Let's talk about 2.1 freeze

[Allyrion]

Freeze was buffed to 100 potency and cast time reduced to 3.0. Blizzard II has had its potency dropped from 100 to 20 (can't remember).

Now...do we have a use for freeze now since it does more damage? Is there a place for it in some kind of rotation of ours?

Let's brainstorm and see if this is a good or bad thing and why?

It will take the place of Blizzard II in our AoE rotation.
It is 0.5s longer than Blizzard II and does 100 damage like Blizzard II does on live.
It is ranged but has to be targeted (this should add little time time overall, once you're accustomed to manually targeted casts).

Blizzard II is also cross classed now, so Freeze will be unique to BLM.
The Bind effect is marginally beneficial.
