Chills cause pathing stutters #542

The original thought was that AoE splash damage from Silvers and Yellow Sapphires could break pathing in 1.32. This observed behavior was confirmed to exist in 1.31 as well, but specifically involves Chill, irrespective of the source. The more sources, the greater the observed pathing issues. It very likely existed before then, but there is little point in confirming that fact.

Additional testing is probably needed, as Gem uses a custom slow value for Chill. This may or may not make difference. It is most likely that Chill needs to be avoided, and a custom solution introduced. Given that Slow Poison, which also adjusts movement speed, does not exhibit this behavior, a custom solution should not exhibit the same problem.
