Icy shackles on a Swordsman for fun?

For 4...9 seconds, target foe's movement is reduced by 66%. While under the effects of an Enchantment, that foe's movement is reduced by 90%.

5 energy
12s cooldown
1s cast time

It might be inferior to YAA but seems interesting to test and can't be just "mending touched" off . Can't do the testing right now since I am at work.

The build would obviously be

Sever
Gash
Final Thrust
Frenzy
Icy Shackles
Sprint
Heal Sig
Rez

12+1+1 swordsmanship
10+1 Tactics (I like strong self-heals)
8 strength
rest in water magic

Yes, no condition removal, 1s activation time, 2s longer recharge than YAA (yet less conditional), easy to dehex. Might be even old news, I haven't watched observer for weeks.

Test and comment if you can

regards

The main drawback i can see is that it doesnt last as long as its cooldown, meaning youi cant keep them under its effect all the time.
Ill give it a test.
