The chance of fearing for ire ghasts is waaaaayyyy too high. On any given pull you are basically guaranteed to get feared (and usually killed), and fighting 1 ghast sends multiple people running in random directions.
In addition, the fear is lasting entirely too long. At least 2 times that I can count IB and Transcendence have been at opposite east/west sides of the zone and a fear will send a player from one camp into the other.
I used to pull hate back in the day. I can't even remember even getting feared at all. That doesn't say it didn't happen, as I'm sure it did, but that leads me to believe it wasn't really that much of a concern. The most deaths were always from bad pathing, being too cavalier in running to get the next pull before ensuring other things/roamers are dead, and FD failing. I don't ever remember worrying about every single ire ghast pull sending me halfway across the zone on a 20 second fear. On here, after a camp is established the #1 cause of death and wipe has been from getting feared.
I can't provide any data or % to back up the post. I just ask that you watch people pull & fight ire ghasts and determining yourself whether or not we should be running around widlly so often.
