Q:
A bad necromancer always blames the corpse.
Are we sure Chilled is working?
A:
This may sound like a strange question, but I’ve often had Chilled applied on me and noticed that I can cast through it and my skills will go into the normal recharge cycle rather than 160% their recharge… Is this actually working? Or is it only supposed to affect skills that are already recharging when it’s applied? (if so it seems a lot weaker)
Chilled doesn’t directly increase the recharge time of skills: it actually slows down the rate at which skills recharge. So the next time you get chilled, watch the movement of your recharge timer: it should slow down while you’re chilled, then speed back up to normal once the condition is cleared.
Mixing insults with your post is like pooping in a salad.
It’s pretty obvious, and nobody’s impressed.

This, and its actually very noticeable.

Guild missions say otherwise.

You saying it’ll still say 25" or whatever the recharge of a particular skill is, but those seconds will tick down more slowly? If that’s the case I’m embarassed to say I never noticed it!
It does make it less powerful though, since most chills are only 3-4" long. If 1"=1.6" under chill, you’re basically only adding a couple seconds to someone’s recharges. It does matter, I know, I’ve gotten killed so many times with only 1" left to recharge on my healing skill, but I was under the impression it was a lot more dramatic, sort of like casting through Diversion in GW1 where the skill you’d activate would go on a 300% or so recharge!

plus.. you walk around like a deboweled chicken.
why Chill+Daze are nasty.
