    I'd take an "ice mage" over my pathetic DK any day, but maybe it's just me.

    Here is a fun fact, they will always make npc skills look better then ours. Its something they not only have done but actively made ours look worse so they wouldn't confuse people as to what they were standing in. So you will never get the cool npc abilities in this game.

    Zos doesnt seem to get the idea that looking cool is a large part of player satisfaction. I mean not just ice spells but look at the cool bone abilities necrovamps get in Greymoore. It's way cooler then anything player necros get, plus their vamp abilities look cooler too, and these are things fresh level 3's fight.

    So very true, although this is a ice mage thread, I feel like when they came out with necromancer even their elements they could have given them cold fire elements. Or dark magic to have them stand out more. This whole copy and paste of abilities and elements has gotten stale.

    yep, i liked the original idea of frozen colossus being a bone dragon instead of a grotesque fat flesh dude.
