I don't mind pure buff suggestions in a lot of things, but we shouldn't be buffing top-performing sets in their area of top performance.  If someone wants to give Sonic or Electric Blast a better DPA ST attack, that's not crazy.  If someone looks at Ice Blast and says, "What this set needs is a buff to its ST damage performance," I mean, come on dude.

 

We should not:

 

a.  Make it easier for people to build defense.

b.  Make it easier for people to build global recharge.

c.  Buff Fire Blast or War Mace at all.

d.  Buff ST performance on Ice Blast or Energy Melee (or honestly significantly buff them at all).
e.  Improve Claws' Spin.

d.  etc. (this is a very non-exhaustive list)

 

We should strongly consider:

 

a.  Major buffs to Electric Blast and, at least on Blasters, Sonic Blast, and quite possibly AR (I don't know much about it)

b.  Improving Sentinels overall, and maybe Controllers too.

c.  Making psi damage less feast-or-famine

d.  etc. (this is a very non-exhaustive list)

 

Basically work against the meta.  Bring low-performing sets up to par, not just boost top-end power.

This pretty much 100%

I say just lower the animation. This power is painful slow

Only if it can be made a hair shorter like Total Focus was. It still needs to be more than 2 seconds since Ice is already teetering on the edge of overpowered.
