Dmg threshold - thats why fear wont break

[Nicola]

No I'm pretty sure Intimidating Shout is a standard fear on all non-primary targets, with the added advantage that it's physical not magical - so it can be cast while silenced, and cannot be dispelled or immune via AMS / Cloak / Unbound Will. On the primary target however, Intimidating Shout is a Cower effect (according to it, which is just dumb wording at this point) - effectively its a gouge on the primary, with an aoe fear effect to everyone else in range.

Just a little correction here, unbound will actually dispels the warriorfear since it works as a pvp trinket that also clears all magical debuffs on you.

Warrior fear has ALWAYS broken on a single point of damage dealt. The only reason it wouldn't break is if you're shielded with an absorb.

my comp doesn't really have an absorb....
fear as a mechanic is the same across all classes that have fear no matter if its magical or not.

as for it breaking? i once feared my focus target, put bloodbath on my primary target, then fat fingered my thundercap button ( idk, i was half asleep or something, and i'm still new to my warrior's keybinds) spread bloodbath to my feared target and it didn't break.

i think i once put bloodbath on a feared target by heroic leaping over to his pillaring partner and it didn't break either from the heroic leap damage or the bloodbath damage.

so much for a single point of damage.

i actually remember fear being more easily broken in wolk then it is now.

Neat didn't know that I suspect Shamanistic Rage does the same then?

I don't think it does. The warlock ability says that it clears all magic debuffs AND effects which cause a loss of control of your character (which in this case is a Fear) but Sham Rage only clears magical debuffs, and Intim Rage is a physical debuff (which means it can be BOPed off - I believe).

[Arcsecant]

I've mindblasted and 3 orb devouring plagued into a psychic scream and it sometimes doesn't break the fear. 100% to 60% and still feared, yeah fear damage threshold is fucked.

Unbound Will-Purge all Magic effects, movement impairing effects and all effects which cause loss of control of your character or demon.

So if I'm right it's like a defensive dispel on top of a freedom trinket.

Shamanistic Rage-Reduces all damage taken by 30% and causes your skills, totems, and offensive spells to consume no mana for 15 sec. This spell is usable while stunned.

Plus the glyph-Activating your Shamanistic Rage ability also cleanses you of all dispellable harmful Magic effects.

So with the glyph its more like a defensive dispel. The only reason it clears off a magic stun is because its usable while stunned. Otherwise, if I understand it correctly, you can't use it while you don't have control of your character. I don't think enhancement can use it while under the effects of any other magic cc, other than magic-based roots, snares, and stuns. They can use it while shockwaved for the 30% damage reduction but the glyph won't act a s a trinket because shockwave is a physical stun.

Fail...
Then use trinket.

[Itisamuh]

10% damage breaks it, at least from a single hit (dots may add up to more before it breaks.) Anyone that says otherwise is wrong or lying.

[Krusza]

"Damage caused may cancel fear"

Oh, Blizzard.

[Theholypally]

I can confirm that fear deff doesn't break after losing 10% of my HP. Repeatable too.

And I can confirm it doesn't... repeatable as well...
Confirmations without a proof mean nothing.

trinket is on cooldown because you trinketed a poly to save your healer 1 minute ago. you can be put in a fear a lot more often then you can get out of it.

That's an issue with every CC, not just fear. Blizzard needs to lower the CD on the trinket.

[Deleted]

It seems to be a bit buggy indeed, but it has to be said that players usually use the dmg threshold to its maximum so to speak.

For instance, if i catch someone in a full fear, i will dot him, dispell him, heal myself etc until the dots have done some damage, that 10% ish damage, and then cast a mindblast+3DP nuke. That easily could take a 40% in total with crits so....

[Reith]

Half the time it's practically a stun. The way it works right now is stupid.

no its not a problem with the trinket. its a problem with fear not breaking on damage like it should.

[Svarbald]

Fear breaks reliably after taking 10% of your max life in damage.

Either you got hit for half your life in one hit, or you're making things up.

Bullshit and you know it, 40-50% health gone till Fear breaks. Dont try to pull that crap hear.

[Yaraza]

no its not a problem with the trinket. its a problem with fear not breaking on damage like it should.

The funny thing about that is my main is a holy priest and that never happens when I use psychic scream (I WISH IT DID LOL), but then again I don't use it to kill people, I use it as a defensive CD. To be honest, I wouldnt care if it broke on even just 1 damage... why? Because I don't use it to kill people; I use it to escape people. You see, priests have shitty mobility and that is one of the few things that helps...

I bet people would still complain about it even if it broke on 1 damage.

Anywho... stuns need to break on damage for sure. It's time.
