I had to reply to this: battle rage ends if you use any non-attack skill. Even though fear me is under shouts, it still counts as a skill... So you use battle rage, then fear me... then you're back to square one.

Idk if anyone pointed this out... but I just had to.

I'm not whining, I'm just pointing out fact.

According to that iQ guy it's 39 which is the same as a well.

BTW I saw you guys winning the HoH today, thought you guys didn't PvP.

Anybody else see a circular argument here??
Every skill have a counter, and different skills work better with different builds.
Enough said, I used to think x skill was naff, but then again now I think amount x skill would be ace if I used it in y build.
Fear me in a warrior mez build can be awesome, and due to the design of guild wars there will be and is a counter.

Most arguements are pointless, or circular as you would like to put it. Which means, most threads lead to endless "hostile debate" or flaming.

Anyway, IMO Fear Me is not underpowered if you know how to use it. Fear Me x 2 with Echo = OMG LOL! But echoing Signet of Weariness proves to be better IMO.

I think the problem is quite obvious.

If they were to have made it "ph34r me!" instead.. no one would be complaining because it would have to be much stronger to live up to a cool name like that.

You sure about the range?
I dont think its ward range..

(this is one of the questions, i could easlily answer myself with a 1on1 arena, without any hassle)

I've stood at the edge of an altar, and been drained by a Fear Me guy in the center of the altar. So the range is definitely not adjacent.

Thanks for clearing that up. I vaguely remember it being "nearby" in the description, I was wondering if Anet stealth nerfed it.

Nope, you're the first to point this out, which goes to show that some just don't know what they're talking about. So thank you! This helps reinforce my suggestion about "Fear Me!".

Also, I like to say to Eonwe that he/she hasn't contributed any real constructive suggestion, yet. There's another forum for pointless criticism...go complain there.

"Fear Me!", like all shouts, has the same AoE as a Ward.

It's an outstanding energy debilitation skill and a staple of PvP Sword / Axe warriors.

iQ still PvPs regularly. We've simply been more interested in testing 1v1 builds than tombs builds lately, which puts us at a distinct disadvantage on some of the tombs maps.

I'm still amused by the messages of 'is iQ back?' after every single one of our Hall wins. I don't think we've gone a week without taking it at least once.

Peace,

Johnny you do realize everyone in this thread has said you're purely and 100% wrong right? Stop bumping this please.

Telling Ensign hes wrong is just thread suicide, Ensign is never wrong, no joke.

Unlike other forums, Guild Wars Guru strives to maintain the highest quality of posting content. As such, threads that this one, despite their comedic value, must be closed for the blatant misinformation contained within. I hope you have enjoyed your laughs at the OPs expense, but it's time for this to die.

Peace,
