New Fear

Post by Lisette » Sat Mar 25, 2023 6:51 pm

Am I really just that unlucky to have it proc on 2/5 flees, or is something not working as intended with the new fear failed flees mechanic? The post said it was a single digit % chance. Failing flees due to normal fails or norides is already frustrating enough, did we need a new way to fail flees?

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering

When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
wave your arms and shout!

Three times you will face your fears, once for what was, once for what is, and once for what will be. The way back will come but once, be steadfast.

Red vials are pretty abundant. Failing flees is a pain but not being able to engage, bash, or have combat rounds was worse.

Failing flees is brutal, especially for a glass canon chaneller. However, I agree with Langois. The old fear was worse. I am terrible at pk, I admit that. However, the fighting stabbers or chargers with the old fear was terrifying.
