Hit Freezes Target

Hit Freezes Target (HFT) freezes a target on the spot. While HTF does no damage in itself, a target under the effect of HFT can shatter upon death. How much damage a character can cause is irrelevant: the target is simply frozen upon being hit. Because of the rarity of bowazon-usable items that use this attribute, you're not going to find yourself using it too much, and what follows applies only to ranged attacks.

The chances of freezing a target with a ranged attack are:

(50 + (alvl - 6 + (B × 4) - dlvl) × 5) ÷ 3 = your chance to freeze a target with a ranged attack

B = freezing bonus (the default is 1).

Freeze duration lasts between 1~9 seconds; this is reduced by 50% on NM, and 75% in Hell. Aside from wearing more HFT items (they are additive), there is no way to lengthen HFT duration. HFT has absolutely no relation to chill duration; thus, cold damage items have no effect on HFT duration. Because they're not related, HFT has absolutely no effect on the cold-based freezing skills Ice Arrow or Freezing Arrow.

Where can I get hit freezes target?

Equipment:

Buriza-Do ballista (bonus: 3)

Iceblink splint mail (1)

Sockets:

Cham rune (3), when socketed in a weapon

Despite the fact that HFT is unrelated to cold damage, HFT's duration is lowered by the target's cold resistance; monsters that are immune to cold damage are also immune to HFT. Champions, uniques, superuniques and players can't be frozen, only chilled.
