I figure this rune + shield would be a nice addition to prevent being bursted down. Useful against GS warriors but I wonder if the chilled effect applies to thieves as their attacks don’t have cooldowns and instead use initiative?

If anyone could answer me this as well as provide details on their experiences using this sigil that’d be great.

Doesnt work with another “swap” sigil, priority on mainhand.

Chill is an excellent condition. Don’t know how it affects thief attacks.

The slow on it is nasty though.

Yeah I think the slow alone would be amazing against thieves. Doubtful however it effects their attacks to prevent being bursted. :/
