Diablo 4 Slowed & Slow

Enemies that are Slowed have reduced movement speed.

D4 Slowed

Slow is a form of Crowd Control in both Diablo II and Diablo III, usable by both players and monsters. The general concept is limiting the target’s Movement Speed for a short time. This is most useful to prevent the enemy from escaping their doom, or from chasing down a hero willing to run with their life. It can also be used to kite the enemy without leaving combat, giving the advantage and keeping the victim at safe range.

Chill returns in Diablo IV, as a Sorceress class mechanic, also used to a lesser degree by Rogue. Unlike the previous incarnation, it stacks with every application, until it turns the foe Frozen at 100% slowdown, and after death, shatters them and leaves no corpse.

Alternatively, Sorceress may acquire an Endless Winter talent which adds 30% Critical Hit chance against Chilled and Frozen enemies, but Chill will no longer become Freeze from repeated applications.

Cold Damage

Cold is one of the types of Elemental Damage. It is unique in that it not only damages targets, but it also often slows enemies. The effect is visible by a blue hue, and is commonly known as Chill. Frozen effect is a more powerful consequence, often added to Cold skills. Usually Cold is associated with colors blue or white.

Chill

Chill is a special form of Slow, triggered by Cold attacks and Cold-related skills only. In both games, any Cold damage may trigger Chill. Chilled targets are blue in color and move (and sometimes attack) much slower. Unlike Freeze that paralyzes the target completely, Chill only slows the victim down. General rule is that a Slow effect applied by a Cold skill will most likely count as Chill. Another way to determine it is to look at the color: blue or light blue coverage (like that of Freeze effect) will mean a definite Chill.
