Ok I admit that was campy, and I have a 16th lvl Ice Blaster not a 15th.

ya but I use freeze ray for the "immobilize" that Tongo says pawns. I use it to stop 1 out of every 3 of their flurries.
It works remarkable well 
did they change freeze ray from hold to immob?
i thought he was talking about /ice this whole time
Its a mag 3 Hold from the Ice/ set But it wouldn't matter anyway. Its [censored]. It used to be in the Ice epic I belive but they took it out.
Hey, if Tongo says it stops 1 in every 3 attacks then it does.
Well I just made an Archer Blaster, and the damage is impressive. Maybe I mispoke I meant incredibly impressive. I shoulda called my toon John Deer cause Im mowing thru Fallen Buckshots like a fat kid on a rusty pogo stick.
Still wont say Ice takes 2nd place to anything. After all being held/immobilized/whatever you call it is sure $. 1 out of 3 something will effect you and your attack rate is slowed or stopped altogether.
i used to like my psy blaster a lot. did he get nerfed?
Your ideas are thought-provoking. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
is now erasing his lvl 50 Ice/Em PvP blaster b/c of Tongo.

Ok this is outright strange.......if your immobilized at least 1 attk out of 3 YOU LOSE! How is my math wrong?! What faulty update took away the advantage of doing damage to opponents that cant fight back?!
Right now I have a lvl 15 Ice Blaster on Protector. (I know dont laugh with AE now sometimes I cant log onto Freedom). Anybody with any type of 15 lvl toon...
....step up and be served a cup of shut the h*** up! Who wants some?

because your immobs and holds in PvP mean absolutely nothing now. so my toons will make short work of you. this is not pre i13 PvP anymore.

to be fair, blaster holds and immobs were meaningless in i12 too. freeze ray hasn't been good since they removed the insane toggle dropping from blaster melee
I think the new Offensive toggle dropping system is garbage. There has to be a better way to do it. I was fine with the i12 system, But I know they won't bring that back.
TONGO might be the best ppPer in da game, but we haf to see him fight Iron Guard first.
Also you may have forgotten the fact that if you dueled another blaster and would manage to hold him, he can still attack you with his lower tier powers while held. Plus slows in i13+ pvp mean absolutely nothing now.

And the funnier part of that is, that the 2 tier 1 attacks you CAN use while held also deal the most DPS of your attack chain. So for blasters who are held, their attack chain does not slow down much.
Confuse is probably the only reliable mez to stop a blaster from hitting you.

I just wanted to post in a thread that involves discussion of ice blasters.
Ice blasters are so strong in PvP.

And pretty.
Just wanted to admit Im wrong. Im playing an Ar/Dev right now, and hes truly an engine of death. Didnt know the game crippled up the Ice Immob either. Thanks for the input y'all.
