Frozen & Glacial Colossus visual

Frozen Colossus: CRIMINAL ACT Unleash a frostbitten Flesh Colossus to pulverize enemies in the area. The Colossus smashes the ground three times over 3 seconds, dealing [8200 / 8290 / 8380 / 8471] Frost Damage with each smash. Dealing damage applies Major Vulnerability to any enemy hit for 12 seconds, increasing their damage taken by 10%.

Pestilent Colossus: CRIMINAL ACT Unleash a pestilent Flesh Colossus to pulverize enemies in the area. The Colossus smashes the ground three times over 3 seconds, dealing [8470 / 8563 / 8656 / 8750], [8892 / 8989 / 9087 / 9185], and [9336 / 9439 / 9540 / 9645] Disease Damage with the first, second, and third smash. Dealing damage applies the Diseased status effect and Major Vulnerability to any enemy hit for 12 seconds, increasing their damage taken by 10%.

Glacial Colossus: CRIMINAL ACT Unleash a frostbitten Flesh Colossus to pulverize enemies in the area. The Colossus smashes the ground three times over 3 seconds, dealing 8470 Frost Damage with each smash. The final smash stuns all enemies hit for [3 / 3.3 / 3.7 / 4] seconds. Dealing damage applies Major Vulnerability to any enemy hit for 17 seconds, increasing their damage taken by 10%.

Frozen Colossus summons a Flesh Colossus to deal Frost Damage to all enemies within a given area. Affected enemies also receive increased damage from other sources for 12 seconds. The Pestilent Colossus morph changes to Disease Damage, and both increases the damage dealt and applies Diseased for each hit. Alternatively, Glacial Colossus applies a Stun to all affected enemies with the last hit and increases the duration of their vulnerability.

Notes

• Pestilent Colossus is a recommended morph for the Deathbringer build, while Glacial Colossus is recommended for Necromancer Initiate and Baleful Summoner.
• Early plans for this skill apparently were to be a Bone Dragon instead. The effects (still found in the database) were:
  • Bone Dragon: Unleash an undead frost wyrm to freeze an enemy to the bone, causing them to take 2429 Frost Damage over 6 seconds and applying Major Vulnerability to them, increasing their damage taken by 30%.
  • Plague Dragon: Unleash an undead green wyrm to spread pestilence to all enemies in front of it, causing them to take 2513 Disease Damage over 6 seconds and applying Major Vulnerability to them, increasing their damage taken by 30%.
  • Frost Dragon: Unleash an undead frost wyrm to freeze an enemy to the bone, causing them to take 3590 Frost Damage over 9 seconds and applying Major Vulnerability to them, increasing their damage taken by 30%.

The numbers here may not represent the actual damage it would have done, but it is notable that except for the Plague Dragon morph, this was evidently a single target ability. The Bone Dragon summon animation was seemingly reused for the Bone Dragon Summons Focus memento instead.

Patch Notes

5.0.9

• Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs had a 1-second delay before they displayed a hostile telegraph to enemy players. It will now display a hostile circle telegraph in the area the colossus is going to smash, the moment the ability is cast.

5.1.5

• Pestilent Colossus: Reduced the escalating damage bonus each hit this morph deals. The total adjustment will result in an approximate 5% damage reduction.

5.2.5

• Increased the total duration of Major Vulnerability to 8 seconds, up from 5. Enemies hit by Major Vulnerability cannot be affected again for 20 seconds after it applies, to prevent situations where this debuff could be kept up indefinitely by rotating an army of Necromancers.

6.1.5

• Pestilent Colossus (morph): Fixed an issue where the damage from this Ultimate could be dodged, despite being a player-sourced Area of Effect attack.

6.2.5

• Removed this Ultimate and the morphs' Major Vulnerability invulnerability.
• Increased the duration of Major Vulnerability applied from these to 12 seconds per hit, up from 8. This will increase the total duration to 15 seconds per cast.

6.3.5

• Fixed an issue where this Ultimate and its morphs could return as Damage over Time in some cases.

7.2.5

• Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could hit targets outside of its line of sight.
