Mass hysteria

Gulkrim-mur

Idk about anyone else but sometimes i have to hit this 2 to 3 times just for the proc to catch a enemy even ontop of me. Any reason why possibly or anyone else have that problem?

CC immune?

High latency or CC immunity would be your two culprits.

I don't get the scarlet haze animation to trigger a lot of times if I am in a medium/high player density environment. I try and go by the audio cue but there can be a delay so I end up double triggering the fear.

I know what he's talking about, when it happens you see your icon light up on your ability bar but nothing happens and you're charged the magicka.

Yea, it has been doing this for some time now. The ability tries to cast, you expend magicka, but there is no effect.

Yup. The character does its movements, but no sound or the usual mist comes out. Just a twitching nightblade

It is not an animation cancel friendly skill, I know that. I do find myself hitting it more often than likely needed.

There's been a few times I use a CC ability that the animation doesn't show up, but if I watch carefully can note that the CC is taking effect. Seems more of a lag issue that any thing. But there are still times where I'm asking myself if my CC ability even worked or not. Or sometimes I with use a CC and it'll effect a few enemies but not all, which is highly frustrating.

It also has a very short range. ^^

I love fear and have used it most often throughout all my nightblade playing until recently I switched to using agony morph prolonged suffering. Allows you to control the fight easier small scale and you can drop someone's block right before your meteor hits from range. With Melee nightblade fear is obviously better but go ranged and give agony a try I like it a lot

Oh you have to hit the button 3 times to get mass hysteria to work, that's because it does the work of 3 abilities

OP is talking about something that has popped up only recently. You can be right on top of an enemy who is not immune to CC, fast Mass Hysteria and nothing happens. Two years of spamming Mass Hysteria and only in one of the very last few updates/patches, it regularly 'misfires'.

It also happens very regularly to Death Stroke. Animation and sound play, nothing happens.

Mass hysteria usually only mutes if my target is CC immune. Thought that was some kind of feature since DB update: Animation is only playing if

1. targets are really hit by cc or
2. no targets in range

Huh I have to try and break free of fear 2 to 3 times before it works, usually dead before then. And even when my character breaks free, abilities don't react for the first second.

This single ability is hands down thee most frustrating ability to come across in all PvP. (Okay maybe RD is up there with it) And God forbid you don't have the stamina to actually break free cuz that's a guaranteed death. Unlike my 2 second crystal frag. Or my second and a half streak -__-

Mayrael

Dunno if fear now misfires but i know for sure that breaking it free is broken. Skill as it is now is good, but animations conected with it are far from being ok.

"Are you CC immune?" "No?" "Then what the hell?"

A typical exchange when dueling as or against a Nightblade.
