Cold Arrow

Template:D2 BCS Although winter never seems to find its way to the ever-balmy Amazon Islands, cold climates are not unheard of. The summit of Mount Karcheus on the island of Philios is covered with snow all year long. Deep within an icy cave secluded amongst its towering peaks, is the Great Hall of Mirrors where mighty Karcheus the Watcher sits upon his throne. Ever vigilant, Karcheus keeps watch over the people of the Amazons. Warriors who have trained within his temple are able to instill their shots with the power of a freezing wind.

• Adds cold damage and length, and converts a percentage of physical damage to cold damage.
• Amazon attack rate.
• +% Attack Rating isn't applied, even though the character screen calculates and displays AR as though it is. [1] +% AR from other sources is applied.
• Conversion occurs after % Damage and Deadly Strike or Critical Strike are applied and before Resist % is applied: Damage Resist % won't affect converted cold damage but Cold Resist % will.
• Skill tree description wrongly states that Cold Arrows only do half of their regular damage: there is no such penalty.
• Level >49 converts 100% physical damage to cold damage: the arrow still requires a hit-check, but now it cannot be blocked.
• +% Cold Damage synergy doesn't apply to converted cold damage. +% Cold Skill Damage applies to the skill's added cold damage but isn't applied to converted or attack cold damage.
• Attack cold length is added.

Cold Arrow has the same velocity as a normal arrow but half the range (20 vs 40 frames), so it only travels 50% of the distance and can only hit targets off-screen when they are directly to the left, right and bottom of the screen. Targets must be within a ~14 2/3 yard radius.
