Critical hits with cold damage can also cause the target to be Frozen. Chilled enemies move, attack, and cast 30% slower, while frozen creatures cannot perform any action except drink flasks. Frozen creatures can still block, dodge and evade while frozen. Burning, Chilled, Frozen, and Shocked are collectively known as Status Ailments. The duration of the chilled, frozen, and shocked statuses is related to the amount of cold/lightning damage dealt: Shocked: 276ms per 1% max life dealt as lightning Chilled: 138ms per 1% max life dealt as cold Frozen: 100ms per 1% max life dealt as cold All three are capped at considering 1/3 of max life - if you deal more than 1/3 max life as that element, the status ailment occurs as though you did exactly 1/3. The maximum unmodified durations are therefore: Shock: 9.2 seconds Chill: 4.6 seconds Freeze: 3.33 seconds If the duration would be less that 300ms, it's ignored entirely (the effect is not applied). For characters using Chaos Inoculation, these durations are calculated based on what the character's maximum life would be if they did not have Chaos Inoculation. yes, i read that in the wiki. so you're telling me ALL monsters will be chilled if i do cold dmg >1% of their max life? 100% of the time?

- What is the base hp / dmg increase of a blue / rare monster? How much extra hp and dmg do they get from extra hp / dmg affixes? And how much extra crit dmg / crit chance / damage from the damage / crit chance auras? And how do these all stack? What is the base crit chance / multiplier of a normal / blue / yellow monster? What does lightning thorns on act 3 mages do?	Posted by jsn006#2582 on Feb 19, 2013, 6:57:33 AM Banned Quote this Post

When in a party, each player in the party after the first gives a +50% item quantity modifier on drops. Does it mean each player in a party receive less drops than a lone player? Since its less than +100% ?	Posted by l0e0u0n0g#0650 on Feb 19, 2013, 11:05:20 AM Quote this Post
Does weapon elemental damage buff flame totem? I know that totems are supposed to benefit from a player's modifiers, and the totem benefits from faster attacks, so I think weapon elemental damage on gear SHOULD buff flame totem. I am just not sure because I have no way of testing. Also, if I get 3 shock stacks by using an elemental proliferation ability and critting once, does that hit benifet from the 220% damage? Or only the next hit?

Flame Totem doesn't deal weapon damage, now does it :P You literally cannot apply 3 Shock stacks with one hit. If you fire three Crit projectiles, one of those will land first. That hit will create a Shock Proliferation "aura", and will not benefit from Shock. The second hit will benefit from the first Shock, and add another. Third hit deals 80% more damage, and adds the third Shock Proliferation.	Posted by Vipermagi#0984 on Feb 19, 2013, 2:32:23 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post
