Guild Wars 2

As a MH Axe user, I’d have to say no to making Winter’s Bite an AoE skill by default – this would reduce it’s range, and a 900-unit range movement speed debuff has helped me catch someone more than once.

I DO have a messing-around build that uses the AoE version of Winter’s Bite, and you’re not catching anyone with that AoE.

I call call skritt kitten on this one. I don’t see how it reduces the range of Winter’s Bite at all. The trait just makes it explode on impact and doesn’t even change the physics of the projectile (meaning it can still land on targets beyond the indicated 900 range).

You know what? You’re absolutely right, it does function as a Ranged projectile-based AoE. I stand corrected!
