Curse Fear

[InspectorX]

I want to know how the skill Curse Fear works. I know that in Interlude Curse Fear can now affect players.

Can anybody describe how much time this skill remains on target and all its functions?

Thanx

Actually, four days ago I was tilling a friend ingame about how important Curse Fear is.

As a necromancer, I think the skill is level 14 for me and it always land when I use it. I don't use it much in pvp/pk because I have many skills more important. But if things are getting bad and im about to die, it will be my number choise. Hit the target with Curse Fear and then use a SOE. It will not always land on other players since it depindes on your enemy magic defense, but it always lands on Mobs.

When I have 3-10 mobs on me and suddenly I see an enemy coming in my direction, I use Mass Fear to send away all the mobs around me so I can concentrate on my attacker.

I think it stays for 5-15 seconds depinding on what server your playing on and the character your facing "his\her magic defense".

Are you sure that the effect of debuffs depends on M.def?

I have searched and I have found that it depends on MEN. I think M.def is only for magic defense against attacks from another mages.

Take a look:

INT
Increases damage of magic attacks and success rate of curse spells.

MEN(to resist debuffs etc)
Increases magic defense, maximum MP, MP recovery speed, poison resistance, and curse resistance. Decreases probability of magic interruption.

My main doubt is: how this skill works when it lands on player? Do you know how it works on oficial server?

All (nono-physical)debuffs are mattack/mdef dependent, a +MEN dye meerely increases your curse resistance on top. When the skill lands on a player, the player runs uncontrolably, similar to the effects of heroic dread (if you have ever experienced it >.>). having not played official to the levels where fear becomes effective, i cannot comment, but, if you are playing a L2J server, just spam skills and the fear effect will not work.

Will effect of curse goes away if I attack the target???

[Anjie]

What i mean is, if you are feared, and then you use a skill (on a L2J server), you will use the skill reguardless, at least, this is what i have found. If you are referring to earing someone than attacking them and canceling the fear (like sleep), then no.

I don't think so, you will have to wait until it wears off. The best thing I do is try to SIT when it land's on me. This way I won't run like an idiot in a random direction. " Not good to run around randomly if your in an area full of aggresive mobs :( "

Actualy Anjie, on the mob gamers server "L2J", if you get feared, you can't use any skills at all or do anything at all. You will just keep running !

This is also something new to me because before that, we used to be able to attack/buff when feared. I think the skill has changed now and we are getting old lol

[Anjie]

sitting is all well and good......until someone hits you and the whole run thing starts again >.<
