Frost Armor
Frost Armor is a stacking Stasis damage resistance buff. Each stack gives 4.5% damage resistance (2% in PvP) for nine seconds, up to five stacks (eight with Whisper of Rime).
Stacks come from picking up Stasis shards; the Whisper of Fractures Fragment grants one when you shatter a frozen target by melee; Glacial, Tectonic and Grim Harvest Aspects give stacks on shard pickup. New stacks refresh the timer, and it stacks multiplicatively with other resistance. Values are from guides and may change by season.
