The skill X freeze was applied during OFF debuff works. In this way The skill X freeze duration is 45 sec. regardless of the fact that the OFF action has ended.

Title of your sex tape.
Did Jake ever say that in response to that specific line? Cause Holt says that line too much and I’ve never seen all of them.
blahblahblah
Back on topic again folks.
Spanksalot, that’s ENOUGH
Jokes aside…
Build is still being polished…but we CAN CC shit

This thread has opened up so many build possibilities with mageslayer set.
I only just found out that this works for regular RR too.
So any burn damage you dish during OFF’s freeze duration will benefit from its -125% fire RR mod…and if the burn duration is long enough, it’ll continue even after the freeze duration has ended.

Hypothetically speaking though, are there any skills like that?
'course not 
But you can cut down the effective CD of OFF to about 3-4 seconds.
And given that…
- average nem can be frozen for ~1.1s with the right skill mods
- and that (if timed correctly) you can hit a frozen target with a 2nd skill which applies 2s freeze - which translates to another 0.3s freeze
You can freeze the target for 1.5s every 3-4 seconds.

i thought you’d be interested in this!
Well, you got me interested for sure. I never thought perma or near perma freeze was possible in this game but now…
Be careful in HC though. Spellbreakers are inherently squishy, and this spec’s defence comes mostly from freezing enemies.
Not all enemies can be frozen too. learnt that the hard way.
What I’ve noticed is that eldritch enemies (and mous) tend to have very high freeze res.
So I’ve dashed into a pack of ugdenbong golems in naked crucible thinking I was going to shake-'n-bake 'em, only for them to remain unfrozen, and very very angry.
Got killed in 1s.
Maximum CD with Mageslayer set is 34% (15% Star Pact + 19% Offhand) that gives 3.96 sec CD to OFF 
Spectral Bludgeon add 1 sec freeze to OFF (that’s why i don’t cound additional 4% CD to previous point) that gives 3,15 sec freeze duration for 100% resistance target 
Second skill could be: Scorge, Outfox or Amatok not to mention any chances procs.
Looks like request to nerf 
Nah, i think it’s fine.
Because nems have ~140% freeze res. And the build is actually very squishy, and* very skill dependent because you need to time skills.
My second freeze skill is TSS actually. I use amatok rune mostly to gap close, or to run away.

It’s also using 2 gdstash’d greens (not to mention alkamos rings) because I wanted to see how the freeze mechanic would function in the actual game
@jawa: yes. it’s been confirmed. I can send you the character file if you want to test it too. It’s really refreshing to play as I’ve never played a spec centred around CC’s as its primary form of defence
Do I get this right - the only application for that right now is a defensive one? The spellbreaker does not use the freezing to profit from the massive Fire RR?
Well. It’s both offensive and defensive, the same way ghoul and/or mirror can be used offensively and defensively.
Becuase of the freeze mechanic, its quite a waste to invest in more typical forms of defence as you won’t be using them as often as you would on another spec.
To return to this example, yes - the breaker doesnt use the the fire RR from OFF.
That being said, you could use it if you so wanted. I’m thinking of trying a callidor’s mageslayer sorc one day.
The trade-off, however, is a much shorter freeze duration. So in this other example, freeze can’t be used as defensively.
Am I even making sense, mate?
Don’t tell me you out of all the people have just realized this only right now…
