The balance of fire and ice
Full melee Ranger since August 2012
You are talking about the Balance between Fire and Ice? Really !!?
Because you put this kind of stuff into question, I’d rather take first a look onto the other two Elements first – Earth and Wind !!
Earth has absolutely no weapon skins i can think of , that represent this Element in this game so far….
Wind has also absolutely none weapon set or so, that properly represents this Element. The game has only stuff for Lightning (thats not Wind!) and most of the Lightning stuff exacrpt the one legendary Weapon Bolt looks terrible in the game, borign and ugly compared to the legendary weapon
Mystic Weapons/ Inquest weapons are besides of Bolt the only weapons that have some kind of lightning effect with blue/red effects…
These Elements are imo something that I’d love to see more first, as also Weapons with Light/Darkness Effects.
But i agree with you in general, fire Weapons got way too much love so far, we got it that Anet seems to love fire, but the other elements – all of them, not just only Ice , could get hopefully some love too finally.
Just forget the elements even, make more stuff lime heavy Phalanx armor and the likes, only acquirable in-game for once.
I want Ebon vanguard armor from gw1, kurzick/luxon types, etc. More armor/weapon merchants like the dungeon ones.
And yeah, I lovey cobalt and jormag’s breath so please more ice than fire, but maybe other “elements” too; smoke, lightning, natural stuff.

Winters weapons(Altough as unserious as you can get.. no wonder noone uses these)
Coldsnap…
Whoa what? Coldsnap is one of the nicest scepter skins in the game.

You’re the first, and most likely the last, to care about such things.

There’s actually at least one for earth, the Cragstone.
Or we could just drop those flames and ice pick and go for something that actually looks nice and doesn’t need effects to cover it up. (Or Caladbolg).
This is much more important than fixing year old bugs and making the game more rewarding and fun.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.

I’m sure you’re well aware of this, but the guys fixing bugs or developing content aren’t the same guys who design weapons and armor.
