Actually in 2 ways:

- you are strongly advised to use fencing - and thus the base of users using
  fencing is much higher and strange/unexpected behavior is thus much
  more likely with the less tested setups without fencing
- fencing helps you turning the 'maybe the node is down - it doesn't respond
  within x milli-seconds' into certainty that your node is dead and won't
  interfere with the rest of the cluster
