Any Skill to Immobilize / silence bosses?

Vaal cold snap is nice but in boss fights it would get over with the first use. usually builds or characters that need it the fight drags on longer than it can hold down the freeze for.

Of course single freeze is not enough. That would be ridiculous if it was. Cold snap freezes for enough to put freeze mine and you attack between using this mine.... yea, fights drags much longer but you become almost untouchable xD

The way i see it working into my build is with AA + cwdt+ skill+curse on hit + temp chains ( to get he highest level of temp chains off).

CwDT with curse alone should be enough. You can also link some other skills to get even more different defenses.

Curse on hit setups made you lose time and space for gems as you need to first attack with your pre-attack to curse them and then use your normal attack. If you don't plan to use summons or totems, that would be one big waste.

There is a skill that some monsters use that prevent projectile attacks . I guess i was hoping for something similar that players have access to. for most part we can run / dodge melee attacks.

Maybe this keystone then ?

Doesn't work for spells and you should get high evasion to make it really effective. Many builds use it.

if bosses are such a problem 'silencing' them is needed - just skip these bosses.

there are several map bosses that are way above 'reasonable power curve' and there is no shame in simply running past them. some builds have issues with some bosses - it is just the way this game works. if you KNOW your build cant handle boss A or B, just skip it. if you want maximum efficiency - trade these maps for these you can run. it is not worth it to just chance it

for a general 'toning down' - Vaal Grace, golem (chaos preferred but any will do), enduring cry for charges and decoy totem (in that order! end cry will overwrite the decoy totem!) should make boss occupied with someone else and far less dangerous

tricks with chill, temp chains etc are situational and vs some bosses are only marginally effective and in general are not worth the effort if it is anything more than CWDT + arctic breath. enfeeble + offensive curse/warlords mark are way better than temp chains - sure it looks good in numbers but bosses simply shrug curses off. abyssal cry slows bosses down but again - it is a negligible effect (esp if boss is solo as the effect depends on mobs count in skill's radius).

Speaking abou boss freezing - is it even possible to relibly permafreeze endgame bosses after the change to ele status ailments?
