Quote:Is it just Fear? What about Howl of Terror, Psychic Scream, and Intimidating Shout? Death Coil's horror effect is getting a change too, is it not?Those first three are classified as "fears". Ie anti-fear trinkets can break them. I think Death Coil was made different because it's one sure-fire way for warlocks to get something off of them.
Quote:Fear is, I think, more abused in its current form than priests' or warriors' fears since Psychic Scream has a cooldown so it can't be used to keep a target feared indefinitely and warriors can't heap on ranged damage while their target(s) are feared.It probably matters more in BGs where you'll often see 2-3 AOE fears in a fight. As a MS warrior (not undead), if I'm in the wrong stance when a fear goes off, I will often spend the next 15 seconds running around feared -- and I may die before it breaks.
