How do you deal with AOE Fear in wPVP?

[Ellay]

The Crowd has the answer, make sure to use interact with target. In original vanilla this wasn't an option until Wrath came out so this is a huge leg up from what used to be. Wishing I had this back in the day.

To note on top of this IWT sadly doesn't work for some classes which really limits your options. But if you can have it, use it.

I know this is a old thread but it is still relevant to what i am doing.

I have 5 horde druids, what do you suggest besides IWT, as its all a big panic.

I am running feral + 4 balance, do you suggest a specific setup to offset such ambushes? resto's/balance x5?

I've been feared a few times and it is carnage for classic, being tauren my options are limited. Hot's are my protection currently.

Aside from reacting to being feared, you can also proactively prevent yourself from being feared. Pay attention to priests running towards you as a pretty clear indicator they want to psychic scream you. If you play mages, preemptively silence warriors when they charge and then kill them before they can fear, etc.

In Classic it's generally better to counter things proactively rather than reacting after you've been hit.

You can also build a shadow resist set for team comps that don't have any inherent way of dealing with fear. You can get over 130 shadow resist from dungeon blues which will significantly increase the chances of fear either missing you entirely or breaking early. This works particularly well for druids since you can shift out of most other forms of CC.

If you focus on PVP you could take Engineering and BlackSmithing for Glimmering Mithril Insignia for 30 seconds of Fear Immunity. You could pop it proactively or hot button your PVP trinket and then to immediately dispel fear and make yourself immune for 30 seconds.
