I'm trying a solo Glass Cannon Inquisitor (suggested by @baardvark here) and it is a lot of fun. I die a lot but it is the best combo I've tried yet.

One problem I have is fear. ATM there seems to be no immunity and rather than run away (as it says on the tin) my character blunders about, if possible runs over any harmful surfaces and then hides inconsequentially in a corner with her back to the action.

This is quite funny actually but whereas you can find gloves/armour etc which will give you immunity to stun/burning/frozen/petrified with fear you are stuffed I think.

In last DOS you could get a talent Courageous which made you immune to fear at the expense of fleeing combat (or there were various other ways)

That or something else to counter fear would be very helpful. Either that or fear actually made you run away not wander around like a drugged up fool and kill yourself.
