Shaper of Winter
Your Chills can reduce Action Speed by up to a maximum of 40%
Enemies Chilled by your Hits lessen their Damage dealt by half of Chill Effect [1]
Shaper of Winter is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Elementalist. It allows all damage types to contribute to chill magnitude, causes enemies chilled by hits from you (or your skills used by proxies) to deal less damage, and also raises the maximum chill effect from the default 30% to 40%.
Mechanics
Enemies Chilled by your Hits lessen their Damage dealt by half of Chill Effect: chills from your hits will apply the boolean lessen Damage dealt by half of Chill Effect stat to enemies. For example, affected enemies with a 30% action speed reduction from chill will deal 15% less damage.
- Chill Effect refers to the enemy's #% reduced Action Speed from any chill. This does not need to be applied by the same chill debuff: one chill can apply Shaper of Winter's lessen damage stat, and another chill (including from allies or chilling areas) can apply the strongest action speed reduction.[1]
- This has no effect against enemies that are Unaffected by Chill.[2]
- Because the same modifier (Chill Effect) cannot be included in the same calculation (damage) twice,
