Something that's been bugging me for some time;
Fear ward, in its current incarnation, seems almost completely useless.
The only uses I've found for it:
1. Core hound trash in firelands
2. When running towards a priest/lock in arena, aiming to get a fear on them - sometimes it doesnt get insta-dispelled
3. Adding more clutter that needs dispelling at the start of an arena.
4. When I've not got enough time to LoS a casted fear.
Now granted that appears a fair amount, but when you consider the very large CD, and the fact that all of those uses are highly situational, it seems highly underpowered.
So, my question is this; could fear ward be changed in a manner to make it more useful without being OP.
My ideas are nothing highly new or orignal, so any input would be appreciated
Specifically I was thinking about changes along the following lines:
- Keep mechanics the same but reduced CD to same as if it were glyhped.
- make usable while feared - like zerker rage, lichbourne, will of forsaken, bestial wrath - ALL of which have shorter CDs
- make undispellable - similar to shammies earth shield.
I DON'T propose all of those changes at the same time - just one would make the spell feel useful.
