- Character Name- Ptheve
- Issue that occurred- Freedom perk not working. I have multiple sets of gear that would provide me with 5x Freedom that do not work. I’ve done a great deal of testing in group duels with people that have worn the same amount of freedom piece/none at all. Nothing seems to be able to fix this even with newly crafted freedom pieces in all slots has worked either.

Updating with video since no response.
Gear shown in the above video has been obtained after this most recent patch.
All of the gear tested against 300 str/160 con light hammer attempting to get out of a Shockwave followed by a heavy attack seeing as that is in my personal opinion the simplest way to demonstrate freedom not work. With the attacker being in light I would only need 3x Freedom to be able to dodge this.
All of the gear equipped that was shown in the video was obtained over the last week. Raider’s Hat/boots from Tempest’s Heart dungeon, gloves were crafted, chest and legs were provided by company member that obtained them over the weekend.

Bump.
Maybe it got fully broken again? Last patch it at least halfway worked, video is from the 7th of March.
Btw, did the guy who attacked you there had 300CON and Heavy? Because these both amp up his CC durations.
Yes, it doesn’t work, it needs to be fixed.
No he was 50 con/Light.
I will probably record another video when I get a chance.
I have figured out the problem from another forum post.
It comes down to having empowered on your amulet. Any time you die/load screen you have to take it off and on for it you work. The same post claim this broke vigor/invigorated as well but I didn’t really test that. I just got off work, logged on, took the amulet off and on and did the same test and my freedom worked again.
Wow, weird.
Is it viable to have 2 Freedom pieces or are like 4-5 needed to feel a difference, what you think?
I wouldn’t run less than 3-4 personally, anything less than 3 isn’t really worth it. Getting 4-5 Freedom with Resil is hard enough especially with weapon perks.
Yea, thats exactly why Im asking 
Have 1 Resilient/Freedom/Skill perk piece more or less randomly now and was thinking if I get more Freedom or nah.
@Ptheve it’ll also break if you have Vigor, Invigorated, etc. on your armor. Known issue that has been reported multiple times that having 2 kinds of these “reduction” perks (including Freedom) makes them all break.
In my case, I noticed “Invigorated” didn’t reduce disease duration until I removed my armor piece which had “Vigor”.
Not sure if you have another perk that might be causing this - a different scenario.
I’ve tried spamming this issue (should your issue be the same) and another user even made a detailed YouTube video and shared it with the devs. No fix, yet.
Running this by the right people.
While you are at it, can you get them to look into fire’s abilities and it not dealing damage properly when firestaff has another elemental gem in?
It seems to be negating the gems portion of the damage entirely with the exception of
- The first Tick of meteor, but all following ticks are not functioning properly.
- Additionally, meteor seems to not be functioning properly with ultimate freeze (25% frost damage) if using a ice gem.
Can we get a bump on this? I also checked this last night and freedom is indeed not working. Can we please make it actually reduce 7.5% of the full CC length.
From our extensive testing based on all feedback here, it does look like Freedom is working properly.

I agree that freedom is working and stacking, but sadly, it bugs out if used with other timing modifiers.
I opened a topic a few months ago with a video fully explaining the source of the bug, sadly got no official replies.
Posting here again since this topic have official interaction.
Direct link to the video:
Also, about the video of the guy explaining about the time it takes to get out of the stun and checks if the freedom stacks, it might not be counting properly the stun time added by the heavy gear, and/or the 300 const perk. And, they could be applied after the freedom count, it would explain things a bit … not going to calculate it myself this time, just saying that there could be more to it.
Just as a reference, the guy in the video do some amazing testing, but the resilient test for example i did myself, the guy did not understood how it was calculated.
Resilient is a direct counter to the critical multiplier, and there is also the perk with 150 const, that also reduces the multiplier just like resilient. Since he did not included that in the calculations it looked wrong.
Also, just like amazon said in the past, nothing we see in the values of the game are integers, so 4.8 or 4.9 are never that exacly, they could be more like 4.84 or 4.86.

I would disagree. You need to watch this video and test it again.

Bump, Devs need to look further into the issue. There is clearly a problem with the debuff timing perks.
Bump.
Hopefully this gets resolved dumped so much gold for a freedom set lol
It looks like the issue is with the status effect icon popping up when it shouldn’t versus Freedom not working, but we’re still looking into this just in case (and working on the status icons).
