==Skill Effects==

==Skill Design==
This [[skill]] sounds like a cold based Disintegrate, minus the piercing ability, but it's never been seen in use since the very first Wizard gameplay movie, from [[BlizzCon 2008]]. It was too high level to try out at [[BlizzCon 2009]].
==Synergies=Sweeping Wind Video===* No A video of Ray of Frost and all of its rune effects can be seen below, courtesy of [[synergieshttp://www.youtube.com/Diablo3Inc the DiabloInc You Tube channel]] with any of the .[[passive skillImage:Rayoffrost_runed.jpg|thumb|right|550px|All rune effects for Ray of Frost.]]s are yet known.

===Previous Versions===
See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Ray of Frost and other Wizard skills.
 
==Trivia==
This is one of the spells that seem to be coming from the dungeons & Dragons inspiration we've seen in [[Diablo III]]. The new [[D3 Team]] obviously spent a lot of time in mom's basement....
