Fear is a warlock spell. Fear causes a single enemy to flee in fear, effectively disabling it temporarily.

Notes[]

• The duration of Fear is dependent on several factors.
  • Fear has a potential PvE duration (versus mobs) of 20 seconds.
  • Fear has a potential PvP duration (versus players) of 8 seconds.
• Fear has a damage limit. If the target takes damage equal to the limit, the Fear spell will break, regardless of the potential duration of the spell.
• Casting Fear on your minion's current target will automatically cause your minion to stop attacking that target.
• Numerous abilities and items such as PvP trinkets may allow players to break the fear effect prematurely, while others may render them immune.
• When used against mobs, Fear will cause a patrol to aggro, even when glyphed.
• Fear is subject to diminishing returns when used against players. Consequently, repeated use of fear effects upon a player within a 15 second period will reduce the duration of the effect considerably.
• Fear is the only fear effect available to players that does not have a cooldown.
