Guild Wars 2

So I play Necro and recently I realized i was being Feared by THFs of all people, I don’t consider my self an expert thf by ant stretch but i didn’t think they could use FEAR.

Is this new?

This is my all-time favorite thing to do to Necromancers, especially near cliffs.

My second-favorite thing is to make their downed-state Fear whiff.

HA that’s just what THFs needed… Fear lol.

Yeah, I don’t understand why we can use our class mechanic to “take” something to help us in a fight. It should just steal gold from you instead.

i wouldnt mind a 5% chance at 1g

actually i think interceptor is onto something here. in gw1 we had special skills we could build up. maybe they could do that in this class
thieves could steal gold by working up the skill. takes a long time of course like gw1 asuran or norn skills etc. would put a new dynamic into game. w

It would also come with a new gold sink upon getting caught stealing; Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence!

mmm interesting. should be a separate f2 steal then. for money only. starts at 50 50. get caught u pay 50s-1g. get away with it you steal 50s-1g. 10m cooldown for pvp. 180s cooldown pve but less money.

that would be fun. everyone loves to gamble.

My favorite thing to do in Skyhammer: Find a necro, steal, run away, stealth, port up to Cannon, then fear the enemy controlling it off the cliff before they know what’s going on.

Yeah, nothing worse than a 2s cast that’s our only real CC (aside from the rather lackluster Basi Venom) that involves holding you hands above your head like you’re trying to hold up Simba and sing “The Circle of Life” before a large dark pulse moves out in a radius with a fear that doesn’t match the wiki description and can be stunbroken fairly easily since we have so few CCs.

Oh well guys and girls, get ready for steal nerf now

hahaha…really funny this question coming from a Necro.
As stated, each time a thief steals you will get a fear use, simple.

Ever play s/p with 30 in Trickery? So many stuns, daze, interrupts. Honestly when I see a small group of people I try to pick out either the Warrior or the Necro to steal from as they have great aoe abilities to steal. Necro fear is so much fun to use when people least expect it!

OP
The real sting is that he probably stole the fear from you in the first place.

Fear is not fun to fight against. Of all skills in the game, it is the one that I wish was removed entirely.

Um… why would THF need more CC!?

If all the daze/stuns you had were not enough in the first place (and they are) explain what you would use it for as a perma stealth class. IMO having the ability to restart a fight at will or escape almost any fight that’s not going your way far outweighs some extra CC.

My comment was really intended as sarcasm, IDC if THF gets access to a fear (it adds to the annoying) but overall its not broken or anything.

All the daze/stuns are centered in one setup. The other setups have acces to some daze, but it’s a weak attack so not used often. Permastealth is also centered in one setup.

That one fear is on a 26-35s cooldown and requires him to hit you with steal (can be dodged, blinded, blocked). It has a long cast time that can be interrupted which makes us lose the skill (we have to wait ’till cooldown is over, and re-steal it).
