The next step after Frozen Armor, Shiver Armor gives a larger Defense bonus. Unlike Frozen Armor, it does not freeze enemies solid, but it does consistently slow enemies for 4 seconds.
Comparing the cold armor skills, Chilling Armor has a higher defense bonus. However, Shiver Armor only works against melee enemies; ranged attacks will still meet no resistance. Thus which one you want to use will depend on whether or not you will often be within reach of melee attackers.
