EffectEdit

A Icy weapon upgrade provides the following bonus to the weapon (the user respectively):

• Converts physical damage to cold damage.

NotesEdit

Icy weapons do more damage against enemies using skills like Physical Resistance. Adding this to a weapon, however, makes your attacks weaker if your enemies are using skills like Elemental Resistance or Mantra of Frost.

Icy weapons are often useful in conjunction with Elementalist skills like Conjure Frost and Necromancer skills like Spinal Shivers.
