As you already talking on ice shields I got a small question: Ice Shield = +Melee def, Glacial Shield = +AoE, Ranged def...meaning 2 of them (even with only those defence types mentioned) are equal +Def(All)...?! Even Psy ?!

[/ QUOTE ]Def(All) is defence against all damage types (Apart for toxic). Melee, ranged and AoE are position types. But yes, the ice shields will provide positional defence against all melee, ranged and AoE attacks, even psi.

A far as I always understood every attack got positional component (be it: Melee, Range,..) . So if we exclude ALL the attacks that have Melle, Range, AoE component...what is left ?
Toxic ? Every thorny assault attack (as toxic damage attack example) got Ranged, AoE component...doesn't it mean that they should be excluded also ?
Still looks like +DEF(ALL)...
I'm not sure regarding PBAoE thou, but always thought it just extends AoE

Indeed Snow Storm eats too much endurance, even 2-sloted with end. reduction I cann't keep it in fight (that lasts more then 10 seconds...) and in PvP u have the same effects from web nade (except auto hit of course).
Hasten and Heat Loss is your personal 'God mode' for 2 minutes...EBs drop like flies without Shivans (on villanius difficulty thou) . Used Shivan only once against the Lord Recluse... . I currently have hybrid PvE / PvP build (that tends more to PvP) and and gonna respec to 'selfish' PvP build after some LRSFs.

Currently lvl 47:
