Yes, warden's class mastery script is terrible especially in combination with Binding Contingency. And no, I'm not asking to nerf these scripts, I would just like some visual and sound changes.

1. Warden's class mastery script, or to be precise the moment when you get charmed, should be accompanied by a sound and a clear visual effect. Now you just start moving chaotically in different directions, and it is not always clear whether it is a lag or you actually got charmed.
2. Binding Contingency (Immobilize Focus Script) also does not have any visual effect on an attacked character. Make clear visual effects on a target like Dark Talons, Bombard, Shattering Spines, etc. By the way, there are also skills that do not have a visual effect of immobilization on the target, for example Abyssal Impact, and perhaps others that I don’t know about.

Together with Dragon Leap and Rush of Agony, all these skills create long chains of unbreakable control, which is not fun.

It could absolutely use some sort of visual indicator.

I'm torn on it even existing, honestly. On one hand, I really like when they have stuff that adds flavor and something truly different to the game - but on the other, the old Fear was changed because of issues now present with Charm (ie, running inside walls) so it seems silly it was added back to a different class?

On the third hand (because I have three, it's fine!) I really hate being hit with it, so any further commentary will be entirely biased.

Yeah but what's weird for me is that this doesn't really add flavor to the warden in my opinion. How is a warden charming people lol? Maybe at least have an animation of the warden showing a cute yt animal video or something.

But seriously who thought let's give the warden this particular cc?

Good point!

Maybe a squirrel should be clinging to face of the Warden's opponent's, blinding them with its furry tail and biting the nose? I'd probably run in dumb circles too, if that happened.

I've had this skill just break my character. I'd get charmed and I just bug out and stand still without being able to break free with a full bar of stam and unable to move in any direction. All I can do is watch my toon die which is the only thing that'll break you out of it.

It's also really annoying when you're charmed and you run in the same direction as you were already going and you don't realize you're being charmed right away since you think you're still moving.

I remember them removing a similar effect from nightblade fear because it forcefully moved you're character and was considered too strong, just for them to slap it on their new p2w scribing system. Someone might be able to find the patch notes and dev comment for their reasoning on nerfing fear.

Like others have said this and rush of agony just create chains of being yo yoed around for extended periods without any control of your character. No wonder there are fewer people in pvp these days. But don't worry they're "keeping an eye on it".

It's just really weird and not healthy for the game imo. It's like you're in the middle of a fight and then, ooh, look ar those pretty trees over there, I think I'll walk in that direction for three seconds to get a better view. To make matters worse theres not real visual queue, but even if there was a visual queue it's just bad. Like, why is this a thing in this game.

Edit: to add, I'm a Warden main and I can't use this aged cheddar cheese. It's just too broken and not really fair.
