As it stands, chilling darkness is Still impossible to use do to the internal cool down. Now that chill is weak enough that it’s basically meant to be spammed continuously instead of going for a more duration based approach, the internal CD is completely unjustified and really weakens this trait. Considering that the other option to this trait is auto-plague signet, a removal of the internal Cool Down would go a long way making this trait and deathly chill viable.
Maybe not a removal, but a reduction.
I think the biggest issue for pvp is that it fights with Plague Sending for a slot, as you said. But I could see a lot of bleeds coming out from this having no internal cd whatsoever, in both pvp and pve. But hey, maybe that’s a good thing?
