Edit

Frostbite

Frostbite is a spell that curses all targets in an area, making them less resistant to cold damage and giving cold damage a chance to freeze.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Negative Resistances: This curse can cause resistance values to dip into the negative, if the base values are low enough. This will have the effect of increasing the damage above values listed on the character screen. For example, a monster that has 0% cold resistance, and then is inflicted with level 1 Frostbite, will take 25% more (multiplicative) cold damage than the spell or attack would normally cause.
Frostbite can be turned into an aura by linking it with either Blasphemy Support or Awakened Blasphemy Support.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.20.0	Now has Base duration is (8-11.8) seconds (previously (9-10.9) seconds). Now causes Cursed enemies have -(17-36)% to Cold Resistance (previously -(25-44)%).
3.12.0	''All curse skills have been reworked and are now divided into two categories: Hexes and Marks.'' Hexes apply a curse in an area and, when manually cast, apply an amount of Doom per second to cursed enemies up to a maximum. Doom increases the effect of the afflicted curse and stacks additively with modifiers to increased Curse effect. Curses applied by casting this spell now gain 10 Doom per second. Now causes Hexed enemies to have 25% chance to be Frozen at all gem levels (from 10% at gem level 1, up to 14% at gem level 20).
2.6.0	Increased Area of Effect mod and its progression per level doubled.
2.0.0	Resistance reduction increased by 5% at all levels. Mana cost reduced at all levels. Area of effect increases per gem level reduced, but the base area of effect has been increased by 37.5% (from 16 to 22). Normalised the increased duration per gem level
0.9.13	Frostbite has been added to the game.
