• Suggested Upgrades: Enhancement - Enhancement - Accuracy

• If the player wants to do Fire damage instead of Ice, they can equip the BFG and cast Archangel's Wrath (requires revered lore & focus for maximum effectiveness).

• Gloves with elemental modifiers (can be dropped or bought) like conversion Physical to Fire/Magic/Poison can be used to change some of the damage of the BFG to one of these elements (ice is not needed since BFG is ice)

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Significant damage, very fast kill-speed
• As the weapon will spawn when this Combat Art is cast, there is no need to find other weapons with higher damage at higher levels.
• Very effective vs monsters with low ice resistance (ex: dragons)
• If Buff level is high enough, it is possible for the BeeEffGee weapon level to far exceed the maximum level weapon equipable for a given character level. For example, the maximum normal weapon level that can be equipped by a level 100 character is level 127, whereas there is no limit to the level BFG weapon that can be equipped.

Cons

• Two-handed weapon, hence no shield allowed.
• Relatively high regeneration penalty.
• No sockets
• Ice resistant enemies like the White Griffin can be difficult to damage.
