- Compared with Vanilla D2, skill has been reworked as follows: now releases numerous (~5) ice bolts. Each ice bolt counts as a ranged attack and consequently applies weapon damage and associated modifiers and effects (e.g. elemental damage, deadly strike, crushing blow, and chance to cast on striking, but only the initial attack triggers melee splash). The ice bolts are generated whether the melee attack hits or not, but each ice bolt again rolls an AR check, to decide if it hits. The damage is first reduced then converted (E.g. 200 phys dmg become 60cold and 40phys dmg). (Bedrock #1-hidden)
- Increased physical to cold damage conversion from 60% to 80%. (Zincite #19)
