Where the cold weapons at?

[Dark Wolf]

Was wanting to do a cold oriented build, always liked ice/cold elements in RPG games. This is a disappointing lack of cold damage weapons in this game, spells as well. Based off the wiki, there are only 2 or 3 weapons that actually deal cold damage on hit, all of which seem very situational or weak for how late you get them.

As for spells, you have a better array of options, but unless you want to play wizard you are still fairly limited. Still a bit of a shame that ice knife is a conjuration rather than evocation. I could see it being either, but still.

There's also that act 1 staff that means whenever you deal cold damage you deal an extra damage and might make the enemy chilled (take double damage from cold)

Only game I remember having a lot of Cold themed gear was the IWD games. And ironically in those half the enemies were resistant to cold .

There's also a knife somewhere that inflicts cold statuses on people who attack you and miss. I never really used it so the details didn't stick, but there's probably a tank build in there somewhere which exploits it.

Well that's not really the case with that staff. You do get some options. The staff makes any cold damage you deal inflict a condition that doubles cold damage. The cantrip is just a resource-cheap way of applying it.

Congrats you completely missed the point still.

I don't think anyone was arguing, just trying to help by pointing out how to achieve the element fantasy OP wanted. Lightning may be more common, but the Lightning Charge ability on items is significantly less powerful. I can't say I've seen many fire weapons, but you can dip weapons in fire.

I made a bunch of ice based weapons and the reason I see that they do not have any is because of surfaces. I gave my mage an short bow ice damage type and it freezes the ground for cc effect (from the victims blood). However my fighter was always on his backside because of the low dexterity and slipping and falling.
