I like him, too, mostly because he has some of the better quotes in the game, along with an awesome voice actor. His skills aren't all original (Lightning Strike is a ranged damage attack and Icy Prison is a ranged stun), but when they are creative, they're great. His fire skill is a great way of doing AOE attacks, and Stone Dance is an interesting way of adding defence without being a boring passive bonus. I don't see how he can be disliked rather than liked, though I know Razorleaf doesn't like him, either.
