Who uses Ice

Ice is a four-socket runeword for missile weapons, requiring Amn, Shael, Jah, and Lo. It is a high-level runeword (level 65) that focuses on cold damage, granting a holy freeze aura, increased cold skill damage, and a chance to cast frost nova on striking. The blizzard proc on level-up provides a burst of area damage. It also offers increased attack speed, enhanced damage, and ignore target's defense. This runeword is particularly suited for cold-based bow builds, such as cold arrow amazons, though its raw physical damage is moderate. It is not ladder-only, but the rare runes make it expensive to craft.
