I know its once every five to ten seconds, if attacked, but I do not have the exact answer handy. I tested this a long time ago and I want to say it was approximately eight seconds on average, but that's going from a very old memory.

Does anyone have the exact info on this? It would help me to understand just how effective Fearsome Stare really is compared to other control powers. |

Going off that, let's say it's 5 seconds for a worst-case scenario. Normally, a mob might get off maybe 2 to 3 attacks in that time? So it sounds like fear is providing at least 50% mitigation of incoming attacks in the worst-case scenario. Best-case is, of course, enemies that are feared but not being attacked, which is as good as a hold or stun until you're ready to deal with them. That's pretty impressive.
Which is why on my Dark/Dark Defender I usually open with Fearsome Stare 
Just made my Dark/Mind Dom this morning before work so didnt get much time to play but Im itching to get home, order pizza and load up CoV
my baby Dark/Dark is only 11, but I'm thinking of slotting FS with a to-hit debuff set, when I get enough slots, its base duration for Fear is fairly decent. and it has a decent debuff value. The point is, if the mobs are being debuffed by FS along with whatever else your hitting them with, them attacking back is much less of an issue
