So for
a) You mean the immune that EVERY priest or priest secondary has...ok
b) pretty much any class' main attacks do reasonable damage in pvp if they have a weapon for dps and the patk/matk to back it up, it isnt like people are throwing pillows at eachother. At least it doesn't hit people for 2-3x their hp like many other skills
c) Seeing as this is a caster class and not melee, all of our skills are ranged. The exceptions would be AoEs in most cases for casters, but p/s doesnt have any of those
d) I'd be ok with making it less spammable if there were some other skills we could use to attack people with while it was on cooldown. So how about that compromise, add some more skills that do "reasonable damage" for me to cycle through so i don't have to use IB as the only viable option.
Based on that list, the only difference between p/s and say m/p is that m/p has other stuff it can do if one skill is on cooldown, has use AoEs (anyone else notice how useful thunderstorm is btw), can stun, silence, and root, while a p/s does not (so it uses the one skill it does have).
It's basically like saying, hey let's have this mage only use fireball with it's cooldown, and it cant do anything else offensively that's worthwhile until fireball gets off cooldown. That's what a p/s will be trying to attack people in siege if many people in this thread get their way.

If anything, ice blade needs to be boosted, so it is useful in pve. You know pve, as in the majority of this game.
This game is player vs environment, pve. It is dumb that the siege pvpers, scratch that: pay to winners, whine about getting their butts handed to them, and so the pve(the majority of this game) gets the nerf.

Iceblade is as powerful as most DPS skills imo. It just because P/S doesn't have DPS buffs like the rest of the classes do during burn fights, and is not affected by any sort of casting pots/speed pots because the skill has those taken care of already..

Having quested to 72 on a p/k, the reasoning for needing iceblade to quest is just retarded. I survived just fine without it on p/k. That skill doesn't belong in the game, it unbalances most everything. I can't count high enough to count the number of stupid p/s that think they can dps in instances. Most p/s healers on Govinda won't heal in run anymore simply because they think "Ive got iceblade I can dps". Iceblade has done nothing but takes priests from being a healer class to being a useless class.
Flame me all you want, say whatever you want about me. I don't care. I've been here since the 2nd day of beta, seen the numerous changes that have broken the game. Iceblade is doing nothing but creating crappy toons that can't heal or dps.

This is what I read here: "Some morons dont know how to play, so nerf the skill they spam instead of healing!'
Then you wouldnt know that Iceblade, since chapter 1, has not changed at all. Only reason people QQ is because we have the option of choosing a 3rd class, and the m/p's or p/m's or p/k's who used to stay as those classes as their names, are now able to play p/s. Just because there are *more* of a class, doesn't mean the skill itself needs to be nerfed.
Instead, you should make a QQ thread about noobs who need to l2play.

So you readily admit you can't read. Good, happy we got that out of the way.

Yes I do know it has been here since the beginning, that still doesn't change the fact that it's causing the p/s to become a broken class.

There is no reason that skill should be in game, I've said it from the beginning. It's a disgusting sign of player mentality when the majority of the "I don't know who to play any class, so I'll roll rogue/something or priest/scout so I can mash 1 button" players. 98% of all rogues and p/s are to lazy to play so they take the easiest class combo there is to make themselves feel epic. The only thing epic about it is their fail.

I've got my opinions, you have yours. I'm just sorry yours are wrong.
