Guild Wars 2

Hammer shock + leg specialist

This skill cobo should immob every enemy hit by the hammer shock skill instead of just the 1st enemy hit……..!

The CD should work on a per enemy basis instead of global in order to not cripple (pardon the pawn) the skill combo…..

This has been brought up before but seeing as

Eles have a similar CD called blinding ashes which can and does blind multiple enemies on burn.

Why not apply the way this CD works to leg specialist ?

The same enemy cannot be immob again for 5 seconds while other enemies can still be affected by it.

You make a solid point with the Blinding Ashes comparison. It would give several combos a much needed kick.

100% support this

Back in the day it did, before the 1s cd, was amazing.

They changed it because warriors would sit on arrow carts in wvw and perma immobilize attackers. In my opinion it would have been easier just to make arrow carts not work with the trait lol.

I definitely agree with OP on his point.

The fact that this trait works so badly with mentioned skill has been getting on my nerves for a long time now. Oh well but I guess Anet just decided a long time ago that Wars won’t really have anything worthy apart from our boring passive abilities…

P.S Also have to mention that Blade Trail with this trait would also make a very viable option, but the way it works is just too bad.

Yeah, they should do this.

Seems legit. I support this.

Yet thieves can use venoms on arrow carts and stun/immob lock you anyway. Fair isn’kitten

“Chilling Darkness: This trait now activates on all targets that are blinded by a single area-of-effect blinding strike before it goes on cooldown.”

They have the technology to do exactly what is needed while retaining the ICDs (the ICD was also needed because of immob spamming sword warriors).

IMO, all skills that trigger an additional effect with an ICD should trigger on all enemies first before hitting the ICD.

Anet plz. Help shout heals too

They added a cd because it was op

The ICD was added because they decided to add cripple to swords AA. If they hadn’t done anything Sword + Leg Specialist would have been a hilarious combo tho =p

Sorry but leg special is terrible. It almost never works in SPvP like planned. The delay along with the short range on the hammer knockback, ruins this. In WvW on the other hand is pretty good, because the zerg likely has more people that can spam cripple and dps a target trying to run away.
