          Cold Snap

          Cold Snap is a spell that deals cold damage to enemies in an area, leaving chilled ground that expands and deals cold damage over time. It has a cooldown that is bypassed by using Frenzy Charge. It also leaves behind an area of chilled ground that deals damage over time and has a 25% chance to grant a frenzy charge when you kill an enemy within its area of effect.

          Version history

          VersionChanges
          3.17.0
        • Cold Snap now deals 34 to 51 Cold Damage at gem level 1 (previously 34 to 52), up to 1440 to 2160 at gem level 20 (previously 1057 to 1586).
        • Now has 320% Effectiveness of Added Damage at all gem levels (previously 240%).
          • 3.16.0
        • Now deals 34 to 52 Cold Damage at gem level 1 (previously 32 to 47), up to 1057 to 1586 at gem level 20 (previously 666 to 999).

        • It now has 240% Effectiveness of Added Damage at all gem levels (previously 140%).
          • 3.10.1d
        • Fixed a bug where spells triggered by Spellslinger could have their cooldown bypassed if that is normally a behaviour of the skill. Trigger effects that add a cooldown now all correctly prevent any cooldown bypass. This currently only affects Cold Snap.
          • 3.6.0
        • Mana Cost at gem level 1 is now 11 (was 8).
        • Mana Cost at gem level 20 is now 28 (was 20).
        • Now deals 32 to 47 Cold damage at gem level 1 (from 24 to 35) and 666 to 999 Cold damage at gem level 20 (from 668 to 1002).
        • Now deals 26.3 base Cold damage per second at gem level 1 (from 19.6) and 1193.2 base Cold damage per second at gem level 20 (down from 1196.4).
          • 3.5.0
        • Now deals 19.6 base cold damage at gem level 1, up to 1196.3 base cold damage at gem level 20 (up from 997).
          • 3.3.1
        • Fixed a bug where Cold Snap's damage over time stacked with itself. To compensate for this, we have increased Cold Snap and Vaal Cold Snap's damage by 25% at gem level 20, scaling down to no change at gem level 1.
          • 3.3.0c
        • Fixed a bug where Cold Snap's damage over time could bypass damage immunities.
        • Fixed a bug where damage over time from Cold Snap was not removed between PvP rounds or on death. This fixes a case of Catarina minions dying immediately upon being resurrected.
          • 3.3.0
        • Previously dealt cold damage in an area.
        • Now deals cold damage in an area, then creates an area of chilled ground which deals cold damage over time and expands over its duration to up to twice its original size. This effect lasts 6 seconds.
        • Now deals 24-35 cold damage at gem level 1 (up from 9-13), up to 534-800 cold damage at gem level 20 (up from 462-693).
        • Now has a cooldown of 3 seconds (down from 4), which can be bypassed by expending a frenzy charge (previously required a power charge).
        • Now requires level 16.
        • Now requires 18 dexterity at gem level 1 (Previously only required intelligence).
        • Now has an added damage effectiveness of 180% (up from 120%).
        • Now has a 25% chance to grant a frenzy charge when an enemy dies while affected by the skill's cold damage over time.
          • 3.0.0
        • Cold Snap now has 20% increased Chill Effect at gem level 1, gaining 1% per gem level.
          • 2.6.0
        • Cold Snap gains 1 additional unit of radius every 4 levels.
        • No longer gain increased area of effect radius.
          • 2.0.0
        • Quality now instead increases area of effect by 0.5% per 1%, and no longer affects freeze or chill duration.
          • 1.2.0
