pyromancy has awesome support spells in soul flame and cauterize which by themselves outclass all ice spells (when you play like me anyway ;p). however, to my great delight there is one thing that an Ice Mage actually does better than at least my two Fire Missile Pyromancers: Ice Floe! a lvl 50 Pyromancer will barely do 50 damage (at 8 range) with Fire Missile whereas even a lvl 40 Ice Mage (equipped with the +25 ice sword) will do considerably more damage than that (at range 12). with the mana regeneration available to the Barbarians and the lack of any spellcasters, an Ice Mage can provide welcome support, safely behind a horde of melee and ranged attackers. with a few points in running, he can quickly get back to join the next horde. good fun :)
