With +96% fear duration, do I get 2 sec fear?
You can get a second tick of fear with any duration over 1 second, so long as you apply it after a condition is already on the target in question. After that, its just a matter of how your fear’s duration matches up with the timer. Basically, when a condition is put on a target, it starts a timer that ticks once a second from then until conditions are gone. This “tick” each second applies to all conditions on that target. So if, for example, you applied a bleed, and then 0.6 seconds later applied a 1.5 second fear, that fear would tick at the 1 second mark, with 1.1 seconds of duration left, then again at the 2 second mark, and expire before ticking a third time.
If you cast fear while they already have a damaging condition on them, (i.e. bleed) you will get 2 ticks of damage 96% of the time.
If you cast fear with no conditions on them, you will never get it.
The actually length of the fear will be 1.96 seconds, or whatever it rounds down to, but very close.
