As time goes by, the Wintertide Brand inflicts Cold Damage on the branded enemy and chills them. Every time it is activated, the damage effect of the brand on the enemy will be stronger.
When the Brand is removed (for example, when it expires, is recalled, the target dies, or the Brand is replaced), the damage over time is released in the area. This affects both brand enemies (if they are alive) and all the others around them. This means that if the damage effect is enhanced by multiple activations, a very powerful damage effect may be applied to an area over time.
Unlike other Brands, the basic limit of the Wintertide Brand is two brands per target. With the Runebinder keystone, you can apply three Wintertide Brands to a single target, causing huge cold damage over time. This means that over time, the character’s body will be completely different from other cold damage, but the duration based nature of Brands means that you can easily cast cold skills such as Vortex, Cold Snap or Arctic Breath between refreshing your Brand effect.
