Intimidate is awesome for like a 10-level window where it is at/near the max skill for rogues and xp mobs are also still low enough that it actually works. I'd say from like 35-45 you can fear maybe 1/2 of the time or more, but once mobs are level 40+ it hardly ever works at all.
Duo with a necro is pretty great xp though, if you don't mind chasing stuff around all the time. Lots of dps and no damage taken, basically no downtime at all since all the necro needs to do is use maybe dooming + a fear + a lifetap to keep hp up for lich for each fight. Plus you aren't stuck with a ranger/SK/bard xp penalty, even though the same duo with any of those would still work out alright.
