Was wondering a few things about cold damage, considering putting an sc on my barb again or more.

1. Do multiple different cold damage affix sc's stack their chill duration against another player?
2. Do the multiple sources, even though all cold damage, create seperate mdr bugs?
3. Is there a cap on chill duration from sources in pvp?

1: dont think so
2: no, but different elements (cold/fire/lightning) will create separate calculations for mdr bug.
3: no (that is, if you have two pieces with hfd, and the person has 2 second cold duration on a source of cold dmg, it will half it, then half it again, making it .5 sec)

Either way i wouldnt put a cold sc the duration is horrid and you risk mdr bug.

The #1 char a barb has a hard time "catching" is a zon, deaths belt > freeze.

1. If you have 10 items where each gives 1 sec duration you'll get 10sec cold duration
2. no, mdr is per elemental type not source (psn does not bug), mdr can reduce 3x its amount (cold light fire) EDIT: 4x, as magic dmg is possible as well
3. no

cold protection:
HFD works only once, it does not multiply
cannot be frozen pretty much kills your plan

Everything that you have read is tested by myself.

true, but mainly asked cuz people spamming WSG can waltz out of my WW in less time than had they not, so was curious bout introducing cold dmg to make em stick to me more



and tyvm

ah maybe i was thinking of plr not hfd re: #3, my bad

Anyone spamming wsg without a shield on swap should be getting romped by your ww. Unless you're using way too slow of weapons.



lol b4d, now m4d.

Dual identical shield swaps, example - nado/boner

nice edit noob lol can't even post properly

you should be able to outrun both of these chars with some inc speed points
also just practicing vs mass wsg will help you learn predicting where they are. ask fucking dave he might as well have a blink dagger equipped on marble.
