I just thought about some of the skill icons...

Like Winter.

I might be blind..but isn't it a picture of some Lightning Bolt on a green background?

And this has what to do with Winter or making things cold dmg?

Any other noteable skill icons?

I would venture a guess that it is Zeus.

If you look the icon in the skill window, you notice that green thing is some kind of thick poison gas cloud or something and turquoise part has three skulls.

Anyone seen the CHILBLAINS and RIGOR MORTIS skill.

Looks similar except one eye glows on the left and the other on the right.

Kinda funny, makes u wonder the designers run out of ideas.

Same can be said for Well of Blood and Well of Suffering.
One faces left, the other faces right.
If I'm not mistaken, Well of Blood is the one facing right.

That kinda makes sense for the wells, though, since they have basically opposite effects.

This kid is evil.

Personally, I never figured out how can you cause concussion by driving an arrow through a person's throat.

The skill used to be called 'Tongue Biter' and caused a condition called 'silence' which i guess was changed to 'dazed'.

I think the dude in 'Aegis' is the ghostly hero or something.

The icon for Point-Blank Shot is just funny... if you look at the guy with that arrow incoming you know its shouting... "Holy... shit!" or "Nooooooooo"!
