You are correct in understanding it this way but it's also important to remember that mez duration is affected by the Purple Patch, so the baseline duration you see would only apply to even con enemies. You'll probably want a bit more than that much fear duration if you plan on fighting tougher enemies.

OK, so with my current slotting (53% enhancement), I get 11.5 seconds against even-level enemies, so 5.52 seconds against +4s. With 69.8% accuracy against +4s, for the first 0.52 seconds, there's a 100%-(100%-69.8%)^2 = 90.9% chance they're afraid, and then for 4.48 seconds, a 69.8% chance they're afraid, for an overall average of (0.52*90.9% + 4.48*69.8%)/5 = 72.0%.
If I add a +3 Endoplasm, I get 6.82 seconds and 83.3% accuracy. (1.82*(100%-(100%-83.3%)^2)+3.18*83.3%)/5 = 88.4%.
If I remove the fear enhancement, I get 3.58 seconds and 69.8% accuracy. (3.58*69.8%+1.42*0%)/5 = 50.0%.
OK, I guess I know where I stand, then. Not sure how many slots I'll end up devoting to the cause, but at least I know what I'm getting for those slots. Thanks!

I want to make sure I have the correct understanding of Cloak of Fear. Both Mids' and City of Data show an activation time of 5 seconds in Cloak of Fear. I believe that means that Cloak of Fear only pulses (activates) every 5 seconds. So if a single pulse misses, the default duration of 7.45 seconds means the enemy would become unafraid for at least 2.55 seconds.
If that is correct, I'll probably want to enhance the fear portion of it to at least 10 seconds so that two misses in a row would be required for a minion to become unafraid. But I don't want to waste the slot if I'm misunderstanding how it works.
