Guild Wars 2

Good points. For Taunt (which is sort of the flip side to Fear): “all skills except stun breakers disabled”. That’s from the wiki.

Fear should be similar, and not removable via condi clear.

I’m actually surprised Taunt isn’t a condition like Fear, to be honest.

Solid idea

and 15 characters

+1, this needs to be a thing.

I honestly didn’t know this was a thing, but now that you mention it I have seen a few warriors just shrug off my fears. +1, this in itself is a well needed QOL they could implement tomorrow and it would not even need a discussion IMO.

Dont all instant activation skills work while CCed? Ok weapon swap is not really a skill but it is instant…

Honestly i dont care ether way, it should just be consistent…

Wouldn’t making fear a CC effect only easier?

Would be a pretty big change to Fear, by making it not a condition it removes all condition-based play/counterplay. No condi duration increases with generic condi duration anymore for example.

+1, I also didn’t know this was a thing. Surprised this got passed through the QA & balance team (ok so I’m not really surprised). I support the OP.

i agree, but as a CC effect it also shouldn’t be so freely cleansable. The OP’s suggestion seems the best of both.

That it just one trait though I might be optimistic but maybe if fear was more “stable” our actual condition damage output could improve. Not disagreeing with the goal of the suggestion but weapon swap is instant just like attunements or DS I don’t really see it making into the game.
