Freeze duration

If you wear two pieces of equipment that say "half freeze duration" does that mean you have 1/4 freeze duration? Or do three pieces give 1/8 freeze duration?

yes, i do believe that half freeze duration stacks, so two would give 1/4, three 1/8....i'm not 100% sure though

I have a feeling that it doens't stack...

good question though.

OK does anybody know for sure? Anyone??

They stack, just as Poison duration does. So two items with Half Freeze duration reduces your chill duration to 1/4, three items to 1/8, etc.

Half freeze duration doesn't stack. Cold length is either halved, nullified, or at 100%. Then Cold resist lowers/increases it.

Damn, it's not my week on the Newcomer Forum. That is the second time I seem to offer the wrong information. This is good news for the newbie guide I am working on... :cheesy:

DiabloII.net's information is wrong then. Other sources I checked say indeed that it does not stack - too bad the Arreat Summit doesn't mention anything about it. That is the last time I check diabloII.net for information.

I advice you not to use the old pages on dii.net for answers anyway. They're obviously outdated, and some never were correct. Someday, they will have to be updated.

so then if I have a shield, gloves, and an amulet that say 1/2 freeze duration, then I might as well get rid of two of them, right? Because only one will work. I'm trying to free up some room.

If you have no need for the other mods on those ditched items then yes. And especially when you can use better equipment there.
