[Suggestion] New Fear-based Skill Gems for Patch 0.4.0

For next Content Patch 0.4.0, I would like to propose to GGG to add two new skill gems that introduce a new fear mechanic to PoE2 as a new form of crowd control. In many ARPGs and MMORPGs, fear mechanics cause enemies to flee uncontrollably for a short time, disrupting their actions. Below are two new skill gem ideas that offer fear-based mechanics for the player:

Psychic Scream
Intelligence Skill Gem
Perform a terrifying scream that pierces the mind of your enemies, causing them to flee in terror for a duration. The fear effect on an enemy is broken the moment it takes damage. Bosses and unique monsters are immune to this effect.

Primal Roar
Strength Skill Gem
Unleash a primal roar, causing nearby monsters to flee in panic for a duration. The fear effect on an enemy is broken the moment it takes damage. Bosses and unique monsters are immune to this effect.

Lastly, would like to see new monster modifiers along these same lines, but the tables are turned and monsters fear the players. Heck, GGG could even add a unique amulet that makes players immune to fear status effects. This adds more depth to the visceral combat Jonathan always talks about.

I like these ideas. But it seems that GGG wants to stick with weapon based skills.

The boring route.

True, but some persistent skill gems like Arctic Armour don't rely on weapons, same could be done for normal skill gems as well.
