Warrios have a trait called Brawler’s recovery that removes conditions on weapon swap.
Every other class has access to a sigil of cleansing (not available in Pvp yet), that does the same thing: removes conditions on weapon swap.
Fear counts as a condition, and weapon swapping while feared is not disabled.
This means that anybody with the trait or sigil can remove your CC just by weapon swapping. (necromancers require working fears because we have bad stability, bad stun breaks, and no vigor or mobility. Necromancer downed state survival is also tied to fear)
Alternatively, it is time to just turn fear into a control effect and introduce a new condition called terror that only does damage and only gets applied when you have the terror trait.
