Fear in 1.11

[Rinnhart]

That is due to the cool down on the spells. There is diminishing returns on spells that where the effect lasts longer than the cooldown (Fear, Seduce, Frostshock, and others). Anytime the effect is shorter than atleast double the cooldown, there is no diminishing return from that player (this may extend to other players as well as I remember several times being ganged up on by a pair of rogues and never leaving stun until I was dead).

I didn't mean diminishing returns- those spells had the same mechanics for handling duration and break chance with players as with NPCs, meaning they usually lasted their full duration regardless of what was happening. Fear and Psychic scream haven't done that in a very long time, for good reason.
