Strategy[]
While Frost Breath is a good crowd control skill and has great damage potential at higher levels, its true value comes from causing enemies hit to take increased damage for the next 4 seconds. This increased damage also stacks with Howl and is calculated separately from "Decrease Armor" attacks, meaning enemies affected by all three will take even more damage, making these effects very useful against tankier enemies.
