Sorry, I wrote that above post at 4am, sounded a bit cranky, I apologise. :oops:
I admit I didn't really think about monsters that aren't affected by freeze, however, as a hybrid i/l mage (which I am and honestly is suggested) I'm left over with one excess point at the end of 2nd job, which I was planning to put in slow anyway.
Also, there's always the possibility to teleport away from the enemy once they get close (something mages still use so alishar won't crush them under her fat @$$3$ )
FYI for anyone not understanding the PKB thing, it's a crossbowman skill called Power Knock-Back, giving them a harder shove than usual.
