Each foe struck with Glacial Advance has a chance to transform your next Frost Strike into Frostbane. The chance increases with the number of Razorice stacks on the target.

Start a frozen onslaught that strikes twice, unleashing the chilling essence of winter, dealing (72% of Attack Power) Frost damage to all enemies caught in its wake with each strike.

Each enemy struck reduces the damage dealt to the next foe by 5%, down to 40%.
