reaper = op vuln stacker
In PvE/WvW we can have 100% uptime on 25 stacks of vuln by weapon swapping and having Spite/Curses with some condition duration and the right sigils. So… yeah. But even without that niche scenario, the chill synergy is really nice, it means GS AA and plenty of the skills can stack vuln, which in PvP means a lot of cover conditions and extra damage.
Dont forget about trait blind = chill = vuln.
I know with shoutbot 2.0 condies wont exist, but its worth a try as a regular cover condi + we dont need to use frality sigil anymore.
just saying:
We have lots of skills that do chill, lot’s of cool stuff to build around it, and now a specialisation that focusses on it!
just saying:
bitter chill : 5 vuln for every chill
main hand dagger + OH Focus (vuln stack + chill (= vuln stack))
+ GS ( chills and more chills)
+ fear = chill = vuln stacks
+ chill based gear (sigils)
+ prolly more chills in the new reapers shroud + vuln stacks from skill 1
+ more play around chill in the reapers talents= one kitten NICE group support under the form of insane vuln appliances (and chill)
OH, and prolly some epic melee play
Engineers and Elementalists already do that while providing much more to the party. We need a class specific buff/debuff in order to begin to compete on top of that vuln stacking.

i’d prefer if that was some shout effects and just mayorly HUGE AMOUNTS of damage!
btw: it just seems they want wells to be a ranged thing (standard aimable) and shouts to be melee aoe damage… hmmm
Death Shiver : 6 stacks of vuln (10sec) every 3 sec while in DS
~20 stacks of vuln to mobs and ~10 stacks to boss with defiant

Calling it now, Well of Darkness replaces Well of Suffering in WvW meta
