Blades of Ice

Blades of Ice is an Assassin Skill in Diablo II.

Lore
''Charging the ether around her claw blades, the trained Assassin can chill opponents with a vicious rake of her razors. ''

Synergies

 * Gives synergy to:
 * Phoenix Strike: +10% Cold damage per level
 * Receives synergy from:
 * Phoenix Strike: +8% Cold damage per level

This ability is a Charge-up Skill.

Compared to the other two elemental skills, Blades of Ice has the least damage, and is generally only useful for freezing. If invested in, this skill can still provide utility as it guarantees freezing over the immediate area (Phoenix Strike's 3rd charge can occasionally leave nearby enemies unaffected, due to the missiles' odd flight patterns), and it is not affected by NextDelay, so it can be combined with Phoenix Strike with no worries.
