Talk:Faintheartedness
I luv this skill. It is funny to throw on hammer warriors. It's like throwing Migraine on someone casting meteor shower....just more fun. And you can maintain it on 3 people at once :D.Psychiatric Consultant 23:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Its a baed skill (i mean bad for the game) Lilondra *poke* 12:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
When I go Necromancing, I take this or Enfeeble, sometimes even both!--ShadowFog 14:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Nerf[edit]
I think this one was a swing & foul. Faintheartedness is a very powerful skill at 15 curses simply because you can keep 3 meleers at 50% attack speed as long as you can withhold some energy, (Soul Reaping Lawl). The degeneration was never the problem, I think it needs a recharge or energy hit instead. Even then, it's not imbalanced for GvG so I wouldn't expect that, it's just a tad OP'd for scrub PvP (But a tad OP'd isn't all that bad too begin with.) PowerGamer 21:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
It has even been reported that some monsters can't cause degen with this skill because of the nerf = lol, amateurish update.--Wealedout 13:26, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Srsly, A-net needs to actually think about these skill nerfs. This nerf was not the best (its no-where near as broken as Palm Strike), and they nerfed it for both PvE and PvP. Now its retardedly useless in PvE, just like Power Shot and most other Pre-Searing skills. Srsly, I mean they don't balance around PvE (especially Pre-Searing), but it has to stop. Right now Prophecies sucks in PvP because every retarded gimmick is in Factions/Nightfall/EotN, and the most powerful skills are also in those chapters. In PvE content, it now sucks even worse than Factions (with its short as hell to lvl20 and then breeze through everything from then approach), because all your skills suck until after kryta. Wow, half my campaign is spent on casting a spell that causes 0 health degeneration for 3 seconds!!!! I <3 this game </sarcasm>. They should stop just nerfing everything in PvE. They made PvP/PvE splits for a reason, now use them!Crimmastermind 06:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- Can't agree with you more.--Itamar 21:02, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- You just hit that one head on. Prophesies just isn't fun anymore because of what they keep doing like that. 69.221.66.99 07:46, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Yet another watered down skill from ArenaNet Nerfs. If this carries on we'll end up casting Daisies, shooting Colourful Rainbows and spraying one another with the scent of Lavender. Oh and yes, all weapons will be replaced with ticklling sticks and feather dusters. I just wish ANet would leave alone, it's like every time you log on, you need to check to see if yours builds are still any good. Gwasshoppa.77.99.43.34 19:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Still Broken[edit]
Anet should really just make it elite and get it over with. Master Ketsu 16:17, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Heroes won't use it automatically[edit]
Set this as one of the curses on Olias and he wouldn't automatically use it, even when I disabled all his other spells. Same thing with Livia.
