Cold damage

Cold damage is caused by any attack involving cold or ice. This type of damage is often overlooked in PvP (with fire damage and lightning damage being more feared), so its proper use can surprise an opponent.

Weapon Upgrades that cause cold damage:

 * Icy Axe Haft, Hammer Haft, Staff haft, Sword Hilt and Bow string
 * Icy Wand?

One Elementalist Armor gives more armor against cold damage.

Weapon Upgrades against cold damage:

 * Axe Grip, Hammer Grip, Sword Pommel and Bow grip Of Warding give +4-7 Armor against cold damage.
 * Focus Items and Shields can have +4-8 Armor against cold damage.
 * Aditional Weapon Upgrades give +4-8 Armor against cold damage.

When to use Cold
Cold damage is bound to skills that slow down movement.

Some Water magic skills end if someone takes fire damage, a ranger should use winter against that.
