Eye of Winter is a Cold-based spell in Path of Exile 2 that launches a spiraling Eye projectile which releases shard projectiles as it travels and bursts into additional shards at the end of its flight. It's ideal for elemental hybrid builds and area coverage.
"Fire a single Eye Projectile which does not Hit enemies. The Eye constantly releases damaging shard Projectiles in a spiral as it flies, plus an extra burst of shards at the end of its flight. If the Eye passes over an Elemental ground surface or Orb, it will take on that surface's effect causing shards to deal more damage of the corresponding Type."
Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Eye of Winter gem with 5 Support Sockets.
