Frost/Fire proc?

[Zero]

So fire removes frostbite after it bursts, but does it reset build up?

Example: using frost weapon on main hand, fire weapon off hand, will hitting with both cause frostbite to never proc, or proc/reset/proc/reset etc, like in DS3?

Fire damage on frostbite target will only reset the effect of frostbite. It does not reset the proc bar

[gaalbeast]

It resets the frostbite status, once it's procced. It will not, however, push back the frost buildup. So you can do a fire damage weapon in one hand, while using a frost buildup weapon in the other, and you can perma proc frostbite for giga damage.

This is what I was hoping was the case, thank you so many differences from DS3, glad they didn't change this one

Google was no help, too many conflicting opinions lol

Check the "Weapon Highlights" section - I do the math on how much each weapon builds up frost there with this combo

Sweet :D

But ya I did a fair amount of testing with this; most of the weapons (from what I could tell) showed better performance with the cold weapon in the left hand which also means you could do something interesting with the main hand. Since you only need a single application of fire per frost proc, you could eg aplly the redmane fire art to the main hand but leave it with eg Heavy/Quality/Keen so that it is still buffable and then also be able to apply say the bloodflame buff to it. That way you could still reset the procs at will with a weapon art but also NOT remove the debuff automatically when you don't want to and then have a bad ass buff for bosses
