IR not cleansing Fear (a condition)
Does it remove fear or not?
Some person tried explaining to me how IR removes fear since it’s a condition. But it has never cleared fear for me personally which is why I’m skeptical to believe him.
Well considering you can’t use IR when CC’d anymore and fear is definitely a disable ability, you wouldn’t be able to clear it whether it counts as a condition or not. When it was instant cast I don’t think sword cleared it. I believe stability stops it too (but necros are probably using corrupt boon on you when you pop your elite anyway). Shadow return is also a stunbreak which cancels out control effects.
As if thieves needed a harder time with necros
You are not supposed to use sword in PvP since 10 dec. Please use another main hand weapon, so we can enter the paradise of build diversity.
PS: Tbh, I don’t know if IR can be nerfed any further. The only possible next nerf would be removing this ability, but some people would consider it a buff.
This is a game and playing a class, in this case thief, should be funny and enjoyable. Devs are doing everything in their power to make the class frustrating.
the instant IR did remove fear. the new cant due to casttime.

It doesn’t but it should. Regardless of the cast time, if I’m affected by Fear and its the only condition on me IR should cleanse it, and the cast time should ignore it.

The sad part is that many necros said before the patch that S/D thieves had caused them to be a practically inviable class.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking.
You can’t stomp with it anymore either. This wasn’t just a nerf to mobility, it was a nerf to utility and survivability through non-instant condi removal.
didn’t move.
