Affixes/Frost Damage

Frost Damage is a prefix that turns up on Main Hand, Off Hand and Ring. It gives Frost Damage: +3% to +4% at its lowest step, +62% to +84% at its best — and you need item level 116 before the best one can appear at all.

It comes up at weight 6 when the game rolls affixes, never doubles up with another affix that does the same job (affinity_damage), and it is what puts Icy, Frigid, Freezing, Glacial and Polar in an item's name — so you might pick up a Icy Wand.

8 Uniques lock it to a fixed number: The Held Breath, First Frost, The Quiet Winter, Deepfrost Signet, Frostwyrm's Tooth and The Frostwyrm's Breath and 2 more.
