Infernal and Doomguard in Patch 1.5

[KiloVictor]

Killed 3 Hederine slayers in about half an hour last night.  Chain feared them each for 5 minutes straight with multiple Curse of Dooms.

That's probably a more efficient way to kill them than I used, but I didn't want to deal with fear breaking constantly, so I used my curse slot for Curse of Shadows and dotted them to death. With Nightfall procs for shadowbolts, it worked pretty well. I found that circle strafing was a requirement to keep the mob at or near max range so I could get fear off in time after renewing dots.

Total Tears of the Hederine found: Zero. BLizzard hate us.

Doubly true -- I think the drop rate is around 10%, which is bad enough. Worse is that they seem to have broken the fear dynamic with the 1.5 patch. Previously, if you feared a mob that was inbound for you, they'd start moving off immediately. Post-patch, it seems that they continue pathing to you after fear lands, *then* run off in some random direction. But if you get unlucky and fear breaks quickly, they're standing right there on top of you with that bloody great sword. :(
