Guild Wars 2

Hi All, have a PvP question regarding the Necro’s fear

When the opponent is performing a stomp (on a downed teammate), why doesn’t my fear interrupt them out of it? It works in WvW, but in PvP, nothing happens.

Unless I am not paying attention and they have Stability casted (or are there other abilities from other classes that can withstand the fear)?

Another example is that Elite where the Guardian reads his stupid book and performs full heal. I did staff 5, nothing happened. Then DS 3. Still nothing. (Unless maybe they have a trait while channeling, etc. I don’t know enough abt other classes)

It’s stability. In sPvP people make sure to bring it along to help with stomps and revives. Fear can be blocked, too, I think. Same for the guardian book situation, he used stability on himself before casting the ability.

If you use Corrupt Boon, the stability will get corrupted into fear and it will interrupt the casting.

The stability icon looks like a tower, so watch for that before you cast fear.

Did not know Stability corrupts into Fear — that’s pretty sweet. Can save my 2 fears for another situation. I’d assume a spell like well of corruption would also turn stability in fear as well?

Thanks for the info!

It would, but stability is last in the corruption “order”. So if they have too many other boons on themselves it might not get converted in time. There is a list somewhere of what converts into what and in which order…<google search> found it!

1. The conversion of a boon always results in the boon being converted into its counterpart condition.
2. Every boon/condition has its own duration of 3/5/10 seconds, independent of the original’s duration
3. When you convert boons with the ‘Corrupt Boon’-Ability, you will always create a 3-stack of any stackable condition that results from the conversion.
4. When 2 different conditions convert into the same boon, it will not double this boon’s duration.
5. Converting a condition/boon converts all stacks of that condition/boon, but multiple stacks don’t increase the duration of the result.

Alright, here we go:

Conditions = become => Boons (thought has been given to ranking: first conditions will be converted first) ………- UPDATE -

1. Bleeding ….= becomes => 5 seconds of Regeneration or Vigor (Necromancer only)
2. Crippled …..= becomes => 5 seconds of Swiftness
3. Vulnerability = becomes => 3 seconds of Protection
4. Poison ……..= becomes => 5 seconds of Regeneration
5. Blind………. = becomes => 5 seconds of Fury
6. Weakness ..= becomes => 10 seconds of Might
7. Burning ……= becomes => 5 seconds of Regeneration or Aegis (Necromancer only)
8. Immobilized = becomes => 5 seconds of Swiftness
9. Chilled …….= becomes => 5 seconds of Swiftness
10. Confusion = becomes => 5 seconds of Regeneration
Fear ……………= did not => get converted in our tests!

He’s using corrupt boon which does them all at once.

This would only be relevant with well of corruption.
