Quote:Elite modifiers have been changed slightly at higher levels:
•The minimum stun duration required for most Elites is now 0.65 seconds (up from 0.5 seconds); stuns less than 0.65 seconds will have no effect
•The minimum stun duration required for Rares and bosses is now 0.85 seconds (up from 0.5 seconds); stuns less than 0.85 seconds will have no effect
I'm trying to figure out if this change is going to affect Frost Nova semi-spam in a crit/meteor build. If one is able to Frost Nova too quickly, I can see it getting below these levels in Inferno. However, maybe the crowd control recovery rate will be fast enough that maybe it won't be a problem.
Perhaps if Frost Nova lasts longer under the new system, then that could partially make up for the lower Critical Mass proc rates in 1.0.5.
