well, i've been doing a lot of research and trying to figure this out. i have played both ice and balance, and really, i don't know what one i want to play more!
ice has greater health and tower shield along with multi stun and single stun, higher rank buffs then balance ect...
balance has similar health, many universal buffs and traps and all school shields. however, the buffs they have can be used by everyone else in 2v2 or more making it hard to get full damage off.
ice attack is lower then balance AND has a lower hit rate. pets can always give accuracy so that's no problem.
can anyone help me out here? i just can't decide! :(

I don't do PvP at all, but for game play, I much prefer Ice over Balance. Maybe I just don't get the nuances of Balance, but I've never taken a Balance wizard all the far. My Ice wizard is approaching level 64 and I love her. :)
well, i'm ice, and for me, grizzleheim and wintertusk was a nightmare. every other boss was ice, so i spent a lot of time using prisms. on the other hand, krokotopia was really hard for my balance wizard. in the end, i'd say ice, cause you get more health, shields, and balance doesn't have a prism.
Well, you have 6 available seats, so you can make 6 different wizards. Now, if the other schools are taking up the other 5 seats, and you must choose between Balance or Ice for the last and final seat, I say flip a coin.
Both schools are awesome and a lot of fun to play.

I am having the same debate, I decided to move forward with the Ice finally.
I had a hard time with Balance until I hit level 60+, then it was more fun to play, because I was able to finally get a good damage boost, which really helps Hydra, Ra, and Chimera, with their attacks.
So far, I'm having more fun with my Ice. Now, this could be because I've already experienced all the worlds and knew what to expect, and use better strategy. I seem to have an easier time defeating the 'enemy'.
I also have Myth, Death, Fire, and Storm wizards, but so far, Ice seems to win .....

I agree with you about Balance. Getting Shadowsong (my sorcerer) to level 60 was a nightmare, but it got easier after that. I've since figured out how to maximize her abilities and have fun doing it. ;)
The only wizard missing from this account is Ice- Tara Winterbloom (level 15) and Brynn Silversword (level 6) are on alternate accounts and, while I've had fun with them, it doesn't compare to how much I've come to appreciate what Balance wizards go through, to finally catch up to the strength of their elemental/spiritual counterparts.
If you're patient, go for Balance. Otherwise, you may want to stick with Ice.
Balance is my fav. You get spells that do damage from all classes and your own. Its fun and give a variety I don't feel many other classes do. But just my two cents :)
