This ability is excellent for when casters try to hit you from your "dead zone" (5-8 yards). Fear them and wait for Frost nova or what have you to fade.

Comment by akirabrewer

All you really do is use the shout then go out to them. But if you are the people who just jump people this wont work against gnomes you horde people who just picks on gnomes we have escape artist!

Comment by aoirid

The duration is long enough to get every tick from a bandage if you use it quickly. Very useful for duels or small-group combat.

Comment by alididas

A downside though of this spell is that if used improperly against mobs, it could drag in more mobs than before

Comment by Guerre

Another way this spell can be used is as a makeshift spell interrupt. For example, if a druid has rooted you within 10 yards and is beginning to cast starfire, this spell can save your life granted you have the rage.

Comment by jvitzu

Is it just me, or does this particular fear break on any damage whatsoever? I generally use this on mobs when I get near death and have to bandage, i can get a good amount of first aid while theyre feared. However, if i have rend or deep wounds on the target, it seems like intimidating shout breaks on the very first tick.

Comment by Nycteris

Also good in Warsong Gulch when you are the flag carrier. Once the opposing team starts coming at you and you build some rage (due to heavy armor, you will have the time to build it), hit intimidating shout and make most, if not all, flee in fear. It gives you the window to carry the flag home :-)

Comment by Haagenti

Because of the mechanic, in a arena or duel it is often useful to target the hunter's pet for the fear, then switch to the hunter and get in a few whacks while he runs around.

Comment by axonaxoff

it doesn't seem to break so easily anymore. Deep wounds didn't break it the other day but I'm not sure what the threshold is.

odd, i didn't know that my Mom was a level 22 warrior...

Comment by hemek

I have to say that this ability is sooooo bugged - I have never successfully made the mob "RUN IN FEAR" as the abilities says - they fear for .1 seconds and then come back.....wtf?
They aren't being attacked either so thats even more retarded....this ability clearly has something bugged with it

Comment by Mitchrix

I'd like to add that the way this skill works appears to have been revamped. Instead of the previous "incapacitate one, fear 4 others" to "fear 5". I'm not sure if this means the days of targetting totems/pets for an unbreakable 8-sec fear are over, but it sure makes usage a lot easier (though riskier in solo/PvE content).

Comment by Jaygoodie

What is this abilities' picture of? A rock fist? Or a stoney mace perhaps?

Comment by vexew

Being changed to a long lasting single target crowd control spell in Cataclysm.
No more information than that, but could probably expect a cooldown as long as it's duration and it removing our bleed effects when used.

Comment by MonmonmoOfExodar

Thumbs up if the first time you've heard of this spell was in Leeroy Jenkins.

Comment by Megaa

it needs a 1.5sec cast it's too OP ( a DK )

Comment by headpiker

As of 5.1 this now has a 90 seconds cooldown, up from 60 seconds.

Comment by Assaidin

No longer breaks on damage.

Comment by xXzCodProxXz

Nerfed to require level 52 in cata...the guys comment says it all about the 22 warrior mom ;)..used to require level 22 and used to cost rage. Now it has a much higher level requirement but requires no rage to use

This is being replaced by Siegebreaker in WoD. You have been warned.
