Freezing Arrow is the third and last of the Cold-based arrows an Amazon can learn. This powerful attack has an area of effect damage and freezing ability, making it useful for dealing with multiple enemies.
Freezing Arrow is similar to the Sorceress' Glacial Spike in that it hits and freezes a small area of effect upon impact. Other players, bosses, and super uniques will be chilled, not frozen. Freezing Arrow can be a bit more powerful however because in addition to the base arrow damage, it also works with Pierce, Critical Strike, and any equipment modifiers such as Crushing Blow and Open Wounds.
Freezing Arrow is less useful in Nightmare and Hell, where Cold Length Durations are reduced. On Hell the freeze lasts only 0.5 seconds. For a fast bow, however, this is enough to keep most monsters from moving very far. Unlike its fire-based equivalent, Immolation Arrow, Freezing Arrow has no cooldown.
Cold damage items have a "hidden" chill duration. This chill duration gets added to the freezing time of Freezing Arrow. This additional time is added after the Ice Arrow synergy bonus. Stockpiling on small Charms of cold damage, regardless of the amount of actual damage on the small charm, adds 1 second, which in Hell difficulty is reduced to 0.25 seconds. Ice Arrow, on the other hand, only adds 0.10 seconds per level. Generally, a single small charm of cold damage is worth 10 hard points in Ice Arrow. The cold damage from such items are also added to the "explosion" itself, although obtaining external cold damage is much harder than fire.
Exploding Arrow is the second in the line of Fire Arrows for the Amazon, and is essentially an upgraded version of Fire Arrow. Upon contact with an enemy (to-hit not required) or an obstacle, this spell causes an explosion, dealing fire damage to every enemy in the radius. The arrow itself maintains its usual effect (deals damage, leech, and any other miscellaneous effects like Crushing Blow and such), as well as possibly piercing if the to-hit check passes. Any fire damage effects from equipments, charms, and possibly an Enchant buff or Holy Fire aura from certain equipments are not only added to the arrow itself, but to the explosion as well. If the arrow pierces, it may hit an additional enemy (or an obstacle) and cause a second explosion, and so on.
Although this skill also has an upgrade in Immolation Arrow, Exploding Arrow has the benefit of not having any cooldown timer, allowing the Amazon to spam it rapidly. Although the base damage is low, with enough supplemental external fire damage the damage per second of this skill can surpass Immolation Arrow, and possibly even Freezing Arrow. An Amazon with dedication to this skill and the right equipment can still become a very effective character, as long as she has some sort of backup plan against the common enemies immune to fire on higher difficulties.
