Tempered Won't

[MaethusXion]

Can't be esuna'ed, leech'ed, exalted detriment'ed, fey caressed, nor prevented by wanderers paean. Not just a pally issue. #otherclassesthanjustpallygetscrewedbyirksomedebuffs

Reminds me of the stupidity of paralysis being able to esuna'd/etc, but not pot'd off... seriously? Also, what's the use of an HQ pot, it does nothing? Unless I'm missing a reuse timer reduction...

I think the only time I've ever seen tempered will as useful, is for it's anti-knockback ability more than it's anti-heavy ability. Even then it's exceedingly situational as Leviathan and A3 N/S are the only instances I ever found it useful. Honestly though, I've noticed it's anti-heavy effects have become resisted more and more in later content similar to Shield Swipes pacification effect, unlike Pacification though, anti-heavy effects wouldn't be OP in any point of the game considering it's long cooldown.

With precise timing you can achieve the same effect as a DRK with...Plunge...and for each knockback...with added damage.

Its one of the many reasons I decided to keep DRK as my main tank class.

That's also the proof that they could have given PLD approximately the same ability to counter knockback, but in a much more effective it.
The tricky part is that Plunge needs a target, so, each time they would like to negate "Tempered Will", they could simply make you unable to select a target, instead of just bypassing the effect.

They could replace Tempered Will with the gap closer from the 1st boss of the Vault, Shield Bash included.
