fear should be buffed my fear is level 46 and it only lasts like 14 seconds shatters mute is around 43 and it lasts for like 40+ seconds(not 100% accurate)

reply to Lordhaste:

fear as is is perfectly fine, it gives you time where the other player is completely useless, and your able to kill someone in less then 20 seconds, and my prof 30 mute lasts 1 minute to 1min 15 seconds

fear last hosting lasted longer then mute, fear now is one of the few statuses im happy with, it doesnt last long and is still usefull, but not game-breaking if the person survives it they can counter-status

mute also has anti-mute

reply to Lordhaste:

once again, wrong place, and the time is fine bro

im semi-tempted to go get fear, prof it to prof 20 and kill you before it wears, because fear is still usefull

yeah sorry about that didnt really browse the entire forums yet

Fear is the best offensive status spell in the game (except maybe Confuse, I'm not sure how that one works anymore). It gives you a reliable, static period of time where the enemy can't do anything except run. If they're hit with it, and you're close enough to cast a few spells on them and have an ally to help, they're dead.

Even better when you can Conceal, waltz up behind someone about to attack your domain, and Fear them from behind them, so if they run, they have to get by you, or run into our domain.

Can't do anything but run? Last I checked you can use physical attacks while feared.

@haste

The duration seems fine (to me) as you are unable to use items. When muted you can still chug potions, etc. Also fear has a high success rate.

It's the same with hold. Hold makes it so you can't move, but you're free to attack, cast, use items, and hold has a really bad fizzle rate and a short duration.

You can also upgrade fear into nightmare if you have sleep.

reply to SyperDT:

Then we'd all be Ace fags. SLEEP FEAR XMAG IM SO GOOD GUISE! but yeah anyway... Fear is fine in my opinion it still lasts long enough to kill someone as has been stated.

Baing someone who uses Fear, yea I think it seems kinda short, but when you consider all that it does, it is well balanced and compensated for the duration.

Oh yeah I forgot about that 'cause all my enemies were mages. Even so, I still use the spell on Knights, because the main point is they can't heal themselves in any way.

If you're whining about it so much, it must at least be a somewhat effective tactic. It is a good tactic. Ace certainly didn't invent the combo. He just used it enough to make you rage. :P

Sometimes its still a bad idea to fear a mage, I know that ive killed a certain red wizard with my staff a few times cuz instead of potting after my spell he decided to fear me, so I walked up to him and killed him.

Anyway, No.

Just to keep the record straight:

This guy's the one who invented it. What're you doing here, Farkon?

It's not the fact that he uses it. It's the fact that it's all he does.

Sorry I'm actually a good player and don't rely on cheap tactics to win.

Talk about rage eh Locke.



Anyway I've killed people as a Mage even while feared. You can still cast on hostile enemies you just can't cOntrol what you're casting.

reply to Funshine Bear:

Ive seen ace kill you and your friends easily without that combo so dont say thats all he does you just cant stand that he does do that to you guys from time to time.

On the subject of fear however i believe the skill is well balanced (i have it on my rw) if any status spells need a nerf its sleep but we wont go there. so yeah i think we all pretty much agree fear is good as is.

_________________________________________

Sleep fizzles constanty. It costs a ton of mana to use. It doesn't take that many hits for someone to wake up. Sleep is fine and balanced.

Ace has never killed me without sleep, fear, or xmagic. Try again please.

reply to Funshine Bear:

how about this, you not allowed to use ANY of your skills...cause all spells/skills are broken and when used in pvp are mocked, how bout this, lets remove all skills and spells and just have people whack each other....wait a minute, that wont work, hmmm

pmuch what im saying is that those are spells that are legitly in the game, and he makes use of them, your pretty much bitching because you have some bullshit sense of pride or superiority because you feel your above status spells or x-magic or chain lit or w/e other spell you want to complain about

its pretty pathetic, and if you dont make use of your skills, then thats why your dying, nice try tho

Quoted for stupidity. (On the off chance she notices how whiny she is and deletes it.)

Uh, who used Confuse in, like, every pvp battle before it was nerfed? Oh yeah. Also, I already know the answer to this:

"Only because you guys always did first blah blah blah, you use status spells which are overpowered so I have to also blah blah blah."

I don't know why you think you're so great, I actually preferred going up against you vs some other players. Take that as you will.

I'm not raging; I'm making you rage. Big difference.


_________________________________________

Just so everyone's on the same page, status spells are bullshit overall because they almost always determine whether or not you win your PvP battles (unless you're at that rare point where you can outright kill people quickly). Status spells are in a league of their own despite the constant rebalancing because they've always been overpowered and bitching about them when combat pretty much revolves around who has what status spell is just stupid. Unless they're finally changed to remove their "no player control" trait, they will always be bullshit, and everyone who wants to win will utilize them. Hold and Mute are to a lesser extent as game-breaking, but still damning to be hit by with just one cast.

All of this said, as long as Fear's fizzle rate isn't extremely high and it still prevents item usage, I'd say it's fine.
