Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

Worn by the famous explorer Theradonn, known for his sunny disposition.

Immune to being locked down

The Ice Climbers free you from two of the game's most annoying effects: you become immune to freeze and immobilization. Especially in dense crowds or against affixes that try to pin you down, that freedom of movement is worth its weight in gold, because a held hero is often a dead hero. The boots also bring all-resistance and protection against cold damage, rounding out their defensive bent.

That makes the Ice Climbers suitable for any class that depends on constant mobility, whether for kiting, dodging dangerous ground effects or repositioning quickly. My tip: this immunity is especially valuable in higher Greater Rifts, where control effects quickly turn deadly. If you must stay reliably mobile there, the Ice Climbers are an inconspicuous but life-saving piece of gear.

No power roll - the stats decide

The immunity is identical on every pair, since the power has no roll range. Whether a drop is good depends entirely on its stats. Fixed on every pair are +91–100 Resistance to All Elements and 7–10% reduced damage from Cold attacks; both complement the power, as freezing often comes bundled with cold damage. A main stat at 416 to 500 points rounds out the fixed part.

For the remaining slots, look for Vitality and Armor to turn the boots into a proper defensive piece. Boots can also raise the damage of a class skill, for example Energy Twister damage for a Wizard. Pickup Radius and a healing bonus are comfort stats for whatever is left.

When to put them on

On your feet, the Ice Climbers make the most sense when your boot slot doesn't have to carry a set bonus or a mandatory power anyway. They are frequently paired with Squirt's Necklace, Aquila Cuirass, Convention of Elements, Blackthorne's Jousting Mail, the ring Unity and Stone Gauntlets.

The flavor text credits the boots to the explorer Theradonn, known for his sunny disposition - a tongue-in-cheek contrast for footwear built against ice and cold.
