Meph's orb...

[filahan]

... is that cold or lightning based?

 

[Guru]

Cold

 

[Snagg]

Mephisto's special attacks are: Poison Nova; Lightning; Charged Bolt; "Skull" missile

Taken from Arreat Summit

They call it Skull missle... I don't think it's cold cuz you don't get slowed when you're hit by it.

 

[Guru]

that is updated for v1.1. And if it's not a cold orb, why does it freeze you? and this is taken from diabloii.net:

Mephisto is not all that hard, his main weapon is a fast cold ball that can do huge damage if you lack sufficient cold resistance. He also has a charged bolt sort of attack and a close range poison attack, but neither of those are real dangerous to a properly-equipped character.

IT FREEZES YOU?!?!?

 

[Guru]

Unless you have 'cannot be frozen' on an item you're wearing, then yes

Ah ok - if you say it freezes me then it would be cold.
