-'''Fear effects''' are a form of [[crowd control]] that makes a victim to run in random directions, unable to perform most actions for a period of time. '''Feared''' creatures have a small chance to break '''Fear''' when damaged; some believe damage-over-time effects have a lower chance of breaking '''Fear'''. Any '''Fear''', no matter the duration listed, will last a maximum of 12 seconds when used against players in [[PvP]], and fear is affected by [[diminishing returns]].

-[[Undead]] and [[Mechanical]] monsters are generally immune to '''Fear'''.  [[Boss]] monsters, including lesser bosses of pre-70 instances, and some [[elite]] monsters are immune to '''Fear''' and other [[crowd control]] effects.

+== Description ==
-'''Fear''', among all [[crowd control]] types, is unique in that the victim runs around, sometimes quite a distance before the effect ends.  Players affected by it may run into awkward areas (though they will not fall off cliffs) or into more enemy monsters or players that may attack.  Monsters affected by '''Fear''' may also run into groups of monsters, alerting their friends which then come running into the fight.  The fact that it has a somewhat low chance of breaking on damage means that it can be as effective as a [[Stun]] with some luck, or more so if the enemy runs far away and must run back to you while you attack; on the other hand it can last too long and the enemy runs into a group of fellows, or break after only a hit or two.

+== Rewards ==
-Many '''Fear''' effects are magical and can be dispelled or reflected; many are [[Shadow]] and are affected by Shadow [[Resistance]].
+You will receive: {{cost||3}}
+== Progress ==
-Some [[raid]] [[boss]]es cause '''Fear''' to the entire raid.  Losing your fear before the [[tank]] does can be hazardous to your health as you may be acquired as the mob's target.

-==Player abilities that cause the fear effect==
-*The [[Hunter]]'s [[Scare Beast]]
-*The [[Paladin]]'s [[Turn Undead]]
-*The [[Priest]]'s [[Psychic Scream]]
-*The [[Warlock]]'s [[Fear]] and [[Howl of Terror]] and the [[Succubus]]'s [[Seduction]] (although Seduction is not one that causes you to run, it is considered a Fear effect under diminishing returns as of [[Patch 1.4.1]].)

-**The [[Priest]]'s [[Dispel Magic]] and [[Mass Dispel]] (both abilities cannot be cast on the Priest themself while feared)

-===Blocks===
-Another method of preventing '''Fear''' would be preventing the caster from using a '''Fear''' with a cast time through your own [[crowd control]] or anti-spellcasting abilities such as:
-**The [[Glimmering Mithril Insignia]]
-**The [[Blood Elf]]'s [[Arcane Torrent]]
-**The [[Tauren]]'s [[War Stomp]]

-**The [[Warrior]]'s [[Pummel]] and [[Shield Bash]]
-**The [[Druid]]'s [[Feral Charge]]
-Also dealing fatal damage, a high shadow resistance, or avoiding the range or area the user can hit with fear are all viable ways to stop the Fear from happening.  At the present time, there are thirty-one race/class combinations capable of either dispelling Fear, becoming immune to at least one Fear, or are capable of stopping the spell. <ref>http://web.me.com/brokenpromise/Warcraft_Answers_to_Nagging_Questions/History_of_Fear.html</ref>
