taken away? And dps wise only thing would be the 8% single target / aoe from ancient knowledge
The way to do frost tanking would be to finally add the missing skill lines to a fifth class, with cold tanking line, necro/ cold conjuration summoning line, and some other random line they think of.

[SNIp] this tanking is - stupid, annoying and no-one wanted it but you're determined to make it happen regardless.
Just do us a favour and revert it with the next update and chalk it up to "experience" [SNIp]

I'm actually surprised ice staff tanking hasn't been reverted yet. I think it's great that ZOS is trying to add more versatility to tanking specs, but converting ice staves is not the way to go. It's a dps weapon for crying out loud. Makes no sense to make a dps weapon utter useless for dps, instead of providing it something like armor/spell penetration to be more competitive with flame and lightning staves...

It was added. It became clear in 2 days that it was terrible. Now everyone has just abandoned ship. If they don't change anymore this will be garbage and nobody will use it apart from a few snowflake (ha, see what I did there?) builds.
It's sad.
Wrobel said Frost Staff tanking is not something we will have to use . It is just for exploration and trying out new stuff , making different builds . That means it is not going to change , probably . You didn't listen to any feedback we gave and just wasted a huge opportunity of creating a build diversity for tanks ZOS . Now we are stuck with Ebon/Alkosh with double 1h/s for another year . Hope you prove me wrong and make it a little bit useful for tanks at least before release of Update 13 .

What if I told you Frost Staff is completely useless in anywhere else ? If you are doing PvE as a DD , you shouldn't be using Frost Staff anyways . In PvP , you can get snare from almost every skill and still can perma-root other players . Whatever you say , it still got buffed when you compare to previous Frost Staff passives . What is the problem ?
