Guild Wars 2

Fear is unlike other conditions because it functions more like a hard CC – making the target nearly helpless for a certain amount of time. However, it also retains the benefits of conditions: increases with condition duration/stacking as well as traits and equipment, and does damage over time (if traited), but is susceptible to allied condition removal.

Being as strong as it is (like any hard cc), should Fear duration more difficult to manipulate like other control effects? Maybe Fear could fill more of a utility role with a larger variety of builds instead of ‘Fear burst’ as we have now?
Should a hard CC even be stackable like a condition?
And if Fear was turned into a control effect what mechanic could replace the dot from Terror?

Fear is also doubly removable, as it can be dealt with like a control effect (stability/stun breaks) or a condition (condition removal).

Fear is fine. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.

Bad idea.

This could crash condition based traits and skills.

this would destroy gw2 along with the east side of california and maybe some of the polar ice caps.

pls no.
