Ice staff + Winter's balance

I would just like to say I'm pleased I can dps again with my ice staff. I didn't even think about increasing the damage of its light attacks so I don't have to use heavy attacks and taunt mobs.

Kudos and thank you ZoS

Ps
I just wish I saved my Winterborn set. ☹️

    Winterborn is not good, i will throw it for Juliano
    .
    Try test it proc on dummy, it hardly procs with AOE so you have to keep cast ice spells..

    Julianos is better for sure but for the fun of playing an ice mage build it's nice on a warden. Also I think it's silly when people say frost staves are unusable on anyone but a magic tank. I use mine with my winterborn warden on my back bar. I do my AOE rotation with light attack weaves and do the frost wall of elements then swap to my front bar lightning staff for heavy attacks. It's not super powerful but that's mostly cause the magic warden's DPS is pathetic right now. My ice heart/winterborn procs all the time

    Both ice staff and Winterborn are junk for DPS.

    I love Frost Staff for PvP, and sometimes (when I'm not healing) I like to wear my Winterborn Neck, Rings and 2 Light pieces with my Heavy Seducer in Frost Caster style spamming Blockade, Gripping Shards and using the Elemental Rage ulti :p lot of fun

    To a min-maxer maybe. But whether you're doing 31 or 41k DPS matters precious little where actual combat is concerned.

    Let me just maximize my dps and become like everyone else then.

    I love being a frost mage, I wish ZoS would do things to make the DPS more viable. But right now it's worth seeing those spikes appear even if it isn't min-maxed.

    Wardens cap out at around 31k with best-in-slot gear lol (they're terribly underpowered).

    You're going to be lucky to push 15k with that setup, and that'll gimp you even in vet dungeons. Sure they're easy, but if you don't have a stronger DPS next to you, you might run into some trouble here and there (and you certainly won't make things easy for your tank and healer).
