Ice Staff Heavy Attack.

For PvE tanking Ice Staff is a cool concept but doesn't offer the same armour debuffs as sword and board.

I believe heavy attack should apply Fracture and possibly Breach.

    LOL. This would surely be fun for PvE Tanking but completly broken in PvP :smile:

    Not a well thought idea. It will be extremely op. Also the concept of taunting with an ice staff ha is to have a range taunt other than inner fire and not to apply armor debuffs. Crusher glyph on an infused ice staff is a good idea to apply an amount of armor debuff on mobs that you need to range taunt. Alkosh is also a way to debuff in pve. But ha itself applying armor debuffs is completely unnecessary.

    I would already be happy if medium frost heavy attacks could already taunt.
    Superior to inner fire for sure. Yet I think Frost Staff can use some appeal over other options.

    Trinimac is my shield,
    Magnus is my mind.

    Just make it a DPS thing, ice staff tanking is daft and takes away from ICE wardens RP experience when we have to run a flame staff.

    Given that taunt is not debuff or damage by itself, I don't know why ZOS is so attached to inner fire. Medium ice attacks as taunt will be awesome thing and also will clean up one much needed slot on backbar.
    ZOS, do it! No chance this will have any impact on PVP but all PVE folks will be grateful, variety for tank's bars will increase too. As for now it's always the same (with adaptation to particular boss).
