depends on the magnitude of the fear effect, if its magnitude 10, break frees free you from magnitude 5, so you'd need to spam a few ( i think thats how it works anyway ) and annoyingly in PvP and PvE its very powerful as I've not managed to find many ways to resist it ( one of the Rikti assault suits in the LGTF is notorious for ganking people with fear followed up by laser cannon to the face )

Ok that's new info thanks.
Just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly, if I get hit with a Mag 10 power and I pop a break free (Mag 5) that then still leaves me under the influence of a Mag 5 power? So another BF would free me totally?

That's the theory, but it does, of course, depend on the Fear effect. Don't forget while you're spamming BFs, the other guy is probably trying his hardest to spam Fear.
A BF says it does:[ QUOTE ]
-10 Magnitude protection against Hold, Sleep, Stun, and Immobilize; -5 Magnitude protection against Knockback, Knockup, Fear, and Confuse; 50% resistance to Taunt and Placate; 25% resistance to Repel

So, it's much more ffective against some things than others.

So in FNFC last night and I'm terrorized. Well and truly shaking in my proverbials (and if you've ever seen them you know how that feels)
so I pop a break free. Nothing
I pop another one, and still nothing
Do break frees not work against Fear? Am I missing something? Is this a wierd kinda bug?
I certainly seemed totally unable to act while under the influnece of the terror right up until the moment I got defeated.
Any suggestions welcome, but my faith in the universal panacea of break frees is shaken!
