Quote: You could have gotten the same effect by socketing a chipped saphire in the bow if you were looking for that cold damage and chill effect. There were better ways to achieve those two results than trying to get +skills to make the graphics change.
She was using cliffkiller. It had knockback, and all the other niceties, but neither leech nor cold damage. But it had the +2 to skills, thus solving this problem. Her other equipment had no cold damage either (tals mask, surprise surprise, for leech and resist and life, and the exceptional leather armor with leech, don't know the name at the moment). And I guess I don't have to point it out to someone who knows so much about the game mechanics like you do that one needs a SHAEL and 2 of fevor jewels to make the rogues reach 12 frames with a cliffkiller, thus sapphires or other socketed cold damage was out of the question. :(
Anyway, I don't want to whine about it, it's just I really liked that effect, and am sad that it's gone. Well, not REALLY sad, it's just a silly lil game after all. Not even the chaning of the ES mechanics saddens me; I'd just rather have it back :)
