Ice Strike

Ice Strike is a quarterstaff attack built around a three-hit cold combination. The source card records physical-to-cold conversion and a final strike that is slower and stronger. That makes the sequence important when comparing it with an isolated single-hit demonstration. The gem's weapon requirement is quarterstaff, even when another class or passive route could meet its attributes.

The conversion line describes the portion of physical damage changed to cold. It should not be read as an additional independent hit or as a complete damage increase. The base attack-speed line and the altered final strike also describe different aspects of the sequence. A useful build guide explains which parts it scales and how it handles the time spent close to enemies. Cold Attunement, Crescendo, Freeze, Frozen Spite and Cold Exposure are listed support candidates, but they do not all solve the same problem. Compare their requirements and effects with the desired combination before filling sockets. The recorded mana range changes with gem level, so copying the highest-level setup can change resource demands. Monk gives the closest class-identity context, while the skills table helps separate this melee attack from cold spells or other skills that do not share its quarterstaff restriction.
