    Fear Pissing you off? Try This

    So, i don't know if this counts as exploitable/good use of game mechanics but me and my group found a really nice way of avoiding fear (for PVE things do not know if this works on spiritmasters yet due to not knowing any, so if someone could try this that would be good)

    Basically we were doing the level 50 artifacts for something to do, and i don't know if any of you have tried them but they like to spam fear shriek, now this is pretty much all they spammed so we were getting pretty tired of the spam etc so tried to work our way around it. We found out if just before Fear Shriek is cast you start to glide, fear takes no effect you can just cancel the glide and carry on pounding away at the target. It takes a bit of practice but worked 100% of the time on these mobs.

    If someone who is a spiritmaster/knows one could test this in PVP that would be nice, even though i would undestand if you didn't actually want to do it incase it did work lol. Even so it makes Fear in PVE very easy to avoid.

    This works against most AoE Spells, including AoE heals from your own Cleric, I thought it was pretty well known.

    This seems pretty damn useful as a ranger... glide in so they blow their OP instant-fear shit then switch to flight, silence and rape.

    Well while you're gliding you're not attacking, so works out for me lol.

    Silence Arrow = Pot

    Bind, Silence, Shackle Ranger, Wing Root when he realizes "Oh fuck, I'm in deep shit" and then it's too late

    Fear is great and all, but at 50 SMs have so many control abilities that it's not as required as people think in a 1v1 situation against some classes. Also, Rangers do crap damage without buffs. I hope you have more than 6. >_>

    Does it only work on status AoE or dmg AoE too? nice trick for me as a sin when my AT and FE are down.
