Just a quick question if anyone is able to use this in spvp currently because I just can’t make my wolf use fear when I’m downed anymore, at all, he flat out refuses to use it in spvp but it still works fine in 3W so I’m wondering if this is intentional or a bug?

I don’t do a whole lot of spvp or keep up with news on it much so it might have been announced somewhere and I just missed it if so pardon my ignorance.

Cheers!

I got it to work fine. Just remember pet cooldowns are retained after swaps. In other words, you may have casted it earlier than 45s ago and therefore it is on cd when u swap to it.

This, you could also take the Commanding Voice, trait in the BM tree and have the CD on F2s reduced by 10%, it’s not much granted…. But it’s certainly made the difference in a few fights I’ve been in!!

No it’s 100% not that it’s on CD he just doesn’t do it when downed and it’s only in spvp.

Another thing that has me wondering is the downed interupt ability it’s now also failed me dozens upon dozens of times the past couple of days and I have looked carefully if they had stability wich I can be certain they didn’t in most cases, sure I could have missed it a few times but hardly every single time I’m wondering if there are other abilities that could prevent the interupt, any you know?

It’s almost as if I’m lagging on just specific abilities and not on anything else as stupid as that sounds.

I don’t know worth asking about I reckon…

Well i was playing around with my wolf last night (1am USA Central time), and was getting the fear off with no issues.

Are you sure you’re not double tapping F2? That tends to interrupt the fears cast for some stupid reason…

As for the downed interrupt there’s more than just stability that makes them not affected by it, i know Distortion will, mist form, etc etc.

Yeah I figured as much on the interupt, the wolf fear though is annoying the heck out of me I have single tapped, double tapped to maniacally spammed it and he just does not do it for atleast several days now, very annoying.

Huh… did you recently swap him? Like is he actually in the process of attacking the enemy? Or is he doing one of those common (unfortunately and stupidly) “You don’t have enough badges to control me!!” moments and just stands there staring into the distance.

All of the above I’d say but more times than not it’s when he is newly summoned and atleast outside of spvp he will then instantly use the fear if I command him to but he refuses to do it in spvp I can recall everything from running away into the distance to just standing there like an idiot.

Anyways just wondered if it was just me or someone else had this problem too, I’ll keep playing perhaps I can figure it out, it’s not like wolf is the only option either I just really like him for this in particular.

You gotta have the pet on passive for the swap+Fear to work, otherwise the wolf will attempt his knockdown first and delay the F2 skill, getting you killed.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah there’s your problem, canines ( i haven’t had the issue with ANY OTHER PET) when swapped in sPvP will often times just stand there and be like, “Oh what? You need something? Let me just ponder the meaning of life first…”

There are so many abilities that can prevent that interrupt it’s nigh-impossible to know why it failed – for example ranger’s shared anguish always confuses ppl, other classes have similar stuff, hard to know them all, almost impossible to know if they’re running them etc.

As for wolf fear, yeah it’s a mess, i think it works best if you have no target or target someone close to the body before casting.

Jeez guys its not an interrupt, OP is not kitten I tried this too, you can test it on dummy NPCs, when you get downed, your pet will disregard EVERYTHING you tell him to for 2 seconds. Sometimes the wolf won’t fear because he decided to walk.

I’ll repeat, the wolf is the only pet I have this issue on, my Hyenas remain loyal when I get downed, by wolf just goes, “Lawlz get up noob!”

I’ve also found my black Moa, fern hound, spiders, lash tail devourer and Beary Bearington all remain loyal while downed.

Just my wolf an drake hound decide they’re too cool to listen now that their masters on the floor, but even then it’s not 100%.

PS: I HAVE NOT TESTED ALL PET JUST THE ONES LISTED!

Then as soon as you’re down, switch your pet and tell him to attack right away. Spam that f1 and see if he attacks. The wolf is the only one that has trouble with f2.

Even when I am up running around and dodging, I sometimes can’t get my wolves to use their f2 (although if you stand there wait for the wolf to stop moving, wait for a second, and then press the button, all this while some other player is beating the kitten out of you, then they will use it). Tend to never have this problem with any other pet (and it’s a problem that has been around for a while).

I do know that you should be able to use it in the downed state; although, it kind of depends on if you switch to a pet troll or not.
