Sorceress skill · level 24Same against playersIncreases defense and discharges an ice bolt in retaliation against ranged attackers.
Chilling Armor is a Sorceress Cold buff (level 24, requires Shiver Armor) and the last of the three armors. While it is up it adds a percentage to your defense, +231% at level 20, the largest of the three, and whenever a missile hits you it fires a cold bolt back at the shooter, 100–111 at level 20, which chills. It costs a flat 17 mana and can be cast in town.

The defense bonus is the aura's stat skill_armor_percent with aurastatcalc1 ln12: Param1 60 (the table's "Armor % baseline") plus Param2 9 a level ("Armor % per level"): 141% at level 10, 231% at level 20, 321% at level
The bolt's damage comes from EMin 16 and EMax 20 with HitShift 7, which halves them: 8–10 at level 1. The minimum then grows +4 a level to level 8, +5 to 16, +6 to 22, +7 to 28 and +8 past that; the maximum grows +4.5, +5.5, +6.5, +7.5 and +8.5 over the same brackets. That is 46–52 at level 10, 100–111 at level 20, 170–186 at level 30.
The bolt's cold length has no tooltip line, so it is not in the table; it is in the row: ELen 100 frames with no growth to level 8, then ELevLen2 25 a level to 16 and ELevLen3 50 a level past that: 4 seconds up to level 8, 6 at level 10, 12 at level 16, 20 at level 20, 40 at level 30.
Duration is ln34: Param3 3,600 frames plus Param4 300 a level, at 25 frames a second: 144 seconds at level 1, 12 more a level, 372 at level 20, plus Param7 250 frames, 10 seconds, for each hard point in Frozen Armor or Shiver Armor. Every line but the synergy seconds reads lvl, so +skills count. Mana is 17 at every level and is left out of the table. The Basin's page prints the old game's numbers and D2R's; the current table matches the D2R set.
Chilling Armor puts the state "chillingarmor" on the Sorceress for its duration and listens for the event hitbymissile: when a missile collides with her, the armor fires the "chillingarmorbolt" missile at the unit that shot it, applying the cold damage and cold length above, whether or not the attack behind the missile succeeded (the Basin's page). The bolt is destroyed on collision with any target or obstacle between the Sorceress and the attacker, so a monster in the way takes it instead. The damage is cold, reduced by the target's cold resistance, see Dealing Elemental Damage, and the chill is divided by the difficulty's cold divisor in Nightmare and Hell, see Chill and Freeze.
The Basin's page lists what triggers the bolt and what does not. Bolts fire only for missiles flagged to return fire: arrows, bolts, javelins, throwing axes and knives and other projectiles. They are not fired by radial effects or the radial part of a missile hit (a Fire Ball's direct collision fires one, its splash does not), nor by the Basin's list of non-missile skills: Armageddon, Corpse Explosion, Fire Wall, Inferno, Meteor, poison clouds and the like.
The defense bonus only lowers the chance to hit of attacks that make a hit check; the Basin says that against a missile that is not such an attack, Chilling Armor does nothing to prevent any damage.
The skill level is applied when cast, but +% Cold Skill Damage whenever the bolt lands; only one of Bone Armor, Frozen Armor, Shiver Armor and Chilling Armor is active, the last cast (the Basin's page).
