Why oh why must it be like cripple on roids! ARGHBLARGHBMRALGBHAWNMER

It also reduces your skill cooldown

If your out in a snow storm are you going to be running perfectly fine, or are you going to be walking slowly?

It can’t be that bad, unless you vs an ele that is built to have you always chilled. (My friend tried a build like this, it was mediocore at best)

By the same logic.. will you be able to run at all if someone slams you with a sledge/greatsword or get peppered by bullets/arrow for example?
And yes its quite possible to run fine in a snowstorm depending on the surface!

My only problem with chill is unless I have enough breathing room to use my condi removal, on whatever class Im playing, I have to stop attacking an ele when they throw up frost armor. I laugh when people say ele’s are the highest skill curve class.

Thats why alot of hammer skills are kds and some GS skills are cripples :p. Also pew pew arrows crippling shot: “Shatter your foe’s dreams of becoming an adventurer with a single arrow to the knee.”

I think an arrow to the knee would slow me down more, and longer, than being outside where its snowing. I used to live in Michigan…snow isnt that bad.

Yeah chill sucks, that’s why my ranger build used perms chill, silly glass canons, you can’t catch me! And you only get one shot to burst because your CDs will never come off CD if I can do anything about it!

AFAIK, Lighting aura only works against melee attacks and ground aoes (so if you have a bow at point blank you are fine). Frost Aura chills everyone that attaks the ele, including ranged attacks. Best to wait for a ranger to use his Rapid Fire and then pop frost aura MUHHAHAHAHHAHA

Which will stack 100 seconds of chill…. that will be removed in the next 10 seconds anyway! (or less)

Ostricheggs.3742:

Frost aura has infinite range broski. You hit them, you get chilled.

Yes, I was thinking of shocking aura.

The point is the same though. If you don’t want a big stack of chill, don’t attack people with frost aura. It’s like people who complain about taking damage from confusion.

If it’s a bunker ele, it’s not like he’s going to kill you during that time. If it’s a burst ele, you can probably still kill him faster than he can kill you even while chilled.

but jesus christ this is about the condition chill and not eles(other classes can actully get chill too)

I honestly think it shouldn’t have 66% movementspeed reduction AND the skill recharge at the same time. I’d prefer something like 30-40% movement but keep the 66% skill recharge

I’d like chill to effect Thieves initiative

So explain me those obscure mechanics you know…it would be really appreciated, because you know hydromancy works great in paids even vs 3 expec thieves, wars and dps eles

2 sigils of the same “type” cannot proc at the same time. Both of the sigils you listed are of the “Weapon Swap” type, and therefore only one will proc and they share the same cooldown.

Dunno…but shield with hydromancy and hammer/staff (If foefire) with energy seem to work fine…btw i didn’t look for cd but they both work (trigger) as intended on each swap

Aaah, they’re on different weapon sets. That wasn’t the vibe we got from your original post. It sounded like you had Energy on main hand weapon and Hydro on off hand weapon. In that case they wouldn’t proc at the same time. I believe the internal cooldown is 10 seconds, so swapping back and forth should always work unless you’re a Warrior with 15 in Discipline.

Really? I was unaware of this… can you cite a source for this info? I’ve been running double weapon-swaps and I’d have sworn that they’re both proccing, but I never paid specific attention to it.

I did not read this anywhere, this was something I’ve gathered through testing various sigil load outs on golems in the mists. Feel free to test it out yourself, I’m fairly certain this is the way it works.

the source is in the reddit.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/10ilke/how_sigils_work/

Btw why in hell devs post on reddit instead of official forum? I mean…we have a forum, you invite your community to use it and you don’t?

Seriously?

(I know this post is going to be deleted soon)

Sigil ICDs are shared (proc and swaps). This has been common knowledge for awhile. They patched it in beta (with notes). It’s on the gw2 wiki. Etc.

that reddit was a user not a dev

All I see is Ele’s that think their op qualities are just their skill coming through the class, just like browser build thieves in hotjoins, and people who are complaining about Frost Armor which is legitimate. Every other source of Chill is perfectly fine. Frost armor is one button that doesnt require a target and puts max stacks of chill on a gs mesmer/sb ranger in a few auto attacks, which means for the regular person its still ridiculous.

One button, no target, lots of skill. Right? Eles require skill, right? LOL

Think this way..you should be grateful at least you’ve got the option to stop attacking to avoid being chilled to death…if I wanted I could chill you for much longer and more frequently in a far easier way while staying at ranged distance…with you completely unable to avoid the attacks^^, trust me..you’re lucky as you are now , see? some eles actually got an heart^^

more “punishment mechanics” like this are needed in the game.

mesmers have confusion btw, makes frost armor look merciful by comparison.
