• Ice Blast`s damage per second also disable items like Blink Dagger For the cosmetic item equipped by Axe, see Little Blink Dagger.   Item   Changelogs     Blink DaggerBL The fabled dagger used by the fastest assassin ever to walk the lands. Cost2250 Bought FromArcane .
• Ice Blast is devastating against Armlet of Mordiggian For the cosmetic item equipped by Chaos Knight, see Chaos Knight s Armlet of Mordiggian   Item   Changelogs     Armlet of MordiggianB Weapon of choice among brutes, the bearer sacrifices his life energy to as users cannot activate it to gain HPTechnology company and toggling it off can result in health immediately dropping below shatter threshold.
