Guild Wars 2

(6): When you use a healing skill nearby foes are chilled for 3 seconds. (Cooldown: 10s)

First I thought it is a bug that the rune is not triggered through regeneration skills, but from the wiki it seems that healing skills are just real healing skills.
Right now it is for my playstyle pretty useless in comparision to take 5/1 instead and so I would like to suggest the rune to be triggered also by regeration skills.

edit:I just had a look on all those runes – I did not know that there are that much with the same base – and I still think there is a little inbalance in those if you just say every “When you use a healing skill..” rune works the same way with all those different effect no matter if buff or condition. So after looking on all those runes my wish now seems a little bit special – please just consider to make superior runes effects a little more superior please… ^^

Same holds true for the retaliation trait in the Death line (cannot remember its name). It isn’t triggered by regeneration of syphoning life either

Those effects would be OP on some cases if it triggered in any kind of skills that heals.
For example elementalist water first skill with staff heals.

I don’t think so, because it is just for 3 seconds with 10s cd and they could adjust the cooldown if it is not enough. So I do not see any problem with it. I mean if I apply a full set of runes it should be somehow usefull and I do not see how this rune is in current state – at least for me as a necromancer..

It’s a brilliant rune as it is right now, and works great in PvP when coupled with a hydromancy sigil in the second weapon set. Buffing it to work on any kind of skill with a healing or regeneration component would be beyondkitten and would allow 100% uptime of one of be best soft CCs in the game.

On another note, has anyone tested the +20% chilled duration? I tried it with chillblains and it seemed to last the same amount of time.

I’m assuming it’s a bug. Maybe it doesn’t stack with +condition duration from traits?
