The problem about 'variation' is that it's rarely used in Range or Melee either. Melee is like a whip for normal damage and then #GS/SS/DDS/DC for specs (mains) Range is like .. a rune cbow with broad bolts for training, dragon or diamond (e) bolts for PKing and a dbow for specs. Sure they have more options but what ones of those are actually used? As for freezing, the few times I have used Ice burst, I have frozen about 70-80% of the FIRST shots I used. Now i dont know about the mechanics but its pointless to spam any ice spell as they dont work properly. And the numerous times I have been ice bursted/barraged even in dhide, I have been frozen, alot of times. Probably about 8/10 times. And note my defence and magic arent frowned upon.
