Guild Wars 2

I assume that cripple is simply wasted for the duration of chill, and that the skills don’t stack together? So in other words, there’s no point in crippling a chilled target?

the movement speed loss does not stack. So basically there is no reason to have cripple if your chill can last just as long.

Funnily enough, applying chill causes more slowdown than cripple. But cripple’s main goal is to limit speed, while freezing has alternative benifits.

Freezing is superior to crippling, it reduces movement speed by 66% vs 50%, and increases skill cooldown by 66%. My question is what happens when you cast both at a target simultaneously, assuming equal duration.

It is of course harder to stack chill. That’s the downside.
