I want to note out that I play a lot of verglas, so any thoughts in this thread are completely earnest and a genuine criticism of certain skills.
Verglas is terribly strong at the current moment but I don't think its egregiously overpowered, but rather two of its skills seem to be a little nutty in terms of damage, causing quite a bit of strife when spammed, those two being Enhanced Rapid Kick and Crawling Spikes.
Crawling spikes being able to achieve triple damage is undeniably unhealthy, considering you can set up 2 ice points a turn on ice and still have 4m left over to take an action with. I would very much like to see this capped at 100% Extra damage instead of 200%.
Rapid Kick is a whole 'nother story, and I'll point out the major flaw in Rapid Kick here:
It scales so hard from ice atk and bonus kick damage, namely the bonus kick damage is the issue here, given a verglas can have access to a powerful shoe slot item that boosts its damage by quite literally 90 - 105:
Normally these alone don't prove to be a huge problem, but enhanced rapid kick's damage could deserve to be culled a little bit, but more famously we have this:
This could boost each kick's damage potentially by up to 40-45 per kick at high enough SAN thresholds, this leads to roughly 240-270 extra damage, which gets a little bit nutty.
I think Enhanced Rapid Kick's ice ATK scaling is fine, but the kick damage scaling could be 50% instead of 100%, making it scale in the same way ice point greaves would.
