Fear WhoresFollow

Basic Question, how many of you guys depend on fear as a class strength?

I very rarely fear, and I NEVER chain fear targets, even in pvp. Yet I usually find myself on top of a 1v1 (other than rogues dam them to 10 deaths in hell!)

I would also like to address the use of fear in Instances (5mans/heroics/norm) do you guys use it with succy for 2 cc's?

I use it alot, and I've had several groups get mad at me, but after the third or fourth time doing it, they ASK me to fear this mob, succy this one.

Anyone else use the fear toggle like this (cowreck)/any other curse?

Just a thread to start some discussion about Improving players and their use of fears.

My opinion is quite astringent because I play multiple classes, but I as a lock, truly dislike fear whores. The way to win isnt thru fear, but by being skilled in your class.

Let me see if I have this right. You won't use one of our most valuable spells because you know how to play?

I'm fear *****,proud of it,using fear very well,and causing much frustration to other classes.
You are not above us if you are not uing fear.

Yes ,I could prolly win witout fear by just dotting and draining,but not using fear is plainly STUPID.

Hello, my name is Smallsword. And I'm a fear *****.

Sure, the Fear ability isn't a skill you'll use all the time. There are moments when it won't be in your best interests. But when it adds to your survivability, while lowering the survivability of your opponant... It's pretty clear that it should be used.

It's like suggesting that I shouldn't use the Bestial Wrath ability on my BM hunter, It's a skill my class has and I'll use it.


Oh, and...

warlocks wear CLOTH they cant take much melee damage....so fear is a locks lifeline, dont diss it, if your a lock dont be shamed of this spell thats insane, now for instances, in some cases it is good to chain fear but not in most, it slows ur dps and is aggro in a mousetrap,

~agree to disagree

it does work. in some regulated occasions but it does.

you need a team with you and in that case if you are strategically placing DC it will win. more use sometimes to spam SoC then fear. limited occasions but it does work :)

I'm alliance, and there are 2 very good BGs for SoC.

1) In AV, when defending by the bridge, SoC is *amazing*... in fact, in AV if you're a lock and not #1 damage (surpassed only by another lock)... you have failed in your mission.
2) In EoTS, run down to mage tower (Belf Tower for horde), and drop into the crack beside the tower. Then spam your 'tab-target' and start applying siphon life and SoC... you should be in the top few for damage if you do this. Makes your defense much easier, until that rogue discovers where you are at and you get ganked.
