Evie: Ice Blow Tips

I thought this was kinda cool to show your Ice Blow and perhaps it might help with placement.

Ice Blow is not only fun but can hit up to 8 times.

I know a lot of Evies don't use it in their rotation for various reasons but one of those reasons is because they don't feel like they can achieve most of the hits.

For Ice Blow, it is the shards of ice that do the damage.  The range of the blow is far and its arc is wide.  Build your ice arch so that the shards are released toward the enemy (rather than on top of or inside of him)to obtain 6-8 hits.  When the shards break, your damage will be applied.  These shards can also travel far so you have some breathing room, hop back if you need to before executing. You can notice its distance and long reach if you're ever using the move during a Duel.

Important note, the shards apply damage, whether or not the boss is frozen from the action.

8 Wondermous Hits!

This is based on my experience.  Most of you know, I'm not a damage junkie and I could generally care less about the numbers but I feel this skill is underused and I wanted to show the placement, path and animation.

Feel free to offer different insight.
I leave you with a cool side view screenshot. :cool:

Follow up notes: 

• The range on Ice Blow is ridiculous, the guidance provided was to give the maximum potential for impact.
• When the Ice breaks, shards fly both forward and backward so if you are in the middle of being attacked, your Ice Blow will hit and damage will be applied, just not the full amount.
• You can hear the impact of the ice freezing  as well as when it breaks. 
• Don't forget to get your Freeze Bonus.
• Ice Blow is AWESOME in PVP.
• A good boss to practice your Blow on is Shakarr or the Emperor in Holy Ground.

Build Your Evie 3.0 (2014 Version)

You've got an Evie. You've reached level 60-80 - now what?

TrixiEEEE - Critty Evie

You may prefer a Scythe, or a Staff or even be a great hybrid but at your core you are an Evie. So how do you make her the best possible Evie for your play style? How do you maximize her potential? How do you make those LLR's and Pew Pew's count for you?

Having an actual build - creating your character purposefully - will go a long way to help support your play style overall. So take some time out and mold your Evie to be more than just the cute magic chick.

After several additions to gear, accessories and scrolls along with the update to the Vindictus Armory old builds that were shared are no longer viable.  We've taken Evie to new heights since the last  post and it is the perfect time for a new one.

On the forums I encouraged Evies - new and old - to share their builds and goals for their Evies here. I hope you find list to be a great starting point for generating ideas for your Evie.

There are lot of mainstream ideas about what Evie is. While Evie IS the supportive character by nature she has evolved as the game has.
UPDATE: Check out the updated article.

2010 - Vindictus Welcomes Evie

Evie was introduced to Vindictus on October 27, 2010 as the 3rd character in our epic saga.

She was birthed to the North American servers during the Season of Witch Update 1.08.

A few weeks later she was joined by her alter ego, a blade wielding Scythe Evie, on November 2, 2010.

Scythe Evie would soon become the staple for mages in the game but Staff Evie was the original.
