Can a frozen target burn?
|
My question is literally the thread title. If I have a Fire witch that has an Added cold damage gem on it's spells and I crit on both the fire and cold element, will the target suffer BOTH ailments? As in, it'll be frozen and burning. Realistically it wouldn't work, but I'm just wondering how it really works in-game.

Get that Elemental Proliferation gem and you will have hordes of enemies being frozen/chilled AND burning at the same time. Very effective. Last edited by arare#6497 on Feb 23, 2013, 5:39:57 AM

I've built a coldfire bow shadow around this, it's not just very effective, it's SUPER effective.

Sorry to necro the thread but my question is basically in line with it,
Im curious how an attack is put together and how that influences the status ailments do you crit with the attack in general causing all elements of the attack to happen or do you hit with attack (crit or normal) and then have another roll for each fire and cold and electric (if you have them on your attack) added to the attack and only the specific elements that crit end up causing ailment? or something else? Thanks :P |

Either everything crits or nothing.
So if you deal enough elemental damage of each type to cause status ailments, your target will be shocked, burned and frozen. |

you can refer to this thread http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11707.
because your cold damage is from "add cold damage" gem, the damage may be too low. the "frozen" effect is not applied, If the duration is less that 300ms.

" I'm pretty sure you mean to put an ice spear on that instead of fireball. Since quoting removes gems, He had fireball + ele prof + fasting casting + added lightening That however, will never proc freezing. I think you mean to put, ice spear + cold to fire + added lightening + ele prof Last edited by Cerest#4742 on Jul 21, 2013, 4:57:43 AM

One day when I get a 6L Voll's I'll use cold snap + cold to fire + ele profileration along with other support gems, and freezeburn everything.
on second thought, a 5L would do just fine I suppose. Last edited by Idioticus#7813 on Jul 21, 2013, 7:36:56 AM

Cold Snap has crappy crits. Cold to Fire won't make it Burn so well. DPS is low, too. It's not a main-damage skill, unless you push it hard.
Ice Spear or Discharge are how you do it right. [3.26] ❄️⚡CantripN's Hadoken! - Lightning Conduit Permafreeze⚡❄️ www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3229590 Last edited by CantripN#4278 on Jul 21, 2013, 7:30:44 AM
