2 of the hardest classes to play effectively, and are 'okay' at best. both of them are easily killed, both of them require jumping and dodging especially faes, both of them have mediocre overall dps. both of them have bad class gems. my shadow hunter 8k kills as fast as my 12k fae + ego blast on basics, and has better survivability too. ice sages are just bad in shadow towers.
oh and the two classes people underestimate: knight with class gem is very good, i've tried him and everything is in easy mode with the stunlock and godlike survivability (not in ST's). draco with class gem has massive damage potential on ST's.
every class is good at something, some are even good at everything, but ice sages and fae's are 2 of the classes which are so hard to play effectively and are not as rewarding as the others. Don't get me wrong, they're still good, but others are better by alot. ice sage should be a heavy cc class with good aoes, instead they have a cc ult that is useless or harmful half of the time, and a weird class gem aoe i don't fully undestand. Faes should be king of sustained single target, but instead NN, SH, PC, Chloro, Boomer out-single-target -dps faes even with the passive
