Usage Strategies
Gather as large a mob as you can, then cast Icy Evanesence while they're all beating on you. If this is done well, each monster will be damaged by several of the damage points/ice spike, thus giving much increased damage, chance to freeze/slow, etc.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Useful against very large mobs that aren't moving (ie, they're in melee range of you)
- Ice resist reduction could be useful when paired up with an ice High Elf
Cons
- Very low damage
- Very low damage increase per level
- 15 second cooldown (not modified by Concentration, Source Warden Focus or Stamina) in addition to the regen
