They did, they just capped CP at 70 for everyone..
Fear is still broken in multiple ways, a lot of CCs are.
As a NB myself I get whispers from players all the time;
"GG, couldn't break free"
"WTF my skill bars stopped working!"
"No CC immunity -.-"
When I play on my NB I always seem to be able to break fear and receive CC immunity. Since I've been playing on my Sorc I've noticed the exact opposite. More times than not when I'm feared all of the above things happen to my character. Although since they "fixed" fear I haven't been directed into the terrain. Think you're just really unlucky.
