Dual cold charms

[LouB]

I'm learning something new about this game all the time. I recently found this nice Hibernal charm of Winter.



and since the charm guide says that both cold prefixes and suffixes have a 1 second duration, I just assumed that this charm would also have a 1 second duration. However, when I looked at the charm in GoMule I was surprised to see it listed as a 2 second duration.

Hibernal Large Charm of Winter
Large Charm
Required Level: 61
Fingerprint: 0x4b49edd9
Item Level: 80
Version: Resurrected
Adds 17 - 42 Cold Damage Over 2 Secs (50 Frames)

I also found an old Boreal charm of frost that also lists the 2 second duration.

Now I realize in Hell that the chill time is 1/4, but I'd think that these dual cold charms might actually be useful in normal and nightmare.

For this reason the small charms tend to be more desirable; max 2s duration per inventory square.

FYI, gomule is useful for checking the "hidden" duration for all the Cold Damage items in the game, eg Baranar's star, eye of etlich etc. Especially for the latter, that can go up to 10s.
