How it drops
Glacier Ward is a unique for the shield slot, always on a Aegis base. Power grade 2 of 5: it falls 1.5× as often as a standard unique. Uniques fall from the Risings; a floor drop is one only once in 100,000. Inside each tier a grade 5 falls 8× less often than a grade 1. Only one copy of a unique can be worn at a time.
Stats
Uniques roll a fixed set of affixes chosen to serve the power; only the values roll, from the depth the item drops at and its quality. Below is Glacier Ward exactly as the game rolls it at quality 100, at three depths.

Percent affixes are fixed at a given quality; flat ones grow with depth. Quality runs 50–125% and multiplies every line.
Builds it belongs to
It lives in the Chill / freeze family of uniques, alongside Cocytus, Traitor's Grasp, Frost Totem. Stacking uniques from one family is how a mechanic is pushed past what affixes alone allow.
