Guild Wars 2

So, I just finished a PvP match where I faced a tanky Necro with more chill than I’ve ever seen. He was constantly applying it and there seemed to be no end. He was running staff and I didn’t see him swamp to another weapon set. He was extremely survivable and was a massive pain to deal with. Any ideas on the specifics of his build? I can’t find anything on Metabattle that seems to match what he was doing.

I can’t help but think that the Reaper reveal did this.

Chillmancer was always a thing, but someone was probably inspired to try it out since the reaper reveal.

I ran a bunker-ish tanky build with lots of Chill some time ago, but unfortunately most of it was from Sigil/Rune procs. We have limited access to it at the moment, but not in the amount you’re describing. Actually, I may try this again .. Hmm.

This chill application was on a while different level though. I was playing a tanky shout guardian (constantly clearing conditions) and I was with a dd ele (also constantly clearing conditions) and both of us were held down by this guy. As soon as we wiped the chilled off, it was immediately back on, and with pretty significant duration.

Anyway, I appreciate this input. Fighting this necro was quite the experience and I would like to try it myself.

Well he could be running chill on blind, we’ll of darkness and plague form plus chill from staff. Dunno it’s hard to keep chill up on someone with good cleanse

Pretty much what I ran with the accompanying Sigils/Runes. Used every Blind I had access to on top of it along with that trait. It was pretty fun but yeah, cleanses hurt it.
