Ice Control is hands down the worst

Yes it turned into a ice/ice brute thread! LOL I am still rooting for that port to redside!

Anywho I hate to say it but Ice Control is in many ways better than Grav but Grav to me feels safer. Maybe b/c Singy can tank like no ones business. Don't get me wrong I love Jack he does some crazy dmg and CAN tank but he has a glass jaw and...I would rather have Venus Fly Trap instead of him...and that's saying somethin' LOL.

Having both Shiver + AA is good because you can then floor their Speed and Recharge, even with the Purple Patch present.

Oh and try to get the purple Confusion proc in AA, fun times.

I don't recall any pve changes to the fury mechanic, but then again brutes aren't that interesting of a class to me so I could have missed it.

I have one but I just got to 38...shockwave seems dissapointing...I know this is post nerf but does it get better with shockwave? I was looking at the mids for numbers for shockwave...and it didn't look so hot.

Having not played my Ice/Ice in a while. Did they fix the proc? Being pawned by Jack Frost was funny as hell, but humilliating to be out dominatored by my pet dominator.

Psychic Shockwave is STILL one of the best AoEs Doms have.

In fact it's the best DPS PBAoE for Doms, and is only outclassed in DPS among all Dom AoEs by Fling Thorns.

Get to 39 so you can slot it up some.

Gravity Doms have been enjoying that particular pleasure for some time.

I guess it has been a while. Do you really eat an alpha from ice's sleep? I didn't think so but then I didn't keep it in my build for long and it was quite some time ago.

I don't think anyone said that. My reference to eating an alpha was in reference to throwing down Ice Slick without a convenient corner around. Ice Slick breaks Sleep.

DarkCurrent's reference to it was that you can't stack it because it does a small amount of damage, breaking the earlier Sleep effect.
