if you fear the incoming add, and don't attack it after the fear lands, the fear does work....the problem is where the stupid mob then paths. 80% of the time he disappears, or paths somewhere without adds, but 20% of the time he brings back a train of mobs. As I go into higher and higher dungeons the 20% risk is becoming more like 50% risk and so basically fear is pretty useless in pve.As Applesauce said, they should probably make this a stun (for pve) and make the mob just animate as if it were feared, or to run in a small circle or something. The pathing is far too chaotic for any self respecting dirge to start playing with fear on adds in a dungeon (unless it is a low level dungeon where the mobs are spaced further apart and less roamers etc).
