Affixes/Chill Effect

Chill Effect is a prefix that turns up on Off Hand and Ring. It gives Chill Effect: +3% to +4% at its lowest step, +62% to +83% at its best — and you need item level 116 before the best one can appear at all.

It comes up at weight 4 when the game rolls affixes, never doubles up with another affix that does the same job (chillEffect), and it is what puts Numbing, Shivering, Frostbitten, Hibernal and Glaciating in an item's name — so you might pick up a Numbing Wand.

5 Uniques lock it to a fixed number: The Held Breath, Lanternfall, Deepfrost Signet, The Frostwyrm's Breath and Solstice Vigil.
