Guild Wars 2

So Deep freeze on eles FB is impossible to land on half decent players. if they see you charging up for 2 1.5 secs they WILL dodge. I suggest briging the duration of the freeze to 3 secs and decreasing the cast time to 1 sec

Nah, it’s just a skill you need to chain with another. Try Signet of Earth at the same time. It’s a really strong freeze that can’t be stun broken. I believe it’s in a good spot.

Wel my point that its to noticeable when charging i usually have to wait them out and count dodges and watch aegis… as long as they are not running any vigor/ endurance recover. also the arrow that fires is pretty bad.. it gets obstrucetd sometimes when theres nothing in the way it zig zags

I’m pretty sure it’s the single best stun in the game. It really should be hard to land.

For the obstructed thing, they really need to fix that. It’s weird.

… its hard to land if your fighting someone that doesnt face roll. yea i can hot join and land but against people who are actually good its hard to use esp since you have to stand still and theres a big animation for it

It’s incredibly good and rewards you greatly for landing it. I prefer it in its current incarnation. Just fix the obstructed bugs.

I’d be fine if they reduced casting time but made it stunbreak-able, but it’s very unique in its current incarnation.

If i remember that is one of the few hard cc that is not stunbreakable and it is not a elite skills. So if it was easy to land it would probably be op.

I would much rather it be a shorter cast time you can use on the move that gives maybe a 1-2 second stun or daze, and a decent duration chill. A 5 second stun is great but standing still for 2 seconds to cast it + time to summon the FB in the first place means youll be dead before it casts most of the time, and like the op said even if it fires a decent player will notice it with plenty of time to dodge.

While charging it lightning flash right in your opponents face so you can ignore its travel time. Pretty easy to hit that way.

Lightning Flash seems to be the bandaid to many ele skills…

You can’t buff things that have to be set up by a group into making it usable by yourself, as if only what you do by yourself matters, especially in a pvp format, which you are talking about. There should be in fact way more skills like that, without even such dramatic effect. Landing them would mean strong teamplay, not braindead spamming, as well as making teamfights way less random. Just step up u know.. Doing everything by yourself is what is destroying the game atm. Everything gets to do all sorts of crazy kitten that shouldn’t be possible realisticly in a 5v5 format.

I have to agree, deep freeze is fine as it is. Quite impossible to land in an 1v1 (but if it lands, the fight is over) if you don’t chain it with some immobilizes. It can be a really good skill in a teamfight where an enemy can be forced to dodge other things and doesn’t pay attention to a sneaky elementalist.
