I just experienced this in CT today, and I think it's been happening in the planes as well. When a mob fears you, instead of running away like normal, you just stay in one place stunned.

And I'm sure nobody can tell me when this started happening on beta because, well, people don't test anything on beta.

I forced a mob to cast dragon roar on me and it worked. Can you give me more details?

Last Cazic kill (before today), I was feared by a toad. It made me run, not stunned me.

Every fear that landed up till today, feared me and I haven't been able to see if that was the case for todays dragons/god rush.

I haven't seen that issue happen on beta the few times I've been able to play there.

I think only the crusaders fear in Cazic. I noticed Ire Ghasts not(or rarely) fearing in Hate anymore, I just figured it wasn't their main spell to cast anymore . Maybe SK NPC issue?

I can confim Ire ghasts in hate seem to fear rarely since a while.

"Fear2" (I think? A fear spell cast in CT by some lizard in TR camp) just stunned me. This was observed today.

Ire Ghast similarly, just stuns, doesn't fear.

An Orc Priest in Oasis is also stunning instead of fearing. And yeah, I know it should be a fear spell since it says "Your mind fills with fear" and little skulls surround the mob before it casts.

Ire ghast is still just stunning. Don't know about the other mobs that were mentioned.

In fear those undead toads were rooting and fearing my shadowknight and I thought I was being stunned as well. Sure you guys aren't just being rooted?

Yes, I'm sure.

This is working as intended. Class based npc casters use the fear2 line, this has been in for months, and was in the patch notes.
