is "nearby" an area?

say i take "nearby enemies are chilled" from a cluster or influenced chest,
and want to use algor mortis,
((20-30)% chance to Sap Enemies in Chilling Areas;
Enemies in your Chilling Areas take (25-35)% increased Lightning Damage)
could that work?

I beleeeeive chilling areas are specifically the ground effects.

"nearby" means something different for each skill and effect.
It's become a meme, its so absurd.

Here is the wiki post detailing different distances, and the many "nearby"s

Nearby is NOT an area it is a radius.

Chilling Areas => ground effects caused by kills which apply chilling (most likely through cold damage)

If you want to use the gloves, you have to use something like vortex to create chilling areas.

well said, makes it understandable, ty :)

unfortunately also means it applies the same way to necros "near corpses".

well, that leaves me with triggers for cold spells on a light build...

thats just nay.

More than just about anything I want GGG to replace nearby with "ina radius of # units."

at least when pressing alt, i agree.
just a number, or maybe even show the radius as a colored shade if item is EQ'ed.
