Once I get around to recreating my Range/Mage hybrid character I am going to invest in Fear because I think it would be good for CC. And after it wears off, you can just range em down. ^^; But I assume, like Charm, it will lose it's effectiveness rather quickly... \: I will at least keep it until I can respec, haha. Stats for her are going to be: 100 Int, 50 Spir, rest in Dex if possible. But I might end up not making a hybrid and just doing the pures of both areas, unsure right now... >>;
Also, Hassat Hunter, how good is Shield + Sword? I want to try and make a tank type of build whose main focus is absorbing damage or preventing it all together. With high Vit and all the defensive skills I think it's possible... I plan to have something like:
MAX (If possible, and if not, then in order of importance): Sword + Shield Expertise > Defensive Posture > Life Leech > Regenerate > Evade > Reflect > Way of the Wise Wizard > Lockpick
Skills that will get a single point: Firewall, Mana Leech, Whirlwind, Thousand Strikes, Rush Attack, Potion Efficiency, Fatality*
* I think I might end up maxing this though, because I am not going to be able to damage quickly, so the less damage I have to do to get the kill, the better.
My stats will end up being like, 100 Vit, and the rest even with Str/Int for the damage and defense bonus. Though I doubt I will have enough skill points to do what I wish to be done, I will have to compensate with equips, but I shall complete my tank build. ^^;
