    It used to, so unless changed I would say yes.

    I used to love throwing this down on a breach when a raid came in and watch the vamps go in random directions.

    To further buff vampires they probably removed it. I miss the old days when everyone and their grandma's were not vampires because that increased fire damage was real. Now it's a joke.

    I'll be testing it tonight. Hopefully we can have a stamina resurgence in pvp if this works. Send them magsorcs running.

    It works as intended on vamps. Great for scattering a zerg.

    Fire damage was never a thing...counterable by a single piece of Fire resist jewelry and awareness of one's surroundings. Those were also the days where swarm hit like a truck. I'm guessing you don't miss that part.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    It used to be 50%, it was a very real thing. If you came across a mag dk as a vamp you felt it.

    As a vampire I agree with this, so long as the trade off is balanced ya know? Right now, it isn't. I wouldn't mind the down sides being really severe so long as the up sides are pretty dang cool too.

    I wouldn't use this skill on a stam character - it costs close to 9K Stam!

    But a magica character that doesn't use dark deal basically might have 9k stam just sitting around doing nothing.

    There's only 4 sources of (player) fear. Nightblades obviously, Circle of Protection for WW/vamps, WW skills and the synergy for one of the moprhs of the Undaunted skill - the other one makes spiders that do more damage. The fear one is better in PvP and almost never expected by foes. Good for stam-heavy build teams.

    To be clear as Im not sure this is what you mean : Is the undaunted one viable for PVP ? @runa_gate

    Got my first Emp kill when Silver Bolts had just been added to the game.

    Wasn't sure it was going to work on vamp players but it did. I nailed him twice in 2 minutes.
    It was epic!

    There's a trick to using circle of protection and some suits in PVP . Vampire cloak was stacking with circle of protection and if a vamp ganker attacked inside the circle that dmg was reduced by almost 20% on top they would get feared and then trapped in talons . Had to play DK a little like a dot Templar and stay in one spot . The fear only works one time and would have to be recast after the breakfree timer wore off but there is some good tricks even on Magic classes that can be pulled off in PVP with fighter guild abilities . Also used evil hunter on my DK with it .

    I enjoyed swarm hitting like a truck lol it was fun to sit on the sidelines and watch people get mowed down by it. So yes in a way I do miss it. Watching the same thing happen with destro ult brings me back to those days but it is not as satisfying.

    It fears Vampires and Werwolves in PvP, annoying but not threatining plus it costs a bomb

    Main reason I use the other morph if I use it, I get feared out of AOE's so often I'm almost grateful.

    It works quite well at present given sorcs have low cost. Last night I was crit charging+fear and ruining these mag sorcs. Was quite fun and I don't think a lot of people understood what was happening. It's also proven quite a good defense when you get a magdk in your face too. The cost wasn't too much of an issue given I'm running 45k stamina. But it does appear that cyro is at least 90% vamp atm.

    Doing nothing except blocking, breaking CC, sometimes dodging.... no stam = dead. 9k isn't enough stam unless you are safely embedded in a zerg stacking healbots or are very good with shields and stamina management.
