I keep getting feared through it, I get stunned through and I get knockdowned through it...

There's no stability to my stability at all...
Just another bug in the long line of Ele-bugs?

And to clarify, I've played alot, at first I thought that 'hey I'm missing' something.
But nope, always the same, I activate stability and a second later I'm cc'd anyho.

I was complaining about this last night on both my ele and my warrior.  Something seemed wrong!

I would down a necro, start my stomp and pop my stability (Armor of earth on ele,/Balanced stance on warrior) and i'd still get feared before my stomp finished.

I didnt record the match so i dont have any video to review but i'm definitely going to start recording again so that i can see what the heck is going on.  The best i can think of is that maybe necros can trait to have a certain well dropped when they are downed, and that well will corrupt boons or something.  I intend on looking through necro traits later today to see wtf is up.

It's could be a glitch. Odd enough, this does happen to me sometimes.. but not most of the time? Maybe we're triggering AoE goofy or something.. idk. Again, this only happens to me here or there, and I'm not sure why (usually just leaves me baffled mid-fight).

Maybe it's something as simple as us getting ripped and not realizing it or something.

- I want that purple stuff.

I don't think stability has ever properly provided immunity to fear, it only seems to remove fear if you pop it.

Well the in game description line (link to the wiki in Mekkakat's post) does indicate that it was intended to prevent fear.

I'll admit that for some reason I never noticed this myself, despite playing some Ele in PvP. I'll try to run AoE in the build and pay attention to what happens on the boon display when planting a flag on a necro.

Fear is a condition not a control effect, per the wiki, so it should go through stability.  I guess that also means you can cleanse it though.

Are you guys sure you're not getting Corrupt Boon or Well of Corruption used on you? As a Necromancer, I definitely cannot Fear through Stability.

Stability makes you immune to fear, it would be a bug if you're feared while you have it up (except corrupt boon, etc). It doesn't remove fear, a lot of skills (like stand your ground) will stun break as well as apply stability.
