Comments
Varden is good, but freeze/frost synergy is not that good ATM. Without any synergy, he is just a worse Cairne right now.
Varden is an interesting combination of disruption and damage, but they don't appear strong in either category. The randomness of Flurry hurts the ability a lot, in my opinion, and you cannot guarantee that you'll disrupt the enemy that needs it. At least the number of targets increase as you level the ability. Cold Snap is pretty low-output for an AoE, especially one that requires a Deathblow to be most effective. And Ice Lance has to choose between disruption or damage; it doesn't get to do both simultaneously. It's the only targetable Freezing ability that exists, though, and the damage is high, so maybe I'm underestimating it.
All-in-all, I think Varden could go either way: great or terrible. If everything goes right Varden could be a real nuisance.
Flurry refers to other character as "them."
Ice Lance refers to other character as "it."
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
