Chilling has been nerfed by converting to resistence.
Chilling Darkness was nerfed into oblivion, then they put a little band-aid over it.

Give us Brain Freeze instead.
Brain Freeze – inflict Confusion (or Torment) whenever you apply Chill to an enemy.

It’s brilliant, and it even fits the Curse theme.

I like this idea. +1.

Or just the old chilling darkness. It was good for both condi and power or bunker. This just leaves any build that isn’t stacking condidamage out in the cold.

+1 and a 1 like for the pun!

I’m against it. Proc off proc off another proc is just dumb concept and ruins the gameplay.
Exactly that would happen if you ever applied any Blind. 4 Conditions out of nowhere.

Instead, give us Chill on Interrupt. We have some good amount of CC effects, but nothing that would reward timing them for interrupts.

As for other, powerful DoT conditions – place them on actual skills if you like. Grasping Dead or FoC.

Have you seen engineers? They can proc like 5-6 condies at once on a single skill. It’s how you actually make condition builds work, by providing meaningful ways of coverage.

Considering it would replace Chill on Blind, Blind would only apply Blind.

Chill on interrupt would react poorly with Reaper’s Chill on Fear since all of our interrupts except Warhorn #4 are Fear based.

Spectral Grasp and Charge say hi.

Sounds amusing, but I don’t want to be making Ice Cream puns about Reapers. Also, base Necro has far too little chill application (DS 2, Focus, and Spite trait) to make this noticeable. The only way this trait should be keeping the ICD is if it was changed to Fear on Blind. As it stands, the best solution would be to unnerf it.

Spectral Grasp and Charge say hi.

Well, Spectral Grasp already applies Chill so it’s the same deal as the Fear → Chill. Charge is an interrupt but it originates from the Flesh Golem and not the player, so it wouldn’t apply Chill.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

Charge say hi.

Charge doesn’t proc interrupts.

I would like this idea better if the rest of curses got fixed first.

Gs #5 would be an addition.

Reaper Shroud 5 also has hard CC that isn’t fear based, as does Chilled to the Bone, but those are also chill effects so it wouldn’t matter.

Bhawb.7408:

Yeah, there’s that too. In total it would give Reaper 2 options for Chill that it would not have otherwise.

Brain Freeze would make the following Necro skills apply a new condition:

Dark Path
Chillblains
Spinal Shivers (and related trait)
Spectral Grasp
Chilling Wind (Lich #3)
Plus possible boon conversions.

It would really transform Reaper into the “Close up = Death” role people have been wanting, without increasing individual skill coefficients.

- You have to take Curses Tree, which means Brain Freeze, Terror, and Parasitic Contagion all blend together really well.
- Opens up Reaper for another build it otherwise wouldn’t have.
- Skills above (minus Dark Path) benefit still but it also benefits:

• Spectral Wall
• Reaper’s Shroud #5
• Frost bolts from Ice Field + 2 new Whirl Finishers or Frost Aura (all self-generated)
• GS Autoattack chain
• Terrify (Reaper’s Shroud #3 second form)

I’m not a fan of any Condi specs other than Necro, Trap Ranger and S/S Warrior, since I think that only these are somehow balanced as an idea.

I know that Engi may fart and you’ll suddenly find yourself Condi-bombed, but I’m still not a fan of procs. That’s why I have been against Plague Sending proc, CoD proc etc.

Just making landing Grasping Dead, Feast of Corruption, Enfeebling and Mark of Blood more impactful and then giving us something like Unstable Affliction from WoW (I suggested Fear preventing condi cleanses) + tweaking LF generation, adding more -% damage traits and fixing Parasitic Contagion & Corruptions, making our base DoTs stay longer than 5s, giving us something like Soul Swap…

..uh, okay, that is a pretty long list…Nevertheless, those things would certainly help Necro out.
