So, I froze a few guys in the middle of their attack animation, and when I approached to hit them with my staff, I ended up taking damage. I believe I collided with their ‘attack collider’ every time I encountered this issue, like when I walked through the axe while the guy holding it was frozen. I can’t really tell how often this happens, but I witnessed this situation about 5-6 times today

I was able to reproduce it. Does not look ok, especially when frost elemental damage looks the weakest.

I’ll let Moon know about this, thanks for the report DanteX3M!

If you freeze a target during charge animation and you get close to it while the enemy is frozen you will get damaged from the charge. I don’t have video for it, because it’s very hard to trigger it through normal gameplay. Steps to reproduce: Freeze a charging target, it was the charge, when the bug occured I was fighting the 3 elites from the bounty, one of them has a long charging ability.
Furthermore, an enemy that was frozen during an attack animation will resume the animation once the freeze ends, if it can’t be staggered by the shatter, which results in very quick attacks, happens on targets that can’t be staggered from shatter.
Example of freeze not breaking attack animation, it’s not the best example but it can be seen happening. It could happen that you freeze an enemy exactly before it would finish the animation and when the freeze ends you get instantly damaged if you are close.
I believe that all animations should be interrupted once frozen.

best part is when you freeze echo knight during the fastest charge attack he does, once hes out, you will get hit in 1ms.
seen it happen a couple times now, its only a rare occurence obviously and not a big thing, but its strangely funny seeing him frozen and then BOOM just zooms you down xD
but in general i agree, gettin frozen should cancel the action.

Hi
I’m playing a frost mage build.
Heavily reliant on freezing stuff (what else).
I have noticed the following and it’s most obvious at the echo knight in the crucible.
If you freeze an enemy while he’s in his attack animation it still does dmg.
Example
The echo knight his charge forward with this sword.
It has happened numerous times that my spell freeze him in this animation.
But that he was just able to reach me.
At that point it’s a death sentence. Because he can’t move but the dmg still goes through and he basically stunlocks me to death because his charge (that normally goes through you) also hinders you.
At this point he keeps knocking me down and doing dmg. It’s a 100% death sentence.
Suggestion.
When frozen or staggered enemies don’t deal dmg anymore.

Adding another example, freeze doesn’t stop the combo from running.

This is still an issue: I was just killed by the frozen crucible boss, who hit me several times. So annoying!
I’ve been murdered a few times by those big enemies with the spinning razor-pinwheels.
I’d freeze them, and when I move in close to smash them… apparently the wheel still shreds/kills me while the enemy is frozen. Utter BS lol.
