Talk:Freeze

Is it just my imagination, or is the extra damage done to monsters if they thaw naturally done completely in Normal damage, rather than the more logical Elemental? I was using an iceburst brandish on wolvers today, and they took greatly reduced damage from the sword attacks because of their elemental resistance, yet took full damage from the ice thawing. Same went for Gremlins and Zombies, neither took much more or less than any other.--CrashFu 04:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Also, I'm pretty sure that the strength of freeze ONLY affects the damage it will do when it wears out. Strong freeze and Minor freeze seem to me to take the same amount of time to thaw out on their own. Can anyone else confirm this? --CrashFu 04:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the damage done on thaw-out is Normal. No, it doesn't really make sense. Yes, I'm 90% confident the 'strenght' of the freeze-effect only affects the thaw-out damage. Cyro Driver ftw! Sunflash 11:44, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Somewhat related, it also says in the description that "attacks that can freeze deal a portion of elemental damage." This is typical of player weapons, but is not a rule, as per the Grintovec line, and it hardly true of monsters as only constructs actually do elemental damage. It also says this on the Shock article, and although shock itself apparently does elemental, the same as above applies to attacks that carry it. Can we just remove that line completely and just make it extra clear that Freeze does untyped damage? Jimbo Jambo 14:39, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
