Nah, it's a pretty good set. I think people just don't like how the armors hide your costume.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Indeed. And not just that, but the ice graphics it hides your costume with are ugly.

Yeah, the only revamp ice armor needs is a graphical one.

Did they ever get around to making the sound effects on the toggles fade out? I know that didn't get done for a loooooong time after all the other defensive sets had it.

If they copied the Ice Armor effect of CoH's first competitor...I'd love Ice Armor |

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

I just haven't seen any Ice tanks on my server in 2 years. That's probably why. Yeah, A graphic update is still just as good. Only set I've seen get something new in it's animations and what not was Regen.

i have an ice tank among my 50s, i actually do enjoy ice armor a lot, i just really hate the tanks low dmg, if ice armor went to brutes i would almost consider rerolling especially if brutes got icy bastion instead of hibertank

No. One of the reasons I've never picked it up. Looks ugly and, worst of all, SOUNDS ugly. I think the only powers left that don't fade out are Devices Cloaking Field (whmwhmwhmwhmwhmwhmwhm.....) and various Ice related power. Which is annoying

All Ice needs is some graphical tweaks, maybe some additional power effect options like Stone has to give a bit of variety.|

Power-wise, it's pretty damn good these days, ever since Circeus - with vocal support from the cadre of we few Ice Tank fanatics - helped convince the devs that it was under-performing quite dramatically compared to (then) Stone, Invuln & Fire. Since the Chilling Embrace changes, the Slow RES changes and the moderate DDR changes it's a pretty solid set. It's come a hell of a long way from being able to slot RES enhancements in the armours.
Though I wouldn't say no to a cold component to Icicles' damage.
