Guild Wars 2

Anyone have the same issue ?

I had some cases where my downed-fear wouldn’t interrupt stomping, but that might have been lag for all i know.

This.

No , doom don’t interrupt anymore , nothing appears on the screen and if you are using perplexity you will not get the 5 stacks of confusion . Try it in game

Maybe you just did’nt interrupt because there was’nt a skill to interrupt?

Wow , please … It’s that hard to go ingame and try against an obvious animation ? Fear don’t interrupt anymore.

It only bugs in downstate for me, sometimes.

Fear still works. Your opponent must have had invulnerability or stability, or maybe you were blinded. Been playing terrormancer in PvP for the last hour or so, and fear has been working for me.

Oh my god guys , i know what i’m talking about , fear works , terror works , but the game don’t count it as interrupt anymore , the best test you can do is to try with a perplexity set and interrupt something really obvious ( ettin in queensdale , heal of veteran guard in wvw , or whatever ) it doesn’t count as interrupt anymore , at least for me .

So basically… it’s still an interrupt, but does not trigger the rune effect? You could probably have stated that more clearly to begin with.

Can’t really help with that since I don’t use perplexity on my necro. You should report the bug if you haven’t already.

I haven’t noticed any interrupt procs with fear myself now that I think about it. It may be that I just wasn’t looking for them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if fear was accidently reverted back to being a non-interrupt, since Life Transfer last patch reverted back to the bug in which it stops channeling when LF runs out.

Maybe when Anet was fiddling around with the Necro bug fixes to downstate, they accidently used some old necro code/scripts that pre-dated the fear interrupt change. Code that included the issue with LT as well (so just after the change to DS allowing actions to be performed in it like stomping).

Edit: Also when did Unholy Sanctuary get implemented? I can’t remember, but was the regen on it the original feature or was the enter DS on fatal hit? If it was only the regen in the beginning, this may be further evidence they used old code because Unholy Sanctuary wasn’t entering DS correctly after the 16th patch.

It’s not about the perplexity itself , It still works on daze . As Balekai said maybe ANET reverted it back to a non-interrupt AND because of this the synergy between fear and perplex is broke .

Yep, because before they patched fear to officially interrupt, using fears didn’t count towards interrupt daily nor did it activate interrupt procs.

Right… so it interrupts stuff, but the game does not recognise it as an interrupt… I’ll keep an eye out for that.

An update here. I’ve tested this a few times now, and you’re absolutely right. Fear does not count as an interrupt anymore. It does interrupt attacks, but you don’t get the “interrupt” message.

There goes perplexity ideas, if I were to guess…

Yea, perplexity will be pretty useless until this is fixed.

Well at least I don’t play conditions… Heh.

Yep fear does not trigger the perplex runes to proc on interrupt. Awesome, another closet nerf. Confirmed in pve and in wvw. Don’t know about pvp but this torques me off as these runes are not cheap and are not as good as nightmare or kitten even without that proc on interrupt.

Well this fix will come in about 4 more months. Yay

I’ve had tons of times when fear doesnt work when the enemy doesnt have stability or dodge (both regular and downstate) but just wrote it up to trait skill that proc on interrupt.

Edit of the title

I’ve noticed more than half the times that my downed fear won’t interrupt (no blinds or stab)

I know for certain that the Necro’s downed fear does not interrupt the Ranger’s downed pet heal.

why am i not surprised at all?

get your kitten together, anet.

Indirect nerf to WvW condition necro and skill like Life transfer stop if you run out of DS while casting . Another step backward

Not 100% sure but even pre patch doom’s fear would never proc the runes only staff 5 and spectral wall(if they used a skill into it or u managed to drop it right on them during skill use), if course I could be wrong as I haven’t ran perplex runes in quite a while

All fears as long as it was interupting procced the runes.

I have actually recently done this. Were you casting the fear on the ranger themselves or the pet? Because if you cast it on the pet it still interrupts it and runs away.

Edit: It doesnt INTERRUPT it but it interrupts it… you know what Im saying

I cast it on the pet.

The pet will flee, but when the fear ends, it will return to the Ranger and continue to heal without the skill ever being put on cooldown.

I know I’m not the forum specialist for Necromancers, but I don’t think this has seen visibility with Anet yet so I’ll be putting it in my next near-term report to them to try to get some traction on it going. I’ll test it when I get home first to confirm, but thanks for bringing this issue up!

In the meantime, has anyone posted it on the bug report forum?

He’s actually been posting in the Necromancer forum for a long time, he just doesn’t have the official title under his name yet.

Yo.

Though it looks like the Devs are having second thoughts about the value of profession specialists, according to Galie’s latest post on the matter. Probably because it was taking too long for all 8 to be represented.

fix this please
