Guild Wars 2

I love trying new or less-used strategies.

If I wanted to be the King of Chill…what class seems to have the most CC choices?

The one class that you haven’t played, according to your sig (hint: hammer time).

Wintel,

I need to change my signature. I HAVE tried HamBow and a few other warriors.

I am thinking that I suer haven;t tried all the possible builds of all classes, and maybe I have missed something.

I tried a chill necro. I have heard that an ele could possible do a lot of freezing.

Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are.

This was helpful.

10+ seconds of fear by fearing them into the wall while doing 8k+ damage.

Necromancers have the best CC options.

Every single weapon set except Off-hand dagger has a snare. However, you do not want chill necromancers at all. They are trash.

What you want is D/W staff Minion master necromancers. You can keep enemies crippled forever vs. chilled for 12 seconds.

I can’t see where the permanent cripple comes in when I add up the seconds each of these give.

Can you explain further? Have you played this build a lot?

Many people will tell you hammer warrior. That only goes to show how many people just fall into popular beliefs in this game and follow the heard.

CC=crowd control

90% of hammer warriors supposed CC is actually single target.
Bulls rush=single target
shield bash=single target
skull crack=single target
back breaker=single target
tremor=single target
earth shaker=hard crowd control
staggering blow=hard small aoe crowd control
launch= hard crowd control
fear me=crowd control

Crowd is a plural, not a singular.

Warrior has access to many form of crowd control for Pvp purposes (CC in PvE is not a worth while investment) however if they choose to equip all crowd control, they will suffer in the short-md-longer terms because they are essentially now just a one trick pony that lacks any diversity.

The more meaningful CC is more than just I knocked that guy down, shove that person aside. CC when well execute will not only disable multiple players, but also force them away from their intended tactics. This is where fear is superior. Hammer simply stops them, from which they will resume exactly from where they left off. Fear on the hand disables them, controls them and drives them away from what they were intending to do.

Hammer is very rinse-repeat friendly, but it requires the warrior to be relatively close to it’s target and it cannot be used in a tiered environment. Necro fear on the other hand can be used from 1200 units away and can be used in a tiered environment. If you want to stand above a skyhammer node and place fear down you can..warrior cannot. This again gives fear the advantage over hammer.

Fear;
1200 unit distance
multiple sources
effective in tiered maps
=superior

Hammer;
300 units
only viable with melee weapons
less effective in tiered environments
=inferior.

Newsflash gw2 pvp is based around small capture points + immobilize stacking is one of the most broken things ever

Mace/x + Hammer warrior with Stomp, Bulls Rush, and “Fear Me!”. 30 in discipline for burst mastery.

Highest CC in the game

I guess I was thinking of CC that helps your team. Group CC that helps everyone in a team fight do better.

Highest cc only counts if you live enough to apply it/or get to apply it and the setup you just described wont get you past the 3rd button push.

My money is on engineer. / thread Still open.
