Fear in 1.11

[Lissa]

Experimentation over the last week with Fear in PvE seems to indicate that Fear breaks a lot higher than 1500 DPS. Either that or the game is calculating the damage involved by dividing the damage the spell does by the time it takes to cast. I saw a number of times where I was running with Fel Stamina (Sacced VW through Demonic Sacrifice for 3% health returned every tick) where I would have Immolate, Corruption, Curse of Agony and fear a mob and then hit it with a Shadowbolt that would do around 1k damage and see 2 of the 3 DoTs tick at the same time the SB landed and not have fear break (this was definitely over 1.5k threshold if PvE is 3 times PvP). Fear also seemed to not break quite as often although the pRNG did get nasty on a number of occassions (Fear and a DoT at the same time cancelled several fears immediately).

For Testing purposes, I was farming Twilights (close to 20 Robes and 20 shoulders and only like 6 cowls to show for it... :x) and bugs in the Ashi Hive.
