User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Merry Christmas/Ice Element!/@comment-5020152-20131223005029

1) My favorite Ice monster? Glacial Agnaktor. Hands down, this Leviathan is probably the coolest (heh heh) of them all. I've said this before during Aggy's MAW, but I really love the design - a huge, icy salamander-like monster with outstanding colors, an ice-shredding beak, and super-powerful water blasts. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

2) My favorite Ice weapons are the Blango Decimator and Hi Frost Edge from Unite - I used them so much, and they really began to grow on me after using them again and again. From MH3U, I really like the Cryo Cross and the Ice Crusher.

3) Iceblight, like all blights, is wonderful. I'm sure everyone knows how frostrating (heh) it is to catch your breath in the cold, when the frigid air stings your lungs and wears you out. So I guess we all get Iceblight in real life during the wintertime? Who knows. Anyway, Iceblight is definitely a welcome addition to the element itself.

4) I'd like to see more unique ways in which the element could be used, instead of having monsters breathe ice like Barioth or toss boulders like Blangonga - maybe a monster whose roar summons an avalanche! Also, more varieties of Iceblight would be nice - a form that freezes you from the inside and drains away your health whilst having you unable to move, maybe?

Merry Christmas, everyone! Don't forget to chill out and stay frosty over the holidays! (OK, I'm done with the puns.)
