[rant]...after 50 lvls of illusion controlling i cant think of many times when i felt an AOE fear power would be useful. i picked up ST only after trying it on test and seeing it hold foes with cowering.
it appears that no matter how many 'fixes' we go through, Spectral Terror was intended to be a fear power which causes foes to run away. run away and cower or run away and loose aggre or run away and attack doesnt matter to me. i dont like "run away" powers.
i have yet to see any effective strategy by a high level illusion controller that involved getting the foes to run away. can someone here give me a scenarion where they want this??
pre-attack strategies may be:
"ok 1st the controller will send in the PA and debuff"
"ok 1st the controller will buff us with group inviso"
"ok 1st the controller will go in and get the mob to scatter??"(huh)
i have never seen this power be useful (after 1/18) and i would never suggest a illusion controller take or use it. in short it sux IMHO and should be removed completely(not 'fixed') in favor of another AOE hold
its just a shame that i hafta waste ANOTHER respec just to get rid of this useless nonsense of a power that i should never have taken to begin with...[/rant]
