1) Druids cannot shift out of fear. You can remove "buffs" like "bearform" while feared, but then you're just running around feared in caster form. You cannot place new buffs (new shapeshifts) on yourself while feared. Fear for druids is BAD. They can shift out of any snares.

2) Nature's Grace <-- try synchronized casting with that. Doable with a button jammer, but not as controllable as lightning bolts, which are always the same speed.
