Our raid was summoned into an unreleased (in beta) raid instance by 1 of the devs for feedback. It was a sad day to be an assassin. Every trash mob in there had either a 6-8s AoE stun, or a 4-6s fear. The fear would go off 3-5 times on average each pull, the stun about 3-4 times. As you can guess this was beyond annoying, since my concealment, and fatal follow up was getting raped.

I went from comfortably #1 in the previous instance, then during this instance bounced around #2-4. The thing is the stun and fear were only about 15-20 meters, so the rangers/casters could just sit back and safely nuke away. The melee on the other hand were left unable to DPS for about 15% of the fight.

/feedbacked, posted on the beta forums, and even talked to the Dev in vent about it. Hopefully this gets changed before live, since at this point I already dread going to that place.

Yeah I dread SoF just because Fear and Stifle is pretty annoying. It's like someone slapping the controller out of your hands when you are definitely not playing around.

But yeah saw it coming because of SoF. Hopefully not every Raid Instance has Fear/Stun/Stifle being that active and was just that zone.

Exactly. It's not going to wipe a raid, but it sure as hell will kill your dps, and fucking annoy the melee. I actually enjoyed EoF trash (minus TTR golems). You could work your concealment, and other attacks without constantly being interrupted. It was always a good time trying to see who parsed highest. Here, not so much.

Just say NO to stun/stifle on trash mobs.
