User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Merry Christmas/Ice Element!/@comment-5178018-20131229043230

If players actually froze... I'm just gonna say it, that would lead to some real bs moments. What ice blight does already is shorten the limit of movement, completely stopping it would be pushing it way too far. Besides, we already have snowman effect for that.

Though I like Ryu Takashii's idea of ice element being able to freeze monsters. Though maybe not freezing, as we already have paralyisis which I'd like to continue being useful alone, but utilizing the same effect on hunters, given the monster's ice res. I'm really trying to say drain the stamina. Or perhaps even temporarily slow the monster down. Ice element really does have many latent uses.
