What is the point of % Chance to Freeze?

Then Freeze must be treated differently to Shock where it explicitly says "increased shock duration effects notwithstanding"... but be that as it may. ;)

Then Freeze should only be applied with hits dealing at least 5% of the target's maximum life ... "increased freeze duration effects notwithstanding".

Then someone should edit the Wiki article pertaining to Shock.

Your wish is my command. The at-best confusing and at-worst completely wrong parenthetical has been removed.

EDIT: Reflecting on the original, it was really a language barrier. "x not withstanding" here means "if you do not account for." That is, if you do not account for Shock Duration, then 5% minimum Life is needed. If you do account for Shock Duration, less is needed.

I'll replace it with less ambiguous wording.

EDIT2: Thanks for directing me to the wiki - ambiguous information is currently on the Freeze page as well (regarding Temporal Chains). I will need to fix that as well.

Very good. ;)

Lol, didn't mean to get the wiki involved but I want to clarify ONE MORE TIME....

If I do 4% of the targets health in damage and I have 100% freeze duration, if I score a critical hit, the target will freeze. Correct?

Yes

(you don't need to score a critical hit either, if you pass Chance to Freeze check it works too)
