Freeze is an elemental status ailment associated with cold that completely prevents the affected target from moving, attacking, or using any skills. It is still possible for player characters to use flasks while frozen.

Mechanics

A hit of damage that has a chance to freeze is capable of inflicting freeze. Critical strikes inherently have a 100% chance to freeze. By default, only cold damage is able to inflict freeze, but certain equipment such as The Three DragonsThe Three Dragons
Golden MaskEvasion: (96-103)
Energy Shield: (20-22)Requires Level 35, 40 Dex, 40 Int+(26-30)% to all Elemental Resistances
Your Fire Damage can Shock but not Ignite
Your Cold Damage can Ignite but not Freeze or Chill
Your Lightning Damage can Freeze but not Shock"The ice seared his naked feet
As the lightning stilled his heart,
But it was the flames upon his lover's face
That roused him to vengeance."
- From 'The Three Dragons' by Victario of Sarn can change which damage types are able to inflict freeze.

Base freeze duration is 10.00 seconds times the proportion of the target's effective maximum life dealt. The base (?) duration is capped at a third of this value (3.33 seconds). If the duration would be below 0.3 seconds, the freeze effect is not applied; at base this is equivalent to 3.00% of the target's effective maximum life. Freeze duration can be lengthened by effects such as the Freeze Duration nodes on the passive tree or the Temporal Chains curse.

Non-unique enemies that are killed while frozen shatter into pieces. They will still leave loot, but all other on-death effects are suppressed, including:

• Leaving a corpse. This prevents raising or exploding the corpse. Furthermore, there is no corpse to transfer status ailments with .
• Taking on a secondary form, such as the Shield Crab.

These on-death effects are not suppressed:

• Spawning enemies, such as with Fracturing enemies. (Citation Needed)
• On-death explosions, such as Volatile Blood. (Citation Needed)
