To stop being frozen in the game Path of Exile, you can primarily use specific utility flasks or acquire a particular passive skill that grants immunity.
Being "frozen" in Path of Exile means your character's action speed is reduced by 100%. This completely prevents you from moving, attacking, or using any skills, leaving you vulnerable to enemy attacks. Counteracting this status effect is crucial for survival and maintaining combat effectiveness.
Effective Ways to Counteract Freeze
There are two main methods to effectively deal with the frozen ailment:
1. Flasks with the "of Heat" Suffix
Utility flasks are an essential part of gameplay in Path of Exile, providing various temporary buffs and effects.
- How they work: When you use a utility flask that has the "of Heat" suffix (e.g., "Granite Flask of Heat," "Quicksilver Flask of Heat"), it will instantly remove any existing freeze effect on your character. Additionally, it will grant you temporary immunity to being frozen for the duration of the flask's effect.
- Practical Use: It's highly recommended to have at least one utility flask with the "of Heat" suffix available, especially when encountering enemies known to inflict cold damage or cast freezing spells. Keep an eye on your flask charges and be ready to activate it the moment you get frozen. You can acquire these flasks by finding them as drops with the "of Heat" suffix, or by using an Orb of Alteration and an Orb of Augmentation on a utility flask until you get the desired suffix.
2. The "Unstoppable" Passive Node
Certain ascendancy classes in Path of Exile offer powerful passive skills that grant unique advantages.
- What it is: The "Unstoppable" passive node is a specific skill available to the Juggernaut ascendancy class (a specialization of the Marauder).
- Benefit: Taking this passive node provides permanent immunity to being frozen. This means you will never be affected by the frozen ailment again, regardless of the source.
- Considerations: While this offers complete freedom from freeze, it requires playing as a Juggernaut and investing passive skill points into this node, which might not fit every character build or playstyle. However, for builds that prioritize tankiness and ailment immunity, it is an incredibly strong option.
By utilizing either a strategically chosen "of Heat" flask or by investing in the "Unstoppable" passive node, you can ensure your character remains mobile and active, even when facing the most chilling threats in Path of Exile.
