Hey there, new to the game and the limited info on the tool tip is throwing me.
The ice Sabertooth says it converts it's melee damage to cold damage and no longer benefits from melee damage, and only cold damage.
does this include existing +minion melee damage from passives and trees?
How about from items?
Does it benefit from my +cold damage, or only +minion cold damage?
Thanks!
External link →Your Sabertooth becomes an Ice Tiger, converting 100% of its base melee physical damage to cold. Consequently this damage scales with increases to cold damage, but not with increases to physical damage. The Ice Tiger's melee attacks have a Freeze Rate equal to twice their base damage. The Ice Tiger's melee attacks' Physical tags are swapped for Cold tags.
So it's important to note the difference between melee and physical. This node converts the base damage of the melee abilities that your sabertooth has from melee physical to melee cold. They are still melee abilities that still scale with melee damage. The ice spells that you can add in the tree are still spells.
So your sabertooth now primarily scales with increases to melee and cold damage.
