Right, Thief doesn't have cooldowns on their weapon skills so Chill doesn't have anything to slow down there. That said the other half of Chill still works perfectly fine vs a Thief. Perhaps Initiative should have reduced regeneration rate while Chill is applied.

Alacrity doesnt work on weaponskills/initiative so it's a double edged dagger. Actually ironic we got a Alac support build before Quickness.

Cool down skills only effected and movement. It will NEVER effect initiative as the only way to remove them is initiative efficiently, that's why some skills remove chill

Seeing this I believe you'd be surprised by how many skills are impacted by chill on thief.

You already forget about F1, quite a few bundle on F2, the Shadow shroud's skills and, technically, stealth attacks. Also, it's not "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" it's "2, 3, 4, 5", the skill 1 is affected in the same way than any other skill 1 in the game.

And, just to point out, there are other skills in the game without CD and that aren't impacted by chill: Mallyx's Banish enchantment/pain absorption, Jalis' vengeful hammer, Shiro's riposting shadow/impossible odds.

Let's just accept that such thing is simply a perk of energy management.

If chill is going to affect initiative, so should alacrity. But anet isn't going to do that because then non-thieves will complain.

Try playing thief and getting affected by chill for 3s in a fight, and let us know how busted you find it then...

It turns off their endurance generation if they dodge while taking unhindered combatant.

First of all give thieves 2 different initiative bars for when they swap weapon set.

Then we can discuss of other weird things.

Heh, watch them crank up the cost of Infiltrators Arrow to 15 for that, even if you aren't running Trickery.
