build question.

Not sure how this would work and i cant find anything about it so im going to ask you guys :)

if i duel wielded a weapon infused with fire and a weapon infused with frost would that combo well and reset the frostbite timer as soon as the frostbite activates or would the frostbite be negated for some reason? I feel like this would work but im unsure and i have no way to test it.

It will reset the frost on an enemy as soon as the fire damage hits it

you can dual wield a fire and frost, and use only frost to proc frostbite, then hit them with a fire weapon and go for an instant reset similar to blood procs, however if you use the power stanced attacks of a frost and fire, other than testing practically every damage resistance an enemy has, it wont do anything. the frost will build and the fire will instantly reset and unless you 1 hit proc, you wont trigger frostbite.

To clarify the above it only resets proc'd frostbite. It does not reduce your frost buildup leading to that frostbite. So you will not be penalized trying to frostbite something while using fire at the same time, but once they get hit by the frostbite dmg proc it will immediately remove the debuff so you can start building up more frostbite.

You could also do something like inherent bleed weapon + cold affinity left hand and right hand bleed inherent + the bloodfire (or whatever it is called, its a red buff icon which gives both bleed + fire element) on right hand thus you get good bleed + frostbite + fire to reset and the buff is a DoT type buff so it prevents bleed decaying briefly after a hit making it easier to maintain and build up. Just one example idea. The frostbite weapon buff has a pretty good build up stat, too, iirc (might want to check wiki to verify tho). Inherent bleed = weapons that are naturally bleed and can be further infused with other affinity like cold/fire/more bleed/etc. such as Uchigatana katana.
