EZ Server

First off, I hardly ever complain on the forums.
Second, I do like the fear stuff over the 30 second DTs.

One complain I do have is that some times I will get feared and fall off the island, or mobs will drop below the island because they are chasing after my feared warrior.  I do believe something else needs to happen instead of this fear stuff, not sure what, but something.  Does anyone else have an idea to still make it interesting but a little difficult at the same time?

Also a lazy half T5 warrior should not be getting feared as much as I do when fighting t3/t4/mcp.  Fix something please.

I've too had MCP fall thru the world lately during a fear session in PoAir, then it just turns into a ... wipe rezone.. Go Back to DT, and Rootz (or find something else fun because wiping cause of pulled thru floor isn't fun)

I usually just tank him with a paladin or sk. They have an aa to be immune to fear.

Yep. Warrior can tank, but have the pally hit scepter and/or DG a time or two.....that way when the warrior is feared the mob stays on the pally and doesnt chase the warrior.

Yup warpin underworld sucks. I just fight him with the paly. Same for shadow or other FEAR'ers.

I don't mind fear with Shadow cause I can clear the room Shadow is in and let my warrior run around while my pally tanks temporarily.

What happens if feared while rooted? I'm wondering if it forces you to stop tanking for a while but you don't run off the edge, this might be a solution?

Just a thought.

Lots of possible changes, just would require picking the right spells for it or maybe creating one.
Fear is bad, DT sucked too but would rather see this charm or mez or something.
Another fix would be to actually input pathing nodes for that island. If any of the fear casting boss "fly" just make sure to add some on the Z

i like the mez idea over charm. if they charmed, my warrior or monk would destroy my group. maybe make it a 1 min unresistable mez

1min is a long time for on tier players considering how hard stuff hits on this server.
If stuff was not able to hit tier equiv players for 50-80% of their hp per round then yeah you could have shit mez for 10 minutes.

This is why when people suggest stuff like that I cringe because Hunter has a great server but his NPC's are always way over powered at first and people have to suffer through that shit for a month or two until he balances it down.

Of course I wouldn't expect many that use the forums of late to understand, maybe the other players that have been here for a few years remember and understand what I am talking about.

Anyways, Mez is good and so is charm. The only question is what duration is fair and balanced OR what other ideas are there...

Just permaroot him and make him summon

+1 Griz

Maybe add a charm on the dt timer (90 sec I think)

Each tier I experiement with new ideas. I agree 1 min is a bit long for stuff.

Might swap out some things too, maybe charm instead of DT, etc.

I say leave it as is. 

For T3/T4, fight at the center of the island and you wont be feared off.

When fighting Shadow in HoH, clear around him before fighting if fear is a problem.

Not an ultimate solution, but I CoTH with a few seconds after it starts on my mage because I'm lazy and it takes like two seconds to restick from there.

False.
I've been feared off the island and chased to the zoneline. Thought the damn mob zoned as well but it was just lazy pathing back to the rest of my goons.

I may have to change the fear to a 1 tick (6 second) fear or change fear to something else.

One solution would be to snare yourself? lol

Just like dot'ing yourself with disease to break mez (pvp tactics necro vs enchanter).

FWIW, I hate DTs on EZ. Zoning twice takes me ~30-45s on a good day, depending on the size of the party, which zone, how many adds, etc. Add double loot and enjoy watching the warrior crash while zoning, or simply not make it back in time to grab aggro and eat the next DT.

aye DT =(

DT would probably be ok if you could implement that hover box like they have on live but if you actually have to zone thats rough.

MCP and all T4 would DT along with an assortment of other spells.. MCP was like a 90 sec cycle where others were around a 3? min cycle or so..

I did not mean to raise hell by any means at all.  Glad I was not the only person having problems.  Maybe a Mez on the main tank?  I think that would suck esp if it had to more than 1-2 toons.  But that is my thought.

I'd rather the fear stay than to add DT or Charm.

My warrior hasnt fell through yet since I started making sure to have boot buff on before the fight. No idea why this is, but its been working for me.

Also.....keeping a bit of agro on a knight during this fight makes a huge diff. SK/Pally cannot be feared.

As long as they have Fearless AA.
Dont just say the class is immune to fear because there are retards out there that will believe you and not buy the aa and then come QQ on forums about why they get feared.
If Fear was not full duration it wouldnt matter cause from the the center you cant path off if the damn thing doesnt last the full duration.

However there is still a small chance you will path to a XYZ loc that is higher on the z axis then you currently stand and then you fall through the island because you walked into the hill and fear wore off before you "pop" to the Z axis. Sucks but its funny at the same time.
