So, the hammer is called The Ice Breaker... so it's supposed to break ice, right? Then what the hell is it doing with cold damage? Wouldn't fire damage be better for ice? Cold vs. ice... or Fire vs. ice...

Must be some... um... special ice.

Think of Ice Breaker more like you would the name Backbreaker, not that the hammer was originated to be something to make ice cubes.

Goats17 · Jun 22, 2006, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Think of the hammer as the "Breaker". Now, it's made of Ice, so "The Ice Breaker". Not that hard for me.

Or maybe it's for breaking the ice.. in a social way.

By introducing a big friggin' hammer on the foe's face.

Well, since it's an Ice Breaker, and it itself is made of ice... does it break itself?

lyra_song · Jun 22, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

It doesnt break ice....its made of ice and is a breaker o.o

Ghull Ka · Jun 22, 2006, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Agreed, it's made of ice and you use it to break things. Things like your enemies.

Not to mention if it was firey it would melt the ice and not break it :/

No, cause I guess it would be bashed before it has melted.

But if it's made from ice and it's a breaker, then Ice Breaker would be grammatically incorrect.... cause 'Backbreaker' breaks backs, it's not a breaker made for backs....

Um, that doesn't really make any sense. Did you maybe mean "breaker made from backs"? If so, I want that to be the next Green: a hammer made entirely from human backbones.

Zomg my necro would soooo wield one of those!

You know, the whole thing would be much simpler if English had declensions. Differentiate the accusative and the dative and it all becomes clear. Ice Breaker as in Breaker made of Ice would be different than Ice Breaker as in Breaker of Ice. Like the Latin...

If it's made of ice : glacierum ruptor.
If it breaks ice : glaciebus ruptor.
If it's made of ice and breaks other ice : glaciebus glacierum ruptor.
If it's made of ice and breaks other breakers : ruptoribus glacierum ruptor.
If it's made of breakers and breaks ice : glaciebus ruptorum ruptor.

Okay, so I got a little silly with those last few. But ah, what a beautiful language. Although English has its good points too.

Priest Of Sin · Jun 22, 2006, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Wait... if it's made of ice, does that mean I can't use it to kill Fire Island enemies? I mean, wouldn't it melt?

XD

Yeah, that I can understand that. :P Nice explanation though!

Change it to a pick and rename it The Ice Pick, just don't ask for it to have earth damage seeing picks are used for the earth. The ice breaker, cold damage.

Demesis · Jun 22, 2006, 11:02 PM // 23:02

Silly silly people, we all know it's used to crush ice cubes....

fiery · Jun 23, 2006, 12:36 AM // 00:36

What are ice cubes?

Lando Griffen · Jun 23, 2006, 01:01 AM // 01:01

When I want to break the ice, I just whip out my hammer...

Well, that's easy, an ice cube is a thingy that is used to cube ice. Just like an ice breaker is used to break ice...

ahem...

Oh there's another theory why the ice breaker deals cold damage: Maybe it was hot once and did deal fire damage. But it was used to break so much ice that the contact with the colder material cooled it down until it eventually was so cold that it dealt no longer fire damage but cold damage instead...
