Not just that but Amplifiers are also ice which makes sense but it does amplify the problem. In the end there ends up being around 30 (don't have exact numbers since not at game) worth of ice you'd like to set for nuking but are only able to set 11s worth

While I do understand part of the design of higher tiers is to use them instead and you can't max out specific things melee/ranged builds don't have quite this problem because they can spread things out between the elements a lot more. Ice needs some love!
