I'm a Beastlord, and I would love this cloak. My class can take advantage of every stat and effect on this item save the Int. Beasties get only cold DDs so the damage improver is a perfect fit. The dodge modifier is a very welcome deffensive boost. Being a leather class, the AC looks pretty darn good to me, and the other stats are to par with the standard elemental armour. My guild does him occasionally, and i've already picked up my sleeves from this nasty chicken, so I'm holding out for this back item. This is a very fine piece. I've heard its one of the best cloaks in the EPs. Please keep in mind hps and mana are king at this level. I look foward to having one some day. =)

Woot got this last night! seems only a few months since I've posted that I did'nt think I'd ever see the elemental planes......whelp I'm there and having a blast! To Taygarr, I was in PoF / PoA / PoW at 62 and doing a valid job, granted I may have been getting a higher % of resists but I was learning along the way, with this cloak I now break 5k hp raid buffed ~ gimmi more hp Items /drool
I just got this today on my druid and I am very happy. We never pull this bird, but we just got a new bard in the guild, and she said pulling this bird is cake. She singled it like it was nothing, and it dropped my new back item, yay
ehh i speaking as a 65 wizard i dont think id ever put in in that ( besides the fact that i have a cloak of the frozen flame) i almost never use ancient destruction of ice , now if it was a fire or magic 30% id say yeah take it if you dont have an ft4 cloak
A druids best spell winter's frost is 1550 , with cloak would be a frosty 2015. Fury on that would make a nice 4030. Definatly would see a few double takes on that crit.

What makes this a "wizard item?" The best wizard cold-based DD does 1200 dmg, does it not? The best shaman cold-based DD does 925 dmg. The best druid cold-based DD does 1550 dmg. Seems like some other classes may argue about this being a "wizard item" especially when wizards do far, far more damage with magic and fire-based DDs.

This is an improved damage focus effect. Improved damage doesn't stack with itself. Therefore, no, this will not stack with improved damage I, II, III, or IV.

Alright, before anyone starts going off on what class/race or anything this best for, i just want to say, This is good every class, AC is a little low for such a high end item, but the stat mods are sweet.
the rediculousley low ac on this almost guarantees a caster of some sort will get this...then you factor in the focus (not that everyone cares) and you have a decent druid/wiz/shaman cloak.
