It probably is affected, I should test it out though.

Vipermagi, this skill is placed quite a bit of units ahead of your character, I personally used this aspect of the gem to attack mobs around corners, so while it may not affect the range of the AoE, it may affect the position of where the AoE is placed.

There's no difference in radius nor the point of impact of the animation whether you use a 2H axe or your fists. It works like Reave in that regard, which is what makes it so convenient for FB builds.

Currently Leveling with this skill using Face breakers and loving it. Still need to Divine my FB's for a higher damage percent, but managed to get a Meginord's to drop, which increased my damage like crazy, currently I am at about 2.5k dps with Herald of ash and hatred with a 4l Ice crash at level 42. Also should mention, I am doing full elemental ice crash on a shadow.

does ice crash roll crit/hit values separately for each stage, since each stage isnt the same?

this skill is great. huge aoe. good damage. don't have to use multistrike which locks you in place too long. nice that it works with unarmed attacks too. my only real gripe is that it sometimes gets me killed by flamebearers and other ground effects because it obscures those threats.

summary:

+ works with unarmed attacks
+ huge aoe
+ great damage
+ not multistrike reliant
+ half phys/half cold
+ works with all weapons

- hard to see critical ground effects like frost bearer mines and stacked stormcalls
- graphically intense. might slow down some computers
- requires level 28

i will give it a 4 out of 5 rating. excellent skill. perhaps the best melee skill.

There is no bigger difference between 19 LVL Ice Crash and 21 LVL. When you will fix this ?

love this skill for softcore, wont use it for hardcore. it gets me killed occasionally when i miss some deadly ground effects due to ice crashes own graphical effect is so big with increased aoe stuff.

ice crash could really use something like the arctic ice nova alternate skill effect. something that doesnt permanently cover the ground with good attack speed. enhance the edges of the effect but let us see through it in the middle where we stand in dangerous ground effects.

Huge AOE and good damage. Super clunky skill to use. The reduced attack speed makes animations take so long that your character is helpless against quick one shit mechanics.

If ice crash is melee aoe spell - just wondering what's best on a weapon - spell dmg - phys damage or both?'
