I just learned, chill is AMAZING for DOT builds

hi there,

as you might have read the title, chill does increase DOT damage on enemies immensely, and it's amazing.

by that I mean, that chill does reduce "action speed" just like "Temporal Chains", and by so it increases the duration of every debuff which infect the enemy directly (something like "Blight", "Bane", "Essence Drain" of "bleed", "poison" or "ignite") but not the DOT skills which does ground effects ("Creeping Frost" or "Vortex").

the important part is if the enemy is frozen, it has 0% Actionspeed, which means it should by theory has an infinite amount of debuff duration as long as the enemy is frozen.

maybe someone does come out with an amazing build in the future.

kind regards

Action speed doesn't affect debuff expiry speed. The reason Temporal Chains does is because it specifically says it affects it.

Otherwise Freeze would last indefinitely since it, itself, is affected by debuff expiry speed, being itself a debuff.

Don't confuse him with facts when he has such a colorful bit of nonsense.

Vortex and creeping frost are amazing builds. If you like stopping to cast. Only way I'll play them is integrated into CoC cyclone. Maybe I'll come up with something next league. I pretty much only play cyclone everything. From mjolnir back in 1.2 to phys to every CoC variant possible. It has good flow.

Now with reverse chill it's insane. 200+ MS while cycloning. Thats the clever use of chill you're looking for OP

Fulcrum + Winterweave git r dun!

Bosses can't be frozen, they have a minimum action speed they can reach, so really freezing stuff isn't the bestest of things for everything, though for general clearing.. oh yea frozen stuff melts :D

thanks ;D

Action speed is strictly speed related to action, something your character physically does, such as how fast the character moves, attacks, throws, casts, shouts, etc. It doesn't affect mechanics of things like a buff or debuff's duration or how fast dot tick.
