Spells: Fear (again)

[Nagash]

I know this bug has been reported several time but I still experience the same problem. In a nutshell, fear doesn't work. I cast it, have the message "Your ennemy looks very affraid" (or something like that) but nothing happens, the mob just bee lines towards me.
It looks like some people reported it as working properly for them although everytime I saw such a report, it was from a high level necro so I wonder if they were refering to fear or to some upgrades we got later on. I did the proper installation of the game, including the new spell files so it really puzzles me. In case it has anything to do with it, I run on Titanium.
Has anyone got any idea how to get it to work? I can't fear kite, can't kite (my snare is not powerfull enough to offset the speed boost mobs have on the server and pet tanking is the only solution I have which is ok at low level but will become a problem soon.
Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Nagash
