I dono if its just me, but i have disliked fear since it was implemented. I think its a cool concept, but it still has some issues in SoD. One of my biggest issues with it is that when feared you run through walls, and possibly into other mobs and/or prevent your group/raid from attacking whatever mob it is that you are attacking. Furthermore, I dont really hear of a lot of necro's/sk's that actually use the spell. I wouldnt complain if it was just removed, but I know a lot of work went into implementing it.

At the least, I wanted to bring up the issue of players detrimentally getting feared through walls.

Another suggestion I could make would be to have PC's not move when feared. Seems like it could be a quick and easy fix, possibly add a root component to fear or just eliminate the coding that makes them move?
 
Really it wouldn't be unrealistic for people to be feared and not run away. A lot of people get "paralyzed with fear" so it would make sense that fear could cause someone to not cast, attack, or run away.
 
Yea ! Lets make fear a super-powerful mez with no downside that completely shatters enc's in CC ability
 
Fear can make a man do crazy things.. like run thru walls?? well maybe not but i think that when fear was added it brought a little more difficulty to the game and should remain as is.

Apparently you've never been feared while standing on the stairs in highkeep... Gotta love pulling a wailing specter then watching as one of your groupmates ghosts from the stairs to the third floor up to the high priest, or down to pull about 20 mobs from the first floor.

Or being feared and having it wear off while you're in a wall. That's a fun one, too.

Fear in its current state is broken as hell. If there's not going to be complex pathing or some means of preventing PCs from going through the walls, it shouldn't make you run.

Shit, I could easily imagine it being exploitable - two pvp characters in a group. Fear one, invis him, and watch him skip a shitload of content. I dunno.

It's just broken.
 
yes i have been trained in hhk and cata due to fear.. so what. Its one of those things people must deal with an learn from, also wailing spectures are a frontal fear only. :cool:
 
FEar off dwarves in CC are ridiculous, They cast it every 10 seconds, and you are going to go through a wall guaranteed. Even LB orcs are able to land fear on me. Fear in it's current state is retarded.
 
when u fight fear mobs, just remember to put your char on Walk before u go, it will make u run less. =) just a tip.

I have seen it used a lot in kiting. I duo a lot with necros in WPL and EPL and fear kiting is pretty sweet. Don't forget the animal line of fear is also used by Druids and Rangers.

I am sure Fear can be tweaked, but I would not like to see it removed entirely
 
Those are outdoor zones, there isn't reallly an issue with fearing in outdoor zones, it's the indoor ones that are the problem.
