Make Frost Staffs Great.

Current.
Charged Frost Heavy Attack taunt the enemy to attack you for 15 seconds and grant a damage shield that absorbs 805 damage.
While a Frost Staff is equipped, blocking cost Magicka instead of Stamina.

I would suggest giving Frost Staffs a cost reduction along with 2/3 the damage of flame staffs so around 8%.

    They could keep the current passive if they just make it an existing morphs.

    What exactly are you asking for? A cost reduction for what? And 2/3 of fire damage for what?

    It probably could be a good idea to restore Frost staff as DPS weapon (to make frost a viable damaging element) with making it in the middle between fire and lightning.

    Like passive which increases both AOE and single target dmg for 4% when frost staff is equipped and heavy frost attacks get small damage increase and small AOE damage component.

    This could open a hole new possibility of building your characters with selecting frost as viable dps option (I.e., for mag warden builds with their natural frost skills as well).

    As for frost staff tanking, I think it shouldn’t be a staff but other special weapon or even just special “mana” passive for 1h and shield which adds possibility to spend magicka on block and so on.

    can't wait to see frost staff tanking in action (due to 2x bonus from 2h item, obviously). Though i don't think this give much of a difference - blockade of frost to slow down mobs for 3-4 seconds + AoE agro sounds not like a big deal. But i hope my tank become 100% self-sustain with no Shards and Orbs.

    Planning on turning my (underplayed) templar tank into an ice staffer this patch as their sustain is terrible on stamina :(

    Would it make sense to play pvp stamplars with a froststaff backbarred....?
    Just came into my mind.

    First question: A cost reduction to magicka abilities while a Frost staff is equiped.
    Second question: Fire staffs have a passive that increases flame staff damage. Lightning staffs increase splash damage.
