I think that adding these new equipment bonus stats is the wrong move, and would contribute to overcomplicating the equipment interface. I think the current situation where these factors are determined by equipment balancing, bonuses, stat boosts, potions, and equipment effects is actually serving its purpose perfectly.
I think a simple solution here would be that if we all vote for the new rings to have niche bonuses, have the ice boss ring's bonus simply increase the odds of a freezing spell (bind, snare, entangle included) successfully freezing your opponent(s) without hugely increasing the damage rolled.
In the scenario where these rings are voted in as a direct upgrade to Fremmenik rings, I still think that a ring not locked behind too many quests for all account builds to USE that increases the odds of immobilizing an opponent would be a great addition to the game.
