I know some may have a go, but hear me out Fear is a usefull skill, but it also seems unfair, for every other skill like that we have a counter move or potion that can stop you being immobliesed etc, but fear does not so @ZOS_GinaBruno would it not be possible so have pots and poisons that can stop this fear skill happening to you, as we have for other stuff in the game, fear is the only one u cant do this to, i know you can break free but breaking free costs make it unfair to magic users as at the mo there is no cc immunity

    Its a hard cc, its been broken in terms of breaking free since beta. Immovables or have a larger stam pool with points in break free cost reduction

    Stamblades don't have a single shield while magic sorcs can have up to 3 stacks of shields. The fact stamblades have no instant healing (outside of potions) nor a shield, fear is a great alternative for survival or upperhand in a fight (paired with cloak, rally and shuffle and it's their greatest defence). A magic character HAS to be ready and have a shield up at all times in PVP and CHOOSE when to break free from fear. Stamina is not a main source for magic characters so when stamina characters break free, it takes away from their main source.

    I am a magic user and find magic characters cry too much about stamina builds. Magic characters are babied which is why I can't play stamina and I admit this.

      most magic users are screwed most only have 9k stamina its not a nerf iam asking for, but rather a choice in what i choose to stop ie: like having immov pot or a fear pot so no its not a nerf, at the mo, the new trick in pvp is they fear u in to a group u break free and since cc immunity does not work probs, u are cc controlled again then dead, i want the choose to pick what i stop like most nowadays have immov pots

      It's a nerf, it's a nerf to werewolves and nightblades for magic users.

      magicka users have it made (besides DK) please stop this nonsense.
      Hoping for more playable races

      CP:
      The Thief -> Warlord = "Reduces cost of Break Free by [x]"

      And to think, you don't even need to use a potion. Be more resourceful. Don't cookie-cut builds. Build to your play style. Easy. I had to put on Shacklebreaker and Amber Plasm for PVP to get more stamina for my magic character to be able to break free more and survive longer while dishing out damage still.

          Then you probably don't use your resources wisely if you are dying while in fear or at that point if you are, take the L, learn and move on.

            I am in PVP daily with my boyfriend. Him and I run into a lot of 2vX's. We help run a PVP guild. Fear RARELY kills me because I keep my shields up. If I do die, it's because I ran out of stamina and my shield is down and I take the loss and move on. That's PVP.

                Agreed.
                Speculation on my part,
                but think what is happening is my getting feared
                trying to CC break over and over
                but not having enough Stamina initially
                and not getting any Stamina Regen ticks for the duration of the fear
                due to block being held down while trying to interrupt
                thus being continually unable to break free
                it is really noticeable compared to when it happens with Stuns
                because it involves a loss of character control rather than just freezing in place

                On the plus side,
                have had a few instances now
                where the Fear causes my character to run around and cower behind an object that interrupts LOS
                effectively saving me from being burst down in the duration of the Fear anyway
