== Strategy ==

* Icy Veins is a powerful perk. On nightmare, many melee enemies are able to instantly kill the player if they connect. The movement speed decrease makes keeping one's distance significantly easier.
* Blizzard must be tested to determine how powerful its damage is. To compensate, its damage bonus isn't poor if its main effect isn't used.
* Coldsnap is a powerful perk. Freeze is an incredibly powerful Affix, nullifying most enemies if it procs and if the player makes use of the opportunity.
* Frostbite is a variable perk. The attack rate malus can be used to provide the player with additional breathing room in a fight. However, the slower attack speed can stagger enemy attacks undesirably or make enemies, notably [[Deadzone: Rogue/Enemies/Phalanx|Phalanxes]], attack at times the player isn't used to.
* Ice Pick is not a particularly useful perk. Although its base damage bonus isn't bad, melee is generally a dubious weapon. It does fit into [[Deadzone: Rogue/Perks/Ghostflare|Ghostflare]] builds on higher difficulties, however.
