We need clarity on the BI/Cold procs in pvp plz

The black ice damage procs actually do cold dmg in pvp, likely because cold dmg, or basically, the one damage type this game really has besides true dmg from some mobs, is resistible. But the defensive procs that say they trigger when you take BI dmg, we need to know if they trigger off of COLD dmg in pvp or if they are worthless.

As usual, the tooltip is frustratingly cryptic. Forcing us to figure it out out of our own pocketbook is getting old.

Reminds me of a question I asked akromatic about the new boons that say "allies" but not self. His answer was, "you'll have to test it and see, its exciting because you get to be a video game scientist!". Ugh, really?

Anyway, This lack of transparency is getting old. Especially when it costs us greatly to sort out what we should already know. Cut the trend, and clear this one up for us. Thnx.

    Hey,

    Are you talking about the boon itself or bi weapons? I know the BI weapons state there is a chance for BI damage. Which gear are you specifically talking about?

    He does mean that.

    If players cannot deal black ice damage, which the one player-dealt source of (corrupted weapon set) is specifically stated to be changed to cold damage against other players, then the accessories are not so good for PvP, despite having tenacity.
