Blizzard fixed the missile skill AR% bug at an unknown point in D2R, I have added a bug fix note and updated other formatting (warning colors) to reflect this. Multiple other formatting consistency changes (level 1-10 stats, 11-20, etc. changed to level 1-20 stats, 21-40, etc.), improper linking, fixed incorrect mana cost for D2R stats.

{{U|=The greatest of the powers attained by those dedicated to Karcheus is the skill to imbue their arrows with the freezing power of a devastating avalanche. Enemies within the impact of a freezing arrow are frozen in their tracks and feel crushing pain, as if a mass of magical ice had toppled onto them.}}

*Normal Attack's [[attack rate]] is used.
*Explodes on impact or expiry regardless of whether or not the arrow's hit-check is successful, and applies cold damage and freeze length within its radius. A successful hit-check ''is'' required for Pierce to be effective: an arrow that pierces four targets and hits five will explode on each impact.

[[File:Freezing Arrow.png|frame|center|95% chance to hit with 100% piercing results in approximately 81.5% chance of a single arrow piercing four times and applying explosion damage up to five times each to targets that are close enough together.]]

*{{Warn|=Freezing Arrow's +% Attack Rating is not applied, even though the character screen calculates and displays AR as though it is.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/95795-ar-bonuses-on-ranged-attack-skills-dont-work/] +% AR from other sources is applied. Fixed in D2R. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/yowisn/second_psa_strafe_ar_doesnt_work_either/]
*Skill damage is only applied by the explosion, while attack cold damage is added to both the arrow and the explosion. +% [[Cold Skill Damage]] only applies to skill damage.
*Attack [[Cold Damage|cold length]] is added and converted to freeze length.
*The explosion damage cannot be blocked.
