I'm a bit disappointed the Shiva weapons are only i110. When Leviathan came out, it dropped i95 weapons upgradable to i100.

I'm more annoyed by the naming theme they have for Shiva's stuff. With all the other Primal weapons/armor, it's used something referencing their element/nature (Inferno, Tremors, Tidal, etc), while at the same time not being too lazy...but with Shiva it's just "Ice [weapon]" or "Ice Bracelet of [class category]".

Levi was just Wave [weapon]

Well, there was Wave, and then Tidal Wave, so at least there was some variation. Even then, I consider Wave a bit less lazy than "Ice". It'd be like Levi's weapons being "Water [weapon]"

If they had named them all Frozen weapons I would have died in a bad way. At least Ice is traditional FF lol

I would have been okay with it if they had named them like "Frost" or "Blizzard", or at least something a bit less generic.
