'''Frost Nova''' is a [[Wizard]] Tier 3 [[Wizard skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 61, sending out a flash of severe frost, damaging and often slowing enemies.
|name= Frost Nova
|user= Wizard
|description= An explosion of ice pelts nearby enemies for 1-2 cold damage. Has an additional 50% chance of a critical hit.
|type= Direct [[Damage]]/[[AoE]]
==Trait Synergies==Frost Nova benefits directly from the following [[Wizard traits]]:* No [[Black Icesynergies]]: Frozen targets take 25% more damage from all sources.* [[Glass Cannon]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.* [[Intimidation]]: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.* [[Quickening]]: Increases spell casting speed.* [[Beast Hunter]]: Damage bonus against beasts.* [[Demonsbane]]: Damage bonus against Demons.* [[Just...Stay...Dead!]]: Damage bonus against undead.* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces with any of the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.'''Note:''' The current [[traitpassive skill]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game releases are yet known.
<blockquote>''The nova doesn’t just chill, it freezes the non-bosses, and for more than a second, which I was surprised to see at just level one. Presumably chill time is reduced on higher difficulty levels, as it was in D2, but this was a very powerful spell for so low in the skill tree.</blockquote>
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Frost Nova became a level 1 skill.
