Guild Wars 2

It appears this trait only procs once every 15 seconds now. Seems a bit unjustified to me, and honestly not worth taking now. Is an extra 3 seconds of chill every 15 seconds really worth it? It doesn’t deal much damage either. I don’t see why they made it not proc up to 3 times before having to wait for the ICD.

On a side note, GS deals too little damage for how slow it is.

Chilling Nova’s original incarnation was quite strong when combined with Bitter Chill. It was going to get a nerf eventually, but I do think it was drastically overnerfed.

Can you verify that the wiki coefficients for GS and Shroud skills are correct?

Yea. I think it would’ve been fine on a once per 5 second ICD or thrice per 15 second ICD. It was a bit strong before, but it’s too weak now. Bitter Chill got nerfed to only 3 vuln anyway.

Unfortunately I’m not that good at figuring out that stuff, you’ll have to have someone else help you. Sorry.

At this point they should remake it into a different trait. There is nothing exciting about this on a 15 second cooldown, and it’s one of the weakest traits in the game too.

Compare it to Glacial Heart.
