how do you survive fearscape?
the same elite sent me there twice and I wasted two lives. Is there anyway to avoid the fire damagE? I saw something about a dispell?

Re: how do you survive fearscape?
The way to survive fearscape is typically to get out of it as quickly as possible. You're locked in a tiny room with a high spike damage enemy and are taking damage over time while your enemy is (probably) healing.
Fearscape is a magical sustain that shuts off if the user dies or runs out of Vim. The most common method, and the most generally accessible, is to kill the user - Rush if you're melee, use your crowd control, then blast with your highest damage abilities until it dies. If you're antimagic, Mana Clash will burn away a bunch of vim and likely end the effect. If you have a decent spellpower, gloves of dispersion will remove magical effects from the target, so they're worth hanging onto. Some classes (archmages, corruptors) innately have talents that will turn off magical effects on the target. Non-arcane melee characters might be able to use a manaburning weapon or a weapon with an on-hit chance to remove a magical buff from the target to end the fearscape, but those are antimagic egos and you have to actually hit them.
If you have good regens, it's sometimes possible to hide behind the terrain, heal the fire damage, and wait for Fearscape's natural vim drain to run the opponent out of vim, but that is difficult and time consuming. Don't get hit by Drain if you're trying to do this.

<Ferret> The Spellblaze was like a nuclear disaster apparently: ammo became the "real" currency.
Re: how do you survive fearscape?
i was level 18 dwarf warden and the boss mob had 3200 hitpoints. it was utterly impossible to survive. i went back to fight the mob against who sent me there (I am just learning the game). got sent again and died again. if i survive fearscape once, can i be sent back again?
can you resist fearscape spell? if so what save resists it?
if i have really high spell save and fire resistance can i cut down the damage?
a level 18 is not going to have the stuff your saying.

Re: how do you survive fearscape?
Well, I haven't played Dwarf Wardens myself, but from what I hear they have a somewhat weak early game. If the boss had that amount of hitpoints, he probably came from a vault. Those can be very dangerous, there is a reason you get a pop-up asking if you really want to open the door. (That said, 3200 hp still sounds extreme, more details would be helpful).youtoo wrote:i was level 18 dwarf warden and the boss mob had 3200 hitpoints. it was utterly impossible to survive. i went back to fight the mob against who sent me there (I am just learning the game). got sent again and died again. if i survive fearscape once, can i be sent back again?

Generally it's possible to run across stuff you cannot defeat; in those cases escape is something you should learn to consider early. One of the nice things with adventurer mode is that you cab usually ask the Eidolon to return you to the surface instead of back to the fight.
Ghoul never existed, this never happened!
Re: how do you survive fearscape?
Fearscape is really just a pretty life siphon damage over time. The damage and healing are fairly minor. You can just wait it out just like you do with a ghoul disease.
There are three artifact weapons that give you the demon flag and any of them will make the fearscape heal you instead of harm you.
It ends as soon as the caster dies or runs out of vim. Do stone wardens get the fungus tree? What is your healing like? My guess would be that you just found an out of depth mob you should have run from rather then engaging and that you are light on healing.

Re: how do you survive fearscape?
That's a lot of HP for a corruptor. Was this the Grand Corruptor? If so he's an optional static boss that you may have to leave until later. My own stone wardens usually beat him by just healing till his vim runs out or poking him with the rune of hte rift (any 'time travel' crowd control like that ends fearscape at the end). He hits like a truck outside of the fearscape too, so if you don't have the damage and heals to win inside you may not outside.
Alternatively when he outlevels me i kite him somewhat with vines, as they have longer range than the fearscape he desperately wants to open the fight with (8 vs 6), while crystal pets pepper him.
Non boss mobs who fearscape are typically killable rather easily - at least half the time fearscape is to your benefit as it takes adds or other nearby rares/elites out of the equation.
