Back under your bridge, troll.

Dedrigion scrubs fail and cry about everything .

Hey i join in team without any healer and its all great , just return back to grinding !

[Poem]

SM is a really well balanced class. It is OP if well-played but easily countered. There are a lot of bad SMs also. Bring a cleric and don't stand within 15m of each other.

[Theory]

Your clerics are failing at positioning themselves if they are getting feared at all ever. It's maybe excusable if it's their first pvp game, but anyone worth their salt should know that they need to be on the other side of their group from the other team, not in the middle of their group where they are within range of the opponent casters.

[BrutalSBK]

True is id say 90% of ppls dont know what skills beside theirs do, how they trigger and what skills are capable of.

Ppls group rush get feared and cry about it, while most of them got range classes in group that also get feared, why cuz they rush all at once.

First of all you need learn all skills in game to be capable avoid them, or counter it, dont just cry about one thing that own you, when you have no clue how skills work at all!

[Soulstice]

Dam nother epic thread. Try putting on some resist gear or have your cleric cleanse the spell. In pvp if your cleric in front you deserve what you get. Gotta love those DPS clerics.

Oh noes I would do less damage if I used some resist gear and I do not want to do that. Hmm... let me come here and cry a river of tears. Funny how the game is out in other countries and they seem to know how to overcome it.

Instead of heading to the healers, take out the SM or Sorc life is alot easier that way. Get your cleric to cleanse, oh or novel Idea take a SM. Oh seeing how they are not apart of the holy trinity you prefer not to bring one, I forgot.

Fear is here to stay, sorry. Instead of complaining try working out a strategy to overcome it. Smart players do that you know.

The NCSoft crew is absolutely insane if they think an un-breakable chain-castable fear with no diminishing returns is going to be even remotely acceptable in a competetive pvp game.

Lol, and just haven't seeing their spirit substitution skill? lol

One again and follow me close - THIS IS NOT A 1v1 BASED GAME - it's a group based game.

Next off fear is easily dispellable by a cleric - as a templar you shoud should have already learned to start grouping with one. Also, 90% of the SM's dmg is also dispellable by a cleric. So, you have two options now - Have a cleric dispell fear or CC the SM and don't worry about it.

Third , Please stop being bad and realize that if SM's were so OP then why in CAion are they the least played and lowest ranking class?

This is why I hate 3/4 of the NA playerbase. Anything that isn't instant gratification and requires any type of thought to counter is obviously to hard and must be OP. I mean wasn't it bad enough already they had to make this game easier for NA release?



P.S. BTW the 1v1 Tourney in CAion was won by a templar so obviously you must be OP!!???!! :P So quite frankly you must just be horrible so please stop posting.

have my babies

I've run into plenty of Elyos and I would say Fear becomes an I-WIN button 75% of the time. The other 25% of the time the players know what they are doing and quickly chain CC me and burst me down. If my Fear broke on damage I would have no chance of killing anyone. A SM's damage takes time and the Fear is there to give them that time. If you are finding it is suck and issue why don't you think of ways to avoid it?

CC the SM with stuns, silence, tree/sleep.
Dispel the fear.
Stack magic resist and resist the fear.
Stop trying to 1v1 the strongest 1v1 class in the game.

The problem you may be grappling with is everything in Aion takes a longer amount of time than what you are used to. There is no two shotting (sure there are exceptions, see Sorc DP ability) so a battle takes a fair amount of time. Take it slow, keep the SM locked down, and you'll eventually win. Nerfing the ability is not the answer. And imagine SMs want their DoTs to stack. Maybe you could head over to the SM forums and share your QQ so they stop cutting themselves over sucking so bad.

Get some magic resist gear and stop crying . . . its not like devs gona do anything about something you think is "OP" just becouse your crying about it.

Its simple you want to counter mages go magic resist ,melle go normal def . . .its not like you can have it all

And ye since Spiritmaster is a dot class i just cant see fear braking on dmg . . .it would be totaly usless then ( considering its worse then sorc ccs in terms of catching the target ).

I wouldynt mind if it wouldynt brake on dots but would brake on spike dmg ( we could land 1 w.spirit then )

Ah and btw you will agro mobs anyway even if fear would brake on dmg . . .nobody would hit ya

Instead we have no chance of killing the SM but you are totally fine with that right? Hey aslong as its in YOUR favor its all peachy.
Dispel the fear.

Yeah that stun will last all of 2 seconds, so much for counter cc. You forget that your class is the only one with permanent cc.
Dispel? Sure if your a cleric and isnt the one getting feared.
Stack magic resist? Dont be ridicilous. This might be semi viable for one or two classes and the odds will still be huge that the fear will land.
Stop trying to 1v1 the strongest 1v1 class in the game. Yeah right, like we have a choice in the matter ones we get feared.

Actually fear has an inherently high resist rate. And people do stack MR at endgame, even by default because so much of it ends up on gear.

Also if you can fly or get height on an SM it helps. Don't try to run away from one. It's like trying to run away from a ranger. As soon as someone runs I know I have a free kill.

[Seric]

Stop whining about fear and start stacking mage resisitance. D: Without fear, we'd be completely gimp. Try rolling a SM and getting anywhere without fear and then come back before you start saying it should be nerfed. I'm tired of hearing that Clerics are OP, that Templars are OP, that Sorcs are OP, that SMs are OP, and that Assassins are OP, and that Rangers are OP. Sadly no one is whining that Glads are OP but I'm pretty sure that someone has already. Really, seriously, come on.
