IceShot

[XxArcherXx]

as it as atm, IceShot seems like a complete waste of time to cast. I've been having a little test with it most of the day and it seems like it only slows 1/20 hits (which is ridiculous).

How about increasing the delay on it, but making the slow effect alot more frequent? So its actually worthwhile to use it.

Imo should proc less than frost crunch, mostly used for bossing, can't see any other use for it.

Ive been using it vs's boss's all day (IWT / KingHog) and like i said, it'll proc 1 in 20 (sometimes more) shots, fairly pointless to even cast it

give it 50% chance to freeze but give it a 8 sec cd prob solved

Most bosses have a degree of immunity to slow, Samuel confirmed this a few days ago. The most use I've seen for it so far is group killing to king rooms, so for example in orcs it's great on slashers

Tbh it should be a mass aoe and slow for 10seconds +

Seriously though another spell i never use along with powershot.

Personally I'd just make the archer very elemental based, i.e. Fireshot vs living and ice/water, spirit vs undead, ice vs fire monsters. A lot of fire mobs about.

The archer is used in warfare to slow the advance of a foe and ruin their formations, thinning numbers if at all possible.

I suggest dropping ice arrow altogether for a fan of knives style skill. cooldown 10 seconds, tstorm radius, same slow chance as curse but with damage of 70-100ish max.
Not a nuke but a helpful skill for pvp avoidance solo, pvp control in a group, mob control, boss control.
