I have been holding out for a while for Ice Melee (and Ice Armor, I guess) to be proliferated. Not just to Brutes, but to Scrappers and Stalkers as well. Ice has always been my favorite type, and I already have toons planned out for when they proliferate it (that's right: "when," not "if").
Generating Fury's not a problem anymore, so the only real reason to keep it back would be the Uniqueness, like Poison, Ninjitsu, or Illusion. But, see, Ice isn't exactly a unique powerset in itself; look at all the other ATs that have some form of Ice power. The only ones missing a cold powerset are the EATs (of course), 3/4 melees (the topic), and MMs (whom I also hope to see Cold Dom ported to--and they do have the cold minions in Demons).
In other words, count me in as one more person in support of Ice for brutes (et al.)!
