Fear (12)
10 Mana
25 meter range
Casting Time: 1.5 seconds
Strikes fear to the heart of the target, causing them to run in fear for up to 10 seconds. Damage caused will break the effect. Fear can only affect 1 target at a time.
Warlock spell.This makes me happy, though I must say any fear that has a 100% chance to break on any damage is uber lame..
Why do you say that? Its similar to any crowd control form? Its a great form of crowd control. If they are feared the wrong direction, about to aggro mobs, their turn to die, etc you can just do damage and the CC breaks. To me that is good crowd control.Originally Posted by BadVox

Warlock spell.
Sure, its not your normal fear and nuke spell, but if you look at the soul tree and see how many possibilities/chances there are for a warlock to stun the target, having a fear that doesn't break on damage could be like a caster stunlocking you.
I agree that Fear should break on dmg, just not 100% and not for a DoT class.....it almost renders the fear useless. And for leveling it definantly sucks cause fear kiting cant be done if fear breaks on any damage. I think that 50% chance would be good enough.
Just like any DoT and CC, it's about timing and strategy.
To bring a famous raid quote, "DONT DoT the CC'd mob!!!!!!!"
In EQ2, you can't CC in raid as they're immune.
But it is interesting to see the warlock having a fear... I wonder what other classes have it?
Reaver's have an 8 second fear as well.In EQ2, you can't CC in raid as they're immune

always loved the fear skill. i hope the lock is the toon that has it seeing thats the toon ill be playing =)
I hope the bard equivalent get's one, it has always been one of those buttons I love.
Aye, locks have fear.
Huh You Feared yourself`? LOL!!!
You need people like me. so you can point your finger and say. Hey thats the bad guy!!
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I'd rather have another dps button or another buff button than a fear.
Instead of getting upset that the FEAR breaks on damage. Which in my opinion is quite realistic. Think about it, if you were frozen in fear or running away in fear then something physically harmed you, your attention would then be immediately diverted to the injury bringing you back to reality, giving you a clear head to react to the situation at hand. Even though your initial reaction might be continuing to run away.
This fear is for CC purposes. Think of new ways to use it to your advantage, instead of wanting an I win button because "I feared you and nuked the clothes off of you!"
I think fear breaking on damage is great, this makes it more of a cc ability that you need to watch where the mobs goes so he does not bring back friends. Nothing sucks more in pvp than classes that can fear or stun lock basically making you sit and watch the fight instead of playing.
Fear was the best in VG. You could fear a single mob in APW and wipe your entire raid. Good times.
Fear has its uses for PVE but it should be very limited in PVP.
