How bad did they nerf Intimidation and when did they nerf it? I soloed as a rogue up to level 49 back in 2013 and it wasn't bad occasionally there was a little downtime after a bad fight but it was doable and certain camps were actually really good solo and easy to hold onto.

Instill Doubt was basically a useless skill during classic due to how unreliable it was.

Here it was FAR too easy to fear mobs using that skill, and as a result many monks, Warriors and rogues soloed very easily.

The poster above talking about fearing mobs in LGuk then invising and bind wounding while the mob ran away feared, comes back and somehow doesn't bring a train is down right criminal. Invis pulling, and broken sneak pulling/instill doubt made leveling way too easy in many scenarios.

It's also no longer instant, only activating after the animation. Previously you could avoid the mob until it came off cool down then take a round of combat to try and get an intimidate off and keep on moving. Maybe oh still can but timing the animation is hard, and I'm not sure if you have to be in range of the target to start it.

The kick has to land, so I'd say yes.

Made it from 1-60 solo as a rogue when red was low pop. I can say it was a very unpleasant experience though.
