Stability and fear.
It does.
It may well be you think you have the stability buff up, but it’s been removed and you suffer the fear effect. I find this fighting necros usually. I run through one of the many aoes thinking i’ve pressed stability, but infact it’s been removed instantly.
I got feared whilst performing Dagger Storm, it wasn’t a buff, and I was definately performing the skills when it happened. I’ll have to test it, maybe latency? =/
Stability gets corrupted into fear. Maybe it was that.
Stability says it protects against fear (or did, not sure now) but I am fairly positive it doesn’t. I seem to recall a developer post stating that this was intentional as well.
Stability DOES protect against fear. I’ve been playing necro a lot lately. When I either try to stop a stomp on me or a teammate, some times the enemy won’t get feared. Then I look, and there is that dern stability boon.
Are you sure? I distinctly remember a developer saying they were aware that fear wasn’t effected by stability and it was a design decision to give stability more weakness. Maybe they changed their minds since then and didn’t put it in patch notes?
It’s because Corrupt Boon turns your stability boon into Fear.

Bug.Contrary to the description, stability does not provide immunity against fear.
‘’corrupt boon’’ turns all boons into condtions,thus stability is turned into fear instantly.
End of story.
