I have been working with a mage lately that uses tatics unlike any other mage I have ever worked with. He uses fear a lot. Of course he also uses mind tap a lot and you know what THAT does to mages!

I would life tap whole the time when with a cleric and not tanking :P

Fear is my buddy. I never realized I used it that much until people I party with started teasing me about it. Keeps monsters from whacking me upside the head too (too much).
