Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

On several occasions I’ve been feared by a Necromancer for a good, at least, 10 seconds duration. Once during hot-join game and once during a tournament by a single Necro with no one else around. I am not even exaggerating – the fear lasted at least 10 seconds (when I hovered over the Fear icon the time kept resetting back to 7 seconds several times), I was feared FROM the Mine point TO the water down below. Even with +fear duration traits and runes it would still be impossible.

Is this some sort of a bug/exploit, or am I missing something?

There was a 20 second fear bug necro bug that was supposed to have been fixed. When did this happen? Extremely probable Anet screwed up the fix.

I’ve never heard or seen anything like that, and sounds very impossible indeed so I assume its a bug yes. We necro’s can hardly fear anything above 2 seconds

Happened today.

yes, it’s a bug.

10 necros put their fear mark in one place and you happened step on it? can’t think other way necros would get that long fear

HaHa that´s what i would call epidemic ^^

No, 10 necros putting their mark down would result in a 1 second fear. Remember Fear doesn’t stack.

was supposed to be fixed…. someone could have easliy stacked fears as well after reapers protection

Huh? Of course it stacks… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM6xFtPIsz0

I heard if you corrupt boon someone with stability, that happens.

That’s….hilarious. Does this mean I can perma fear Liches?

Pretty much. It’s also the best way to shutdown dagger storm thieves, breaks their stability, cancels their elite and leaves them running out of control…

Another list of bugs to add to the long list of Necromancer.

We need a fear that lasts that long! >:D

Could be they only fixed the necro triggering necro bug. From what i understand, a similar thing can happen with a mesmer thanks to this trait:
