Intimidating shout only lasting half the amount of time?

This only happens in PvP, on players. It only lasts 4 seconds! how lame... is this a bug, is this blizzlike, or is it cause I'm only level 40. You can't do anything in 4 seconds... I was looking forward to intimidating shout' a mage midway blink and then re-charging but I guess its not possible...

It does last the full 8s sometimes, but it breaks early more often than not.

A mix of lag and resistances, this is normal.

I'm pretty sure that its full duration is 6 seconds and not 8. I'm not a PvP player at all, but I have noticed in instances that many of the stuns and other cc on me have expired prematurely.

All forms of CC have a chance to break early, with an increasing chance to break for every second that passes.
I rarely stay sapped for the full duration of the thing, it tends to break earlier.

true, but when warriors do it on me, I see the debuff only starts at 5 or 4 seconds I can't really remember. It had worked on mobs for the full 8 seconds lots of times.

This is a typical pserver bug. The reason is that on most servers rhe shout shares a dr with stuns, what wrong is. It should have a dr with other fears. So if you charge someone and fear him, he is only feard for 4sek....

Aha, this seems to be the problem then. Maybe we should put it on the bug tracker and suggestions forums? Shouldn't be too hard to fix.
