Guild Wars 2

You read that in Professor Farnsworth’s voice, didn’t you?

Anyway, I decided to do a few tests, and it turns out that terror does damage through defiant stacks.

However, it does not do damage against enemies that are completely immune to stun, such as giants.

EDIT: clarified the topic so people know what it is about before they go in.

I didn’t realize there was any confusion on this one? Anytime the “fear” debuff shows on the target, terror will tick. I think it has been that way since always.

Nope. I have not the slightest idea who that is. Never heard or read that name before.

And yeah, like Rennoko said… I also thought this was always the case. Actually, I think I remember reading that a couple of times in different threads in the last uhm… 1-2 months.

I admit, I did.

and I laughed. :-)

good info

o_O Was this ever in question?

Terror does damage but I really miss Fear being an interrupt before Defiant.

I had forgotten all about those days when we were really well thought of in PVE for our ability to interrupt some bosses.

I wonder if INTERRUPT worked before that patch on players?

Professor Putricide’s actually. ^^

Fear never interrupted, it simply forced players and npcs to run away from you. The moment “interrupts” entered the daily, I tried to use fear. It did never interrupt. Which is in my opinion, just ridiculous. If you fear someone out of a heal, it is an interrupt. You stop healing, heal goes on a small cd, and you run away. How exactly does that differ from being smacked around, or flying through the air, or being dazed? I consider fear as an interrupt. It stops you in your tracks, and you do something else. That, in my world, is an interruption to my battle flow.

No, I actually read it in this voice :P

Fear was effectively an interrupt before “interrupt.” I could force a dungeon boss to face away from me (and the group.) Spectral Grasp used to yank the boss’ feet out from under him. That was nice, too. Between a Necromancer and a couple of Warriors all forcing the boss to flee into a corner, we could seriously control the fight. Therefore, Defiant was needed but they gave bosses too much of it so I rarely see Warriors run it anymore, relying instead on their own mobility skills.
