Frostburn

These gloves are a feast for anyone built around cold skills. They boost the damage of your cold spells and additionally grant a high chance to freeze enemies on hit. More damage and permanent control go hand in hand – a rare combination that improves both your offense and your survival.

The gloves are class-independent but shine in any cold-based build, from a frost Wizard to an ice Necromancer. The extra critical hit chance further raises your overall damage. Practical tip: commit consistently to a pure cold focus for your skills so the damage bonus applies in full and the freeze chance triggers as often as possible. Frozen enemies deal you no damage and are often more vulnerable to your follow-up hits.

Damage Bonus and Freeze Chance in Detail

The damage bonus for Cold skills rolls in the 15–20% range. A copy near the top end makes a real difference, and a Primal Ancient pair has the full 20%. The freeze chance, on the other hand, does not vary: it is always 50% on every Frostburn. Both only apply to Cold skills, so Fire or Lightning spells on your bar get nothing. Check each skill to make sure your chosen rune actually deals Cold damage.

In the Cube or on Your Hands

In the armor slot of Kanai's Cube you get the damage bonus and the freeze without occupying your hands, which leaves room for other gloves. Wearing Frostburn yourself adds a fixed 8–10% critical hit chance plus a main stat at 626–750, either Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence to match your class. Critical hit damage, area damage, cooldown reduction or resource cost reduction fill the remaining slots well.

Frostburn is often worn alongside Squirt's Necklace, Convention of Elements, Pauldrons of the Skeleton King, Aquila Cuirass, the leg piece of Blackthorne's Jousting Mail and Halo of Karini. Its short flavor text matches the power: the gauntlets drain the warmth from anything they touch.
