Waiting On Nerf For Fear ..

Father_X_Zombie

Oh it's ok, after you get feared you can't be CCed for another 5s

Right?!

F*** no

I play the squishiest magplar imaginable. Even I can survive fear 90% of the time.

That said, whomever hit me with a fear/ice comet combo 2 days ago, hats off. I wasn't getting out of that one with mist form!

So yeah, L2P.

You are either full of it or play on a server with the worst NB's in the world. I play a tanky DPS Magplar in heavy armor with 30k health and I keep my transmutation buff up at all times during fights so I have 3200 crit resist and sure I'll survive being feared once IF I'm at full health but when I CC break (if it lets me break at all) and I'm feared again one second later that's a death sentence.

I'm neither full of it nor play on a scrub server. I play on XB NA Scourge which is the 30 day campaign.

Are there times where it's troublesome? Sure. But, like I said, 9 times out of 10 it's not a problem. I can use Breath of Life the moment the fear ends and survive. It's not that hard.

Also, if it's that bad of a situation I'll pop mist form and get out of dodge.

Usually by that point the NB has used up most of their resources and then proceeds to get melted by the 40,000 magic I still have left.

So yeah, L2P. Also, L2 stop relying on the garbage known as crit resistance.

Have to agree with this crit res nonsense. It's useless. Go full power or go home. Why live longer when you can kill quicker.

But OT. Fear is a joke. I've just had a 1v1 with another magblade and we couldn't kill each other and we were both fearing each other as a defense lol. I'd fear them and they'd break and fear me, I'd break and fear them, they'd be annoyingly hard to hit and cloak and come back for more and repeat repeat repeat lol proper stupid. It needs a cool down and or not make you run as far or last as long. The snare at the end is a pig too. Why do I need to go so slow after such a long run with full stam? Nerf it like bol at least, reduce it down to 2 people.

Because living longer can mean the difference between life and death too. Why kill quicker when you run the risk of dying before securing the kill? It's a gambit when you play the die hard card, but less of a gambit when you play the survival card. Dueling is going to change how PvP is thought of incredibly drastically because no zergs.

If they nerf fear then Night blades will be destroyed @ pvp

Naw, can just go back to spamming cloak....which needs the bolt escape treatment.

Just give every skill the Bolt Escape treatment and let it all come down to who has the set of gear that procs the 50k damage first.

If you have a problem with fear, you have a problem with any cc and are just bad at this games pvp.

I love when i happen to get feared and i start running counter to the enemies direction and they can't hit me. That's great.

If you live in Australia or some place with terrible ping then sure it sucks, but so does every other thing in this game with that stuff happening.

If fear, an AoE hard cc doesn't break on damage then let's change fossilise and rune cage to not break on damage either. No nerfs just balancing everything out. Everyone gets the nightblade treatment and before anyone says oh but the other two last longe, yeah they do but they only affect one person.

If you really want to follow that logic, it's time to give every class the same skills except with different names.

100% this.

Fear actually has some funny results on occasion. The worst is when you're feared back and forth between two people or off of a ledge.

I feel like fear should only stun 2 people and not reduce damage. It'll make the Nightblade class a little harder to play but not by much. And for the ones who say you can't break it it's cause whenever you dodge roll and get fear you break and it does the animation for breaking free but you still are feared and I think it's dodge roll causing it.

To be fair simply using Mass Hysteria grants the user Major Resolve and Ward due to Shadow Barrier so damage is reduced anyway.

@Nermy ..thanks man, you got me laughing in the bathroom at work...geez, I hope nobody walks by the door...

So they are going to make changes to an ability that has been in game for 2 years and 4 months? Because you are troubled by it? Hhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaa... NO!

I highly doubt time has any bearing on whether or not they make any adjustments to anything. See:

• Streak and morphs
• Conjured Ward and morphs
• Wrecking Blow/Dizzying Swing
• Bombard
• Reflective Scales/Defensive Stance and morphs
• Haste
• Gap closers
• Ninglenel

Yes I know the damage is reduced anyway but then you fear and get 15% less damage from 3 people on top the resistance... Like Im pretty sure some abilitys reduce the dmg by 15% but to only one person. It's makes it easier for nbs to survive easily in 1vX.

Well every class needs to be able to do that so long as even 1 of them can.

Deceptive_Yoshi

They gotta fix the problem of it not showing us we're feared maybe if they gave us a more clear color or icon around our character to show we're feared?

Exactly.

Too many crybabies.

Boo Hoo Warewolfs Fear me too - let's nerf WW.

Nerf until Cyrodil is 100% DK's and Templars with Vampire.

And does no one have ranged abilities? Fear only works at close range.

easy way to balance fear is... give 30% speed buff while feared. i mean frightened people dont walk slow am i right? they RUN.
throw in a major damage intake reduction buff ontop of it and fear can stay how it is but will be more defence than offence since after all, fear breaks block, is one of the most annoying CC to break from and even MOVES you.

This so much, would be funny to watch and actually make sense with the skill

What about magblades. I have a very small stamina pool that I'm trying to save and fear is the best way for me to relieve pressure. Fear is fine, the only thing wrong with fear is a buggy cc break that's literally just as bad with all CCs in the game.

Make it single target.

Whoduhthunk an AOE unblockable cc that Maims, slows and is glitchy would be asked for a one over by devs.

Lore_lai

Wot. o.O
Out of all the CCs, Fear is probably the one I find to be the least buggy, and I play with minimum 230-300 ping.
I can only count a couple of times when fear was unbreakable with full stam and just one time when I was running from a zerg, I jumped off a rock and got feared while in the air. Didn't have stam to break (fair enough) but the Fear made me walk backwards in the air, in the middle of the people waiting for me on the rock - it was hilarious!
Still, that's a pathing issue with the game itself.

On the other hand - I find knockback/stun CCs to be FAR more buggy. Especially if they happen to hit you at the same time.

Hempyre

There needs to be a small immunity, like 2 seconds on all cc and roots.

Im sick of perma lock talons, bombard and fear.
Breakout isn't spammable on a mag toon.

Mojmir

keep waiting

RobTheAxe

Fear is one ov the few skills I don't like because I do not think my character, facer ov all innumerable challenges, slayer ov all innumberable foes, would clutch his head and howl in terror, nay, it would be just to channel fury towards crushing the foul night blade,

Buff evil hunter slotted with immunity to Fear !

a1i3nz

Fear should break upon taking damage. Stam is already so OP that it only takes 2 hits to kill anyone. And as we all know fear can bug out and last 10 seconds.

Avenias

Fear isnt op, infact it needs a boost!

Lord-Otto

It's safe to demand a change to the animation, so you can break it as consistently as other cc's.
For those saying people having trouble with the breaking should learn to play...
Well, if you already don't have any problems breaking it, then I assume a change like this wouldn't negatively effect you, right? It would just even out lag and stuff a bit, so it would be 100% a positive thing.

Beardimus

I hate posts about nerf this buff that, paper meets scissors meets stone BUT im so with you on fear. I'm not blaming this skill or that for my demise I will still die till I 'get gud' but fear is over used, boring, and the CC break is broken.

It happened multiple times last night in thornblade. I need to record some videos where I get feared on my sorc with more than 50% stamina, yet I'm unable to break free which I'm pushing over and over again on the controller. Nothing I can do for duration. So then I'm spammed ambush sa until I'm dead. My mag blade only uses fear to escape. I never needed it to get those cheap kills.

thankyourat

There is a much more broken cc at the moment. I can never get off the ground after I get hit by dbos. This happens to me even if the game isn't lagging. Fear only bugs out for me when the game is really lagging

Daspirria

I guess they need to work on dragonknight's crowd control mechanics first. I am always rooted during pvp since game is not considering it as crowd control. They are spamming the skill ( I am not really sure about that skill's name) and I have to spend my stamina to release. So so annoying...

Cooldown mechanic for each skill can be perfect for this game the but i guess it is too late
