Unlike the Exotic this comes from, Spirit of Hoarfrost does not create a Rally Barricade buff on your position. Whether this is important is up to you (I find this a critical downside for Crucible). On the flip side, you don't need a Stasis Super equipped to get Spirit of the Hoarfrost's effect. The Slow pulse is perhaps around 5-7 meters wide, not very wide but not short. Enemies inside the crystals when they form will be frozen outright.

Will not work on Thruster at all, sorry. Your cooldown is always replaced with the Tower Barricade cooldown, but which Barricade type you pick will not influence the crystal design. This does work with Drengr's Lash.

Despite not having Tectonic Harvest, Prismatic Titan can pair this with Facet of Hope for an absurdly fast recharge speed. Pairs alright with Facet of Command, given frozen enemies make shards. Facet of Ruin greatly enjoys more crystals to boost the damage of.

All in all, it's bad. Abeyant Leap is in the same slot of Stoicism and it dominates this effect in comparison. It doesn't protect you because the frontmost crystal is too short. Its Slow effect is closer and wider than the Drengr's Lash, but that isn't necessarily a positive. The main benefit is that it's crowd control without using the Drengr's Lash aspect, but you're just better off running that Aspect for a class ability build. The freeze is situational and hard to achieve. It's not worthless as a faster Glacier grenade with a Slow pulse is definitely helpful, but it will get you killed even when paired with Spirit of Alpha Lupi.
