Hello as resident ice user #3 I feel like I should say that ice’s main weakness is the speed, which means pairing it with light would be a good combo. It won’t be quite as good as a combo as ice/water ice/wind etc. but it still would work, making up for the low damage of light.

4

tbh use crystal instead of ice since its synergizes with light

first character ever was an ice mage back in WoM (because what else would i be) which turned into an ice conjurer in AO

in WoM, where we just didn’t have 2nd magics, if your magic is lacking in an area, it’s probably gonna be overlooked and suck against most other people using other magics
luckily, 2nd magics exist now, so you could go with a logical water + ice combo, or you could be like me and think that you could get 40% damage synergies for basically free on top of being able to have it work through the weapons you’re using.

BOY, WAS I WRONG!
the only upside to imbuing your weapons is the size increase (which i don’t even know what the difference is) and that’s it. shittier damage, and significantly worse speed. we were SUPPOSED to get a bug fix that fixed the whole thing with imbuement synergies literally doing fucking nothing, but that DIDN’T HAPPEN. neither did the +0.1x damage increase to imbues that would’ve at least made the speed nerf feel like enough of a tradeoff.
seriously, vetex, why the FUCK do you want to put potions in your game over fixing this
WHO IN GOD’S GREEN EARTH ACTUALLY LIKES HAVING TO MAKE POTIONS IN ANY GAME INSTEAD OF JUST BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITHOUT THE ROADBLOCKS
also the 40% was nerfed to, like, 20% for balance purposes, which is pretty fair ig

you won’t have to worry about ice conj though, considering that you want to go for a paladin, so, it should be pretty alright if you’ve got another cold magic to go along with it
(if you DO want to go ice conjurer, though, just use a bleed weapon and put ice blast to good use.)

also nice sonic colors reference
never played it but i understood

yo

the only other magic i’ve used is snow, so i can’t really compare ice to anything else, but it’s working well for me on my full attack speed build, it has decent damage and size so i don’t feel like i’m lacking anything

also if lunar is added and is still glowing water it’s definitely gonna synergise with it

9

I have been summoned!

Also good luck hitting ice blasts unless you’re in extremely close range or they aren’t paying attention.

Honestly imbueing ice into your weapons is not worth it since it decreases both your speed and damage on the weapon. The only few cases you would want to imbue are when you want to increase the size of a weapon or you’re using a sunken sword.

10

so lunar was removed from the list before the list entirely was hidden
wouldnt really expect it to come out, felt pretty random besides the name

11

was it? i don’t remember that

12

well i dont have any evidence soooooo

13

I’ve never used ice in AO so I can’t give you much info on it, sorry.

I am a good connoisseur for the following however:

:shadow_magic: :poison_magic_var2: :crystal_magic_var3: :crossed_swords:

14

looking through reminders for ao part 2, i only see people talking about mud and promethean fire being removed before the entire list was

15

please please tell me this is just very good bait and that lunar is still gonna be a magic

As an ice conjurer, a lot of the potential is lost due to the synergy bug. Even tho i still deal a decent amount of damage and have a size increase, my attacks are a bit slower compared to other imbuedments (not to mention the reduced damage mentioned earlier in this thread) and i don’t have a second magic to take advantage of the cool combinations that it has with other magics to make up for the losses. I just hope the bug gets fixed so we can take the extra damage buff to compensate for the weaknesses we have.

17

ice conjuror sucks until vetex fixes synergies

18

yeah all you get is a size increase but a speed decrease as well as a dmg decrease

19

as far as i know i think they’re wrong, the only magics that’ve been mentioned as removed were mud and promethean fire

on top of that, lunar is a genuinely loved magic by the community, removing it would be an extremely stupid choice that could actually hurt vetex’s reputation if anything.

Mud was only liked because let’s be real here, it was a joke magic at best.

And absolutely nobody likes pr*methean fire (except pox you weird)
