Six Thrust is already 18 speed. Add in 10 from a Speed Pill and you're 12 from max. You can get another 10 from your Crossbow since every other stat that comes from those is useless. I'd rather Blizzard do the extra damage every time I attack than move a little faster. If you want the extra speed, go for it. I won't stop you. But the main reason everyone caps Blizzard at 21 for the 3 second freeze is because the extra 9 skill points spent to max it give the exact same damage increase one skill point does in Big Bang.
What other ways are they? And Speed Pills have the unfortunate feature of using up Use slots, which could be a problem. Dark Nescheres, Dragon Shiner Crosses and Reverse Black Beauties are far more expensive than Golden or White Nescheres, so there's that, too.
Anyways, I'm just saying there's the option. Either way you aren't losing too much.
