Scare Beast is a hunterclass talent.

Tips and tactics

  • Scare Beast works on druids when they are in one of their beast shapeshift form, and shamans in [Ghost Wolf] form. It has a PvP duration of 8 seconds, and is subject to diminishing returns.
  • Scare Beast, [Eagle Eye], [Eyes of the Beast], [Tame Beast] are the only interruptible hunter spells. Be ware this means enemy players will usually have their interrupt unspent and prepared when you attempt to cast Scare Beast on them, and the "nature school lockout" it causes can disable a fair amount of your abilities.
  • This can be used as crowd control when fighting multiple mobs and one happens to be a beast.
  • As with all Fear effects, Scare Beast should be used carefully. Scared beasts can easily wander into range of other mobs, aggroing them and causing them to attack the hunter.
  • Scare Beast can be used to allow time for the hunter to bandage, or to gain distance before recommencing their attack.
