Lightning Shock: Working Properly?

Post by Spellbinder »

Just thought I'd bring this up since I finally got this skill to try out. At times when using this skill, monsters are clearly still attacking my team mates while the Fear status effect is in play. Is this perhaps lag, perception on my part, or maybe something more to Fear that I don't know yet?

I just got this skill too.
Don't forget....it only works 80% of the time.
They also have the ability to resist it (since it does not work 20% of the time). When casted, it would show on that monster "Resist," and then the monster will attack you cause you casted the spell.
It works good though.

Fear only stops mobs from attacking the person that cast it on them, not the people around him. If you fear something, it won't move, but if something attacks it, it will fight back. Great for aggro management.

Also... Fear doesn't seem to work on bosses. =P

A mob will still move with fear status.

You can move in fear status, but you can't attack anything. I think.

Yes you can move, but you can still attack. You just can't attack whatever gave you fear status.
