Does Ice Suck?

[Xoth]

All i have found were posts from 2009, is it still bad?

Ice is a tank based class so they're really not good for dealing a lot of damage. However since it's a tank class you will have a lot of resistance and health so it's not that bad if you use ice properly.

Ice is probably the worst to do pve content with, followed up by life and balance.

Ice was seen as the most op school for a long time. However, after the recent updates they're not the most op anymore. Ice is still a solid school in both pve and pvp.

Only an ice wizard would say they don't suck

It's an easy school that allows you to make mistakes, as a tradeoff it's pretty bad (in PvE, can't speak for PvP).

Damage dealers live and die by the rule: "Can't get hurt if the enemy is already defeated."

Ice players live by the rule: "Can't die so it doesn't matter even if every battle is an arc long."

And to an extent, Life and Death can do the same thing in team and solo scenarios. They give up damage for something that actually matters, like spells that basically supply you AND your teammates with infinite HP or a multitude of stackable buffs.

Basically, look at it like this. There's only one person here actually arguing for ice, while everyone else seems to be against it. That should tell you plenty.

The easiest explanation is that Ice is a defense focused class with low dmg output, which can be useful in pvp, but is completely unnecessary in pve. It's very low dmg output makes questing even more long and tedious, with extremely extended battles for users of this school.

It's not needed, and just makes encounters take too long. I think Ice and Balance are probably the worst for pve at the moment, followed up by life.
