doom for kickers?

Well, let's look at the mods:
5% Chance To Cast Level 18 Volcano On Striking
Meh, nothing special...
Level 12 Holy Freeze Aura When Equipped
Neat, but not vital...
+2 To All Skills
Cool, can't complain here. But, other weapons can give better skills than this (Bartucs easily beats it).
+45% Increased Attack Speed
Nice if you use Fade. With Burst of Speed, this mod is wasted.
+330-370% Enhanced Damage (varies)
Makes no difference for a kicker.
-(40-60)% To Enemy Cold Resistance (varies)
The only cold damage you are inflicting is what the Holy Freeze aura adds. At level 12, and with the PvP penalty and resistances, it's not worth mentioning.
20% Deadly Strike
Deadly Strike doesn't tranfer to kicks.
25% Chance of Open Wounds
An UM in any weapon can do this, but it helps.
Prevent Monster Heal
Hmm...Players aren't monsters...
Freezes Target +3
RavenFrost = pwned
Requirements -20%
Meh...
So, all in all, there is 1, maybe 2 good mods on Doom for a kicker. That's the way I see it anyway.

I tested a doom on my kicker and i found it was only useful if you combine with wake of fire traps and a strong mind blast, doom is pretty much a tank/stun weapon and only works vs melee chars that come to you. thats just my experience with it though.
I agree with everything but this.
Current Skill Level: 18
Damage: 192-198
Fire Damage: 66-68
With stone armor on.
Thats not much but the mat of fire area is worth it. If nothing else it covers the area around teleporters, makes them work harder to stay out of harms way, intrupting teleports and all. Now if you could put that in a claw it may be worthwhile. Its too bad ctc doesn't work with Whirlwind.

Most people consider it bad manners for PvP. For PvM you can get a merc with Holy Freeze (Doom or NM Defense).
I know at least one dueler who uses it in melee duels where the opponent's speed is a major factor (zealots, smiters, shifters, etc.). The Holy Freeze aura is the only reason he considers it. The other mods aren't bad, but you can get them elsewhere (except for the cold resists; which can be used as a nice surprise if you really load up on the cold damage).
