With the Permafroster being the one and only shadow variant of the pulsar line, and with Glacious being the only one of the three elemental brandishes that can't ignite or shock oilers or quicksilvers on the way to Red Roar, you would think they would be somewhat popular items. And to an extent, they are, at least among people out of the know. But, the rest of us know they have a problem with their status application and knockback; half the enemies get frozen in place, half of them fly across the room. All around a pain.
