tested this several times while dueling....

with no DB and no FOW macro: whoever hits it first....works fine (well...sometimes wounds...sometimes not...different thread)

with DB macro but no FOW macro: no chance my poor little fingers can't beat a macro

with FOW macro but no DB macro: works fine.

with both macros running: i found that the macro (db or fow) with the shortest pause in between commands or looping usually wins (usually because it is a matter of timing)

therefore i propose a FOW macro that runs like this:

FOW

/forceofwill;

/pause .1;

/macro FOW

turn off system message in the options menu to stop the annoying "you cannot Force Of Will while..."

I encountered a first for me regarding Force of Will.
Excuse me if this is a known issue as I don't keep up with all the bugs... Or in fact it may not be due to force of will but other circumstances that happened at that time.

While at the FS Village my buffs ran out and I got rebuffed by a group mate.
Even though my BF being real high made my buffs half what they could of been it made the difference between leaving and staying to help my group out.

Now for the Bug part.... I got incapt and used force of Will and when I stood up I had a lot of Black showing on all my Bars.

I had been given 500 wounds tohealth, action and mind and was surprised at how that could of happened.

Not a problem, I just sat down and meditated them all off but then I noticed that I had gained 500 more to my mind, action and health bars then I had before I got incapt.

So, I think what happened was getting incapt and then using force of will somehow messed up my buffed stats by increasing them... My BF also wentway to high for a single incapt.
That incapt caused my BF to go from 300 to over 750.

Other incapts later and without using force of will to recover didn't change any of my stats.

Besides this fluke, I have found I have enough time to use my force of will key and have encountered no other problems.

Unstickying this one now.

In another thread someone said they found they could Force of Will more then once in an hour, aftering a little testing last nightI found this wasn't the case on FarStar at least, if anyone else finds the they canplease speak up about it.

Mankind-

I made a post over a week ago about a FoW issue I was having here. I wasn't able to re-create the situation. Although, I experienced another issue after this recent patch.

I was on Dathomir hunting Rancor, dizzy/kd, incap.

I hit FoW, chat log states I regain consciousness, although my action bar was still empty, I never stood up, then I was DB'ed.

My focus and willpower were well over 1500, I did not suffer from any negate effects from using FoW as well.

I very rarely use FoW, so it is difficult for me to test it thoroughly as a solo hunter...

I hope this helps,

The first one just sounds like server lag, with the village been in Phase 4 at the time (I think?) on Dath thats not unlikly.

This more recent one, what state were your other bars in? Normaly it equals out your HAM so it sounds to me like there was a chance you just got hit & DB'd stright off, possibly didn't stand up due to lag?

It's just a thought, if you have any more info or it happens again bring it up again. At least make sure it's /bug'ed though.

I was thinking about the lag situation myself, I figured that was most likely the case. Although I do play after 3am est, plus I hunt on the complete opposite end of Dathomir.

It doesn't bother me really, it's a game, there are bugs/lag,this I understand. I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

As far as the recent situation, When I was stated then kd'ed, my health andmind wereat least 85%full. Before I was DB'ed, my mind was full (Drank a brandy and popped a muon), as well as I was using healhealthself1 (Force healing) while I was dizzy/kd'ed. Hence the incap from the low action pool.

TKA was the first combat profession I ever mastered in this game, back in July 2003.I have seen many different effects from FoW. Negated stats, wounds, successful FoW's ending up with only 100 to all h-a-m. As well as perfect FoW's bringing my h-a-m back up to 100%. Nothing ever like these 2 past issues I have experienced. Like I said before, it doesn't really bother me, I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

I will do what I can to test this issue further in different situations. With my work and RL schedule it's been hard to get alot of play time this month.

Thank you for your quick responses, as well as keeping this board up to date.
