Changes to Fear?

[Ualaa]

My staggered Tremors were fine, against the big dinosaur boss in Drak'Tharon Keep today.
With three shammies, fear lasts up to a second, but is usually shorter.

The Berserkers (what used to be the daily dungeon quest mobs) aoe fear, but they are undead, stunnable, and it has a short casting time. It has a respectable range.

I have had them fear into the last big pack before the boss and then feared into the abomination. The abomination is clearly there just for poor sods that get feared. Getting feared by the last trio into the King just sucks.

They do random cast the spell, so they can chain fear. But seriously, just stun/kill them.

Pinnacle has fear, the undead melee's before the King,

Best way to deal with this is to stagger tremors so they remove fear every 1 second or less.

i dont usually have a problem with these but i tend to target melee first, usually 2 per pack. stun one, nuke the other.

no probs!

casts:Terrifies all enemies in front of the caster, causing them to flee in fear for 4 sec.

Math:
If you pull 1 pack with 2 mobs that fear, you don't get a lot of fears. If you pull 2-3 packs at a time with up to 6 mobs that fear you get feared a lot. Makes sense?

I don't think they would change something like that if you look at all the nerfs to the Heroics they did.

I beleive the berserkers in UP use a "horror" effect, not fear - so tremors don't work.

ANd ya, I've ya that fear throw my toons three rooms away... bloody aweful.

Yeah i will find out next time I run it. Just to be straight I run a 5k+ GS crew and have consitantly for months pulled 6 to 12 mobs at a time in Heroics and just AOEd them down. This is why I was so surprised when this group of 3 just kept rolling me over and over again.

They quite literally feared as soon as I started to aggro and then just feared over and over again. It is that pack of three at the bottom of the stairs after Skadi. It could have just been a bad day with RNG or maybe they tweaked something.

I don't have any stuns.

I pull the beserkes way outside of that room so if they do manage to get a fear off I dont pick up any extra mobs. That said, if you face them away from group they wont fear your guys =P

Concerning fears & tremor totems... can they still be staggered? I thought that was changed a few patches ago that they'll pulse at the same time no matter when you drop it (I think it was related to PvP/Arena nerf). Was that a PTR thing that didn't get implemented? I'll want to add a staggered tremor macro if it still works.

I ran this instance last night as a random daily and had no issues with fear, actually these guys never feared any of my toons except for the last mob at the top of the ramp.
BUT I am always careful with mobs that I know can fear me and so I do as stated above and pull them into the next room so that I do not get feared into extra mobs. This takes a couple of minutes longer but better than a wipe

I hate all of you non-bear tank groups for how easy you have it in UP.
