It says the cold duration for saphire gems are cumulative...

Does it means if i put 4 normal saphires ( 4-7 Cold Damage - 2.0 sec Duration ) weapons in a pike...i will get..

16-28 Cold damage ANDD target is ''frost'' for 8 seconds?

Yes that is true. Targets will be chilled for the sum of the duration from all the cold damage sources. However, remember that
1. cold duration is cut to 1/2 in Nightmare and 1/4 in Hell
2. some monsters have reduced chill duration
3. some monsters canīt be chilled at all (most of those are in Hell)

If he's putting 4 in a pike, it likely is a weapon for very early act 2 mercs. Pikes can get 6 sockets, however, so more damage is still possible.

Just about every dueler is going to be rocking 'cannot be frozen' somewhere, even llders.

More sockets have no effect on the level requirement, so you should still get a 6sox pike
