Stop ranged attackers from attacking

Hoping to get a free sub, but since I can't see a listing of your current WoW bugs I don?t know if this is listed. I use it quiet often in game and find it very helpful in a variety of situations.

As a warlock we have many forms of crowd control if you combine curse of recklessness (CoR for the rest of this) with fear it causes 2 things to happen. CoR makes mob and players immune to fear. If you cast CoR then fear the same NPC/PC. The target will not run but still be under the effects of fear.

This is exploitable in a few different ways.

1. Fighting a NPC that uses a bow/gun or other ranged weapon after you fear them they will not be able to attack so they will simply stand there until the effects of fear wear out. In most cases the target will not enter melee combat since it is out of range. You can use this to make a ranged attacker to not fight for 15-20 secs depending on the duration of the fear spell. You can also recast to make the target not attack for a longer time.

2. The second way to use this is as a silence vs. PC casters. Since they are immune to from CoR they will not run but the effect of fear will lock out some of there command options including casting.
