Rogue posions

[Misfitz138]

Heard they were broken, is this still true? Wanting to max out the skill, but not for nothing

[Sheriff]

Nope they work

[Rhambuk]

it works but still very very rarely worth it.

Snare poisons help me fear kite with intimidate in LGuk. Seems very useful there.

pretty sure mobs run at snared speed when intimidated if they are snared or not.

give this nerd a cookie ;)

[Cecily]

Pretty sure they.. no. No they dont. Worst thread.

[Sheriff]

It seems to stack for me which helps fear kiting in a dungeon. I play red which means whatever I say is different in strategy then my bluebird friend Cecily.

[Rhambuk]

intimidate is so unclassic here. Enjoy it rogues!

Haven't really played since the xp debacle on red. The patch notes say that it's now more classic, what does that mean?

[Rhambuk]

havent played rogue in a while but on live rogues got instill doubt monks got intimidation.

with instill doubt rogues were unable to backstab fleeing mobs, it just didn't work. Rogues should have instill doubt here and not the intimidation version that allows for backstabs.

This is a little right and a little wrong. All the same, our fear is really nice here and it sure would suck if too much conversation on the subject got it changed.

I'm not replying to you. Sorry for the confusion, please don't hurt me.

Feared mobs do NOT run at snared speed.

[williestargell]

Think its too late, didnt they make it more classic last patch?

hush hush, I've been quiet for years i shant be silenced any longer!

Backstab and Instill Doubt were on the same timer. If you used backstab as a free hit, ID would autofail (backstab wouldnt grey it out, it just failed). Classic rogue fear: You did all the scary theatrics you do here, only they were followed by a kick (which could hit or miss) and THEN a fear check on a successful hit. Process took about 2-3 seconds, not the instant and amazing thing we have here. There that feels good to get out.

You absolutely could backstab with the fear effect active though. It was kinda the whole point.

I missed the recent patch notes, so I'm quite excited to test it out the "more classic version."

[Rhambuk]

I just remember it sucking

[Cecily]

It used to save my butt every now and then on hill giants. But yes it sucked!

[Cecily]

Well done Haynar! I've only used it a couple times, but it feels just like classic.

[Lamil]

Agreed it seems right now. Always waiting for that kick animation before they go running off.

[Lyrith]

So is it better or worse now for a rogue to use?

[Cecily]

The skill is much less overpowered now, and has a higher probability of failing. Still works ok though. It's good and bad, but my rogues can kick things now and that makes me happy.

Intimidate doesn't attempt to apply till the end of the animation. in addition, snare effect should be gone.

[Ugrask]

I find the change to be a minor annoyance, I just end up taking more hits now waiting for the animation to go off. Then constant failure until the mob is at 20% and about to run anyway(max skill for level)...and in regards to snare, I just duo with my buddies ranger, evens out.
