Cold damage

Cold damage refers to any attack involving cold or ice.

Causing Cold Damage
By default, Ice Wands and Ice Staves cause cold damage. Additionally, there weapon upgrades available that convert their normal damage to cold damage.

Most elementalist Water skills causes cold damage. Some Necromancer Death Magic skills also cause cold damage.

Defending Against Cold Damage
Like other elemental damage, Ward Against Elements will reduce cold damage. Any armor bonus vs. elemental damage will protect against cold damage as well. This type of damage is often overlooked in PvP, with Fire and Lightning being more feared, so its proper use can surprise an opponent.
