That's true. Ice Blast only comes into on the first round of casting in a solo situation. I can usually spam Magic Missle (LVL1), Firebolt (LVL8), and Magic Blast (LVL1) to kill something before the cooldown is even over on this spell. It's pretty but you only get one time chance to use it if your a decent mage. If you have time to use it again on yellow/orange-tagged enemies, you might need to redistribute some attribute/skill points, unless you wlecome death.
It's nice to have in groups as well because it is almost always guaranteed to slow down the enemy it targets, unlike Icebolt (I think it works 75% of the time). When you get Frost Nova at lvl 60, you can move this spell to the archive list.
