Ever since the Imperial City event I've been hooked on running the IC districts, but one thing I'm consistently getting crushed by is frost magwardens.
First off, I play a 2H/Bow stamblade and therefore prefer to be up close in melee range. My bow bar is mainly buffs/heals, with a poison DoT and Barrage ult.
Particularly, I'm struggling with the combo of arctic blast and permafrost surrounding them, thereby chilling me, reducing movement speed and damage done while also ticking for around ~700-1000dps combined. Throw on gap closers like critical rush followed by dizzying swing and there's just no getting away and no staying close. With the huge AoE there's no stealthing away to get into bow range, and even if I do then they just close the gap again. The only success I've found to have is from big, full-kit ganks bursting them down before it's too late.
I'm running Balorgh's, Briarheart and Stuhn's. At this point I'm tempted to toss on a cold resistant glyph or two on my jewelry just to survive the AoE and make it a more-normal melee v melee fight.
Any tips are welcome
