Sick of these long lasting chilled ground dots

OP is talking about Cold Snap, which is a cold Damage Over Time spell that certain enemies can cast and leave behind on death. And OP isn't complaining that the effect is too powerful or dangerous, they are simply saying that the spell effect should be removed sooner so that players don't have to stand around for 10 seconds, not playing the game, before they walk over and interrogate Syndicate members, place Expedition bombs, etc. And it's a valid complaint: when the effect doesn't actually create any additional challenge or gameplay, it's just a speed bump which is in the way and annoying. Asking for the effect to go away faster when the enemy which created it has been dead for 10 seconds isn't unreasonable, especially since there are zero counterplay options in Path of Exile for dealing with Cold DoT because it is not an ailment.

Can we all please stop gaslighting and straw manning now? The level of discourse in this forum gets worse and worse every league, we don't HAVE to be Reddit. We can choose to be better than this, and have conversations like adults.

Exactly! Im not complaining about chill effect, the or how the dot is too dangerous, im complaining about the useless, abnormally long duration of the dot. Making it 4 seconds instead of 12 seconds wouldnt change anything but remove the annoyance. As you said it better than I did, a mob's effect shouldnt still be in effect 12 seconds after his death.

Give you a best recommendation: stop buying their support packs, they might start trying to listen to you.

Would be incredibly interesting if they dropped the duration to 3-4 seconds, but increased the damage drastically. More danger, less boredom. Understandably, wouldn't be everyone's first choice, but I think it'd be a fair compromise.
