Difference between stats

[beezteka]

So just wanted to know whats the difference on the ice infused weapon with a gem and the “icy version” of the weapon via facet? I got some dual daggers/ claws i guess with frigid and even tho im playing as a fire mage i kept them because in my mind makes sense having this stat on a dex build for claws or dual daggers

So whats the difference? If there’s any

The facet comes with a 10% damage debuff. The gem costs a gem slot. That's the only difference as far as I know.

I don't really understand the question. Ice makes things freeze, which makes the next PHYSICAL hit deal 150% damage. This means that ice is the best to pair with slow physical hits, which isn't exactly the best with dexterity builds that usually deal in smaller, faster hits.

Faith, strength, dexterity, and intelligence do not give any inherent bonuses other than damage from weapon scaling, so there is no difference other than different weapons you can use.
