A hard-won crafting victory

I finally crafted my Wizard101 fire/ice hat!  It's a perfect match for the fire amulet on my ice wizard.  It took a great deal of pain and suffering to create but I finally finally bought, collected, transmuted and card crafted my way to the hat of hats!

I have equal critical now for both ice and fire and also equal accuracy plus.  The main downside being that I have to give up 12% shields!!!! The other downside being that my ice has horrible accuracy in actual battle.  His accuracy stats are acceptable but he fizzles quite often.  I was questing with a storm and death the other day and was embarrassed because they were continually hitting without a single fizzle.  I had 3 fizzles in a row followed by two more in the instance.  In the end I didn't kill a single thing.  (sigh)   Maybe I'll have more luck with fire.  I may end up snipering most of my spells and carry hits in my treasure cards and lots of triblades XD

I'll do some testing and let you know how it is!
Anyone find any good combos for second schools?  I'd particularly like to hear if anyone has done death/balance and how it works in pvp.
See you in PVP soon.
