Guild Wars 2

This is the rune setup and i like it for the most part besides the 6th bonus. Being stunned and invulnerable is not good for any situation I can think of. Compared to the mistform from vampire runes this one does more harm than help. And if you have conditions you will certainly die inside of a ice cube with no way of counteracting. I feel like i’m the only person in game who considers this rune over others.

(1): +25 Toughness
(2): +10% chill Duration
(3): +50 Toughness
(4): -50% Incoming Chill Duration
(5): +100 Toughness
(6): +20% chill duration; when you’re struck below 20% health become a block of ice for 5 seconds. (Cooldown: 90s)

I do love the -50% incoming chill duration its great and unique to this rune only. Also the idea of having some of jormag’ corruption imbued into your armor is really cool but the 6th bonus just doesnt reflect that… maybe if it froze your foes instead of yourself.

Some ideas:
(6): +20% chill duration; when you’re struck below 50% or 80% health you gain frost aura for 5 secs. (Cooldown: 90s) – Good but typical and boring.

(6): +20% chill duration; when you use your heal skill convert all conditions into chill on yourself(1s per condi removed) (Cooldown: 30s) – This will synergize with the -50% inc chill to only inflict .5s of chill per condi removed.

(6): +20% chill duration; when you’re struck below 25% health you gain protection, regeneration and retaliation for 6 seconds. (Cooldown: 60s) Similar to the skill the Svanir champ uses in Honor of Waves.

I could make a million suggestions but you get the point anything but a self harming ice prison! Thanks for reading and very excited for HoT!

I like this suggestion. Rune would probably find some use.

Thats a great idea actually and probably wouldn’t take a lot to add.

Though in the end i will never be a fan of immobilizing myself in ice while my foes are still running around waiting for me to unfreeze with somewhere below 20% health…seems backwards

Not entirely, it helps you wait for CD’s, could be handy for Ele’s or Mesmers for a quick escape via teleports.

There are a lot of Sigils and Runes that could use improvement and there are posters here with great ideas, but ArenaNet might be hell bent on getting us those elite specializations to practice with in 4v5’s
