I tried ice shards and it was AMAZING when ur low leveled.
But problems comes with higher lvls.
-evades, one evade and it will ruin your day.
-inconsistent dmg, sometimes my firebolt hit higher lol.
-reload speed, self explanatory.
I don't know if OTM fixed the inconsistent dmg for shards but I hope you get the idea.
So here's my main question.
Should Ice shards even be touched?
Re: Should Ice shards even be used?
#2Only having a level 70 mage ill comment the best I can for what I am, with my firebolt I hit about 400 damage (max lure) and I hit about 700 ice shards (max lure). I can cast firebolt two times before i can cast 1 shards. Firebolt doesnt miss nearly as much as shards in my experience. I found it stupid that it missed so much and became a fire only mage. So I support that it needs to be fixed.

#3I dont use it,costs lots of energy and i can do 900s with bolt so dont need it :-)
If u dont use shards u can save points to put somewhere else ( also dont need to put in ice lure )
Full fire FTW!!

#4I still use it, 2nd highest dps spell even with its long cooldown. As a previous poster mentioned, the bummer is having to invest in lure of ice as well.

#6My pearl of wisdom, lol, is if u have ice shards and ice lure, you need to have boost maxed, shield maxed, focus maxed, and at least lvl 100+

#8Personally, i keep shards and ice lures at 1/25. I just use them while training simply to raise ice ability.
While lvling, i use fire spells and cloak and lure of fire mostly.

#9If you search you can find calibans ice Mage build which maxes ice shards. If you use lots of sigils it can be the most powerful build in the game. Even without sigils it provides lots of extra points to spend on support skills.

Re: Should Ice shards even be used?
#10I usually use ice shards simply because I want the ice lure for bosses so I might as well add to my own dps. If it was not for the group benefit I might try a fire build.
