Guild Wars 2

I don’t play a thief, just wondering how chill effects them vs other classes as they don’t have cooldowns on weapon skills do they? so are they somewhat less effected by chill or does it slow initiative regen or something?

It does not effect initiative, only movement and slot skills/steal/heal/elite,

They’re less affected by chill in terms of their abilities (As the -cooldown only affects their heal, utilities and steal)

But they’re more affected by the movement decrease (A key point about Thief defence is using stealth so enemies don’t know where you are. Chill means that it’s very easy to know where the thief is due to the lack of movement)

Chill effects also have negative impacts on Heartseeker and Death Blossom as it shortens the distance travelled using them (Other classes don’t use their similar abilities as often in the middle of combat)

Yeah chill is not fun at all
