Ice Blader?

[DeadlyItachi]

I was wondering if a pure str ice blader would be good at pvp? I heard that it's good in pve because of the delay in attacks when your fighting a mob. But could it still be a good pvp build?

Well there's one reason why I don't like ice bladers, which is Ice messes up your knockdown as in it will not let you do stab moves. If you're concerned about pvp a good amount of people at cap are immune to ice anyways but that may or may not change. If you ask me you're best off using fire as your imbue since fire also has critical buffs that you need. Ice doesn't really offer that much for a pure str since snow shield is actually more hurtful than helpful if you level it up passed 1st book (or for that matter passed lvl 1 first book) and the extra phy def isn't really necessary, although for our current cap it isn't a bad idea to get ice for the phy def. However, you will have to choose whether or not to delvl ice for future caps if you do get it.
