My 2 cents: (Extreamly reduced ranting, with suggestions that stick to the theme and require little change, and key points for quick reading.)
--->key point--->Don't nerf CE, getting hit less is good, -recharge is awsome Hands off!
Uselessfrost could have 200 percent resist to ice (Yes that does equal healing) and it would still be worhtless. Permafrost doesn't stick to the theme, perma!! getting melted isn't perma, 100% fire resistance now that's perma. course make 99% to fire and ice, and some enhanceable amount of something usefull like S/L heck even one or the other, then we'll start to consider it. ---->key point------>This is the one power that seporates us from the squishys, Make it act that way!
EA ; take the energy out off everyone around you, so they can't act as fast. --->key point--->EA should act like a backwards sypon power but with the hasten and slow affects of syphon speed. That'll stick to the Ice=slowing down theme, and give you the debuff you wanted to put in CE.
Hibernate: Where do we begin with the brokenness. (deap calming breath) worst off It doesn't even stick to the theme. If you're hibernating you are in a deap sleep, you slow down your heart, use less energy. What is the actual power consumption of this, well a poorly slotted stamina won't keep up with it (especially with CE running).
OK, more themelessness, i'm covered in Frost Armor, wet ice and glacial armor, And now it's time to completely encase myself in ice and take a nap, oh wait better remove the ice from myself, stand around for a sec, then encase myself in ice? What? Can't stack ice ontop of ice makes no sense, let alone getting us killed.
*necessary ranting* I need to make a bind to coming out of hibernate so i can shout 'Look at me i'm a squishy!!' We should be grouchy when awakening from a long sleep, turning off hibernate should amount to rampage time. Not, hope i can get my toggles on befor i die, and have enuf health left to survive long enuf to gamble on using hibernate again.
Hibernate isn't really phased, the ice is there, CE and icicles are passive agressive. I agree that you shouldn't be able to do anything while asleep, but it's not our fault if everyone is cold and stabbing themselves.
*Necessary ranting* Grannite armor isn't too heavy to tp, why is a big block of ice.
---->key point---->Hibernate should have next to no endo cost, and not drop any toggles. Alowing CE/icicles to affect others may be just enuf overcompensation to alieve the nerfing being done to our class. make ice the new fire tank! (gets down off soapbox)
