Who said fear?

Is there a problem implementing fear / fear-like effects? Can and will it be implemented in the future?

I belive that fear is defining for some clases, (like necro) and helpfull for others like animal fear for druids and rangers.

There's been a lot of talk regarding fear, I believe. At the moment it can't be implemented because there isn't any pathing during / agfter pulls. Thus, a feared mob would run in a straight line away from you, most likely into a wall.

Some people have suggested stunning the mobs (instead of having them run away) but there are too many problems with that. There's a big difference between a mob stunned for 2 minutes and a mob pathing through a group of his buddies for a few minutes.

I did get the impression, however, that fear will be a possibility with the release of 0.5.0 and that's just another reason to look forward to it.
