Simplify Freeze Mechanic

Why are you guys always over-complicating tf out of everything lol. It doesn't need to be this way.

For freeze we have:

Damage of the cold hit
Non-damaging ailment magnitude
Freeze buildup

Then if I want to trigger based on freeze:

Meta skills gain energy
Trigger skills refund %

Meanwhile all that really matters is stacking the damage of your hits, then it will inherently increase freeze and trigger skills.

This is a terribly designed system.

Simplify this crap please. Not only is it completely non-intuitive (scale hit vs freeze buildup vs magnitude) but it's overly complicated and annoying to interact with.

I really don't see what you find complicated

Damage of cold hit can apply both freeze and chill unless specified

Freeze is a non-damaging ailment and thus affected by "Non-damaging ailment magnitude". Magnitude is imo quite simple to understand, it's effectively "how good you are at doing the thing".

Freeze build up is just a sub category of "Non-damaging ailment" which allows the specific node to have much higher values. 50% of Non-damaging ailments is much stronger than 50% freeze build-up because one affects all non-damaging ailments and no the other.

Essentially, non-damaging ailments and freeze build up are the same thing when considering freeze.

So you essentially have two things

- Damage
- Magnitude (which freeze build up is part of)

Unless you want them to remove magnitude and only leave damage, I don't see what could be done.
