10% chance to freeze, except... Not.

Just wanted to voice my disappointment towards my quality added cold damage which has "10% chance to freeze". i NEVER freeze!

Like any status ailment, the magnitude of the hit vs the mobs health plays a big role in the duration of the freeze. If your hits are too low, freezing duration will be practically zero.

Only cold damage is considered in this case, so if added cold damage is your only source of cold damage, you wont freeze anything.

That's what I've come to understand. Still, my complaint is the misleading text.... "10 chance to freeze" sounds like you'll gain a freezing effect on 1/10 attacks

Why would the information about the status ailment be on a skill support? While i agree that info could be more readily available, somewhere, writing basic info about game mechanics on every skill or support that remotely has anything to do with it, would result in a major clusterfuck of information.

More interesting, why would you bother to post this thread, if you had found out about this game mechanic allready?

I am looking around information about added cold damage and it's chance to freeze, with crits.
I am sure it can freeze, as sometimes my Arc with added cold leave shattered corpse.
As in the case of freezing with crits, the crit damage should be high enough to freeze enemies.
What I am looking for is the chance to Freeze with Added Cold Damage, apart from its Quality.

Then you're simply not dealing enough damage to freeze something.

Just freezing and shock. Ignite has a minimum 4s.

Just out of curiousity, what skill are you using this with? Keep in mind that any skill which contains a "damage effectiveness" mod will significantly affect how long your freezes are.

Using added cold damage with this
is going to be far more effective than using it with this
