    Break free. Then two seconds later, break free again. Etc. Etc.

    Except when it bugs out and break free doesn't work, then you just die. (In multiples since fear is an AoE non-blockable CC).

    "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

    Telel pressesd the number 9 button on their mouse, then hits number four to give back the gift that keeps on giving.

    They then follow this up by much spinning in place as their hammers shoot knives through the air until the rest of the pack comes along and puts mister mcstabby stabs on the ground.

    Oh, and there's likely a teleport followed by double hammer whammies somewhere in there as well.

    NB - It barely happens, if my targets survive my attacks to fear me, I am not good enough.
    Sorc - Well, just leave me and my shields alone or you always must deal with the consequences.

    And how exactly do you do that? I've never been able to.

    I've been deployed to combat, and other folks have repeatedly, actively tried to kill me. And I've engaged enemy forces with direct fire. Was I afraid? Not during the combat itself, but a little bit before and after, as I had time to reflect. Fear in my case was overcome by training and mental checklists.
    • Enemy action appears to be occurring
    • Conduct escalation of force within rules of engagement
    • Enemy is conducting direct action
    • Engage enemy with suppressive fire
    • Communicate with team, and continue to engage until enemy contact is broken or enemy neutralized
    • Enemy contact has ended. Assess situation and prepare report, providing first aid and BDA as necessary
    • Continue mission

    That's an example of how fear can be overcome with training. It's when you have time to dwell on what happened ... or what could have happened, that fear can set in. Fear is closely related to worrying, which accomplishes nothing. Worrying is dwelling or agonizing over that which you have no direct control.

    The only thing you can ever control is how you choose to react to a given situation.

    You control absolutely nothing else ... ever.

    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    break free of it. I do it all the time. Not sure what folks issue is with it. I suppose if your a low stamina build it could be problematic.

    No, not a vampire. But a mere man, who through the power of his intense willpower forges his mind and body into steel.

    For real though, I just CC break, and roll dodge ASAP, usually leaves me with enough health to get back on my feet and do something about it.

    It's something I struggles with too, but whenever I fight a NB I try to anticipate. First you gotta know when they are going to fear you, that is mostly when they teleported towards you and are standing right next to you. Pay close attention, because once you're long than a sec or two feared, thigs are too late and you'll actually get trouble breaking free. Breaking free also takes time, so you gotta time that fast.

    For the least animation I see I press my two buttons, I do not wait till I start running away. Hold block right after or cc the NB, this really has been succesful for me. It's something that needs close attention and a bit of practice, but it sure keeps you alive.

    There are so many useless posts in this topic haha.

    For me it always breaks. I press left and right mouse buttons and it works fine. The only time it won't break is if I don't have the resources.

    Though I have heard it is bugged and sometimes won't break? But I have never experienced that.
