Going to build one of these as a replacement for the sealed sword in T2LD.

Can those of you with experience with either in clockworks or lockdown give me an idea of how often the status comes up on the 2nd hit? Looking for data for the 2nd hit only, not the charge attack.

Kamarin 0% Grinvotec

Kamarin 0%
Grinvotec something other than 0%

Grinto 3-4%

From almost exclusive use of a Triglav over a 30 day period, I can confirm that the chance of freeze is irritatingly low. We are talking <5%. Probably a 3-4% chance is my best guess. Basically, don't rely on the status as part of your offensive strategy, when it happens it is usually a pleasant surprise, especially in PVP. I don't remember if as a Grintovic things were different, but it certainly didn't proc more often.

Hmm

I was testing the Fearless Rigadoon (chance of stun) and only around 1 in 16 hits produced a stun. If Grinvotec is anything like that then <5% is about right.

Well, it does say "slight"

Yeah, the charge attack from the DVS is 5%, but the primary is abysmally low. Around 2.5% I suspect a similar combat mechanic is used for Grintovec.

@Culture Yeah, 1 in 16, looks like you're sitting on 6% chance to stun. Hurray Negative Binomial distribution!

Yep...

Even at 5*, the Triglav almost never gets freeze (even on the charge attack.)

The standard (stun) line never gets stun without the charge, which stuns often.
With the freeze ones, it's much lower but you can get it on the normal swing. I don't even expect things to freeze except when I'm hitting 4+ enemies, where your chance of freezing ONE of them goes up drastically.
