What did they change about Illusory Boots?
Being able to run through enemies unhindered was the old effect iirc, and while neat, I certainly wouldn't put it over complete immunity to jailer/frozen. Ice Climbers probably aren't as important if you play a kiting build/class anyways, since if you have to kite a lot it means that the dmg from Frozen itself, along with other things, can probably kill you pretty quickly if you aren't on your toes. I wouldn't mind giving Illusory boots a try sometime - they just seem much more 'situational' in comparison.
For melee/channeling builds, there is little doubt that Climbers are BIS. It allows you to ignore jailer/frozen pretty much entirely and as a result, we dont lose any edps. This is of course one of the main advantages a channeling build has over a kiting one, and Climbers only bolsters that advantage since otherwise we would have to run from freeze bombs (thus losing edps) or be jailed while standing on plague, molten or arcane beams. With the Climbers, we can just stand there and continue to channel, and only have to move when absolutely necessary.
