Version history

Patch	Changes
May 11, 2021	Duration-stacking boons and conditions now behave consistently. They directly stack durations added from all sources, do not have hidden stack limits, and generally have shorter maximum durations. With most nondamaging condition durations stacking to a maximum of 10 seconds, we aim to reduce situations in which players can become stuck in combat because of a long-duration condition, preventing them from using their mount.
February 06, 2018	Chill now converts to 3 seconds of alacrity.
July 07, 2015	Chill condition now stacks to a maximum of 5.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Boon to Condition Conversion: Resistance converts to chilled for 3 seconds. Condition to Boon Conversion: Chilled converts to resistance for 2 seconds.
October 15, 2013	Skill recharges will now appear in teal while affected by this condition.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Chilled has been added to the game.

Trivia

• This condition was previously known as "frozen".
• This condition was limited to a maximum of 5 stacks on July 7, 2015. When capped, new longer stacks will replace shorter ones.
• Skill cooldown = original cooldown + 0.66/1.66 * chill duration, if the chill expires before the cooldown.
• Skill cooldown = original cooldown * 1.66, if the cooldown expires before the chill.
• Three seconds of Chilled is applied upon reaching any of the mountainpeaks for the achievement Shiver at the Peaks as an indication that you're in the right place.
