Nerf chill it shouldn’t do as much as it should compared to everything else in the game

But Chill is only a problem when Reapers are using it.

Nobody complains about Elementalist chill.
Nobody complains about Revenant chill.
Nobody complains about base Necromancer chill.

Let’s put our thinking caps on for a minute: Is the problem reapers, or is it chill?

No one complains about Ele or Rev chill because they don’t get damage out of it. Reapers are the only ones to get damage out of their chill and they get good damage out of it as well.

I am currently leveling an Elementalist, but am seeing the problem that much of my DPS requires me to ride the lightning in and get into melee. Truth be told I do not like fighting at melee range and the fire aoes are not the kind of damage I am looking for.

I want to avoid Necro as I prefer to see my attacks come from something rather than wave a scepter around and boom, dots.

What are my other options for someone who prefers to keep their distance in PvP?
