Deep Freeze

Deep Freeze is a Sorcerer skill from the Ultimate skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player	Exploits Condition
Cold Dmg	N/A
Immunity
Chills (CC)
Freezes (CC)
Barrier
- Cooldowns
Ultimate
Frost

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of a condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.

Deep Freeze Encase yourself in ice, becoming Immune for 4 seconds, continually dealing 25% damage, and Chilling (CC) enemies for 14%. When Deep Freeze expires, it deals an additional 100% damage. Casting Deep Freeze again ends the effect early. Cooldown: 60 seconds. Damage: Cold Lucky Hit Chance: 2% Tags: Ultimate, Frost

Upgrades

Prime Deep Freeze When Deep Freeze ends, gain 10% of your Base Life as a Barrier for 6 seconds for each enemy you Froze while it was active.

Supreme Deep Freeze When Deep Freeze ends, your non-Ultimate Cooldowns are reduced by 100%.
