Tempered Won't

[Khalithar]

Snip

Not really. I just keep running, usually by the time the monster leashes and leave me alone I have 10-15 seconds left on the heavy and I'm out of combat. That's when I pop TW, remount, and go back on my way.

"Removes Bind and Heavy"

...... about the only Bind that I've seen it get rid of at 50+ is the one from the Marlboro Alexandrite map.

Why can anyone still be surprised that the PLD skills don't actually do what the tooltips say they do?

[MrTherm]

By the time you...

• Dismount
• Use Tempered Will
• Kill the monster
• Wait for the game to register you're out of combat
• Summon your mount

...you'd better keep running until the effect wears off

Kill the monster...? If your on a mount, your going somewhere. Dont bother killing the mob, just temp will and pop sprint till it deaggros and pretend like it never happened.

most Pld's get more use out of it in PvP than they ever do in PvE

Its not only TW that gets used alot in PvP compared to PvE, all PLD utilities shines in PvP even things like pasification from SS(well it got nerfed in pvp after patch due CD, rip 12s melee "silence" locking). Sometimes it feels that PLD is made more for PvP than PvE, i guess it makes sense as you start out as an gladiator.

[Sevyrr]

... that is such a good point.

That's because jobs have a much wider range of abilities that PLD can counter than most enemies you encounter in any raid. Most jobs have at least one form of stun and bind/heavy/slow that they will use regularly, players can be pacified/stunned/blinded constantly unlike 95% of raid mobs, and there's more targets and no threat management so PLD can actually utilize cover effectively. I mean that's over half our abilities right there and PLD barely get's to effectively use them in content.

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.

Also Neverreap final boss, I use(d) it there the first time he does the knockback

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.
