I mean seriously as a tkm i should never fail fow as my meditation is on 100? (have to check sure it is htough) yet i failed it 4 times in a row, 4 times i mean it may be because i had 200 bf but when you fail you get another 100bf which makes it a circle you cant get up from. cause you have bf you get more bf for using a skill just marvelous and the skill only works once an hour. if it only works once an hour IT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. i think its just plain stupid. i mean i could understand failing if we could get up instantly after.


but as we can't................. what the hell is the point in having this skill. it makes you a very useless group member (dunno if youve ever been out on a serious 8 hour hunt then loggin and doign same next day) when you take mass wounds n everyone has to wait for you.


and by rights tka's set jedi straight. jedi use the force around them to do stuff weuse the force within ourselves. so by rights we should be the ones dodging lasers and they should be the ones moving lasers out of the way.


(^ off topic a lil) but what im getting at it is they wrecked a perfectly good skill. and i mean ive failed without bf whic his also fvcking dumb

I love force of will. I have used it many times and only seen it fail twice. You just got unlucky.


Whining to get an extremely useful skill removed is counterproductive.

I don't understand how anyone who has been a TKM for more than two weeks could not love the new FoW.

It is great. I would like a shorter timer...... but it works great.


I have used it several times, and never had a failure (except for timer issues).

Great skill! Fail about 30% of the time and the timer is DEFINATELY TOO LONG. But it is very usefull.

I've had few failures. I love it. timer needs to go lower.

I hate it and won't press the button. It serves no purpose for me... unless they changed it very recently?


When I saw it last it was about 1/4 no work, 1/4 work with so little use it was a waste... ie no health and wounds, 1/4 kinda work, and 1/4 bingo you are back and almost fine.


In other words it was 50/50 for doing much of anything. Most pvp has a deathblow on a macro coming in at you, and most high end mobs DB as you fall. Only usefulness in it is killing smaller things that don't db or medium ones that do but walk to you to do it. In that instance it may save you some decay I guess... but still coupled with the long timer that sucks.


Now if they made it so you could stand up from DEAD... that would be good enough to use...




I walk the path of the Jedi, the path of many professions (tm). It is not what I know that makes me who I am, it is what I have forgotten... and I've forgotten more than most.

Actually most npc's that DB you dont do it right away. Most of them stand around your corpse for a few seconds before they use DB. Also FOW before the patch was utterly broke, after the patch I have yet to see if fail and when it works its a free equilibrium to all the stat Pools. Now as far as time goes, sure I could say the timer is long but I have yet to take a dirt nap more than 1 time in a 45 minute time period so in essence the timer isnt a big problem for me. For those that want the timer to be set to 10-15 minutes what do you want the class to be unkillable? Anything less than the time period that they have set in place is purely unbalancing.

Ok heres just my insight to this skill...


If ure buffed and incap due to mind loss, this skill will save ur ass, and the ass of your party that depend on your skills...


Its currently a pretty powerful skill.. and a chance to fail is not so bad... However what bothers me is the 60 min duration... if it were 40 mins maybe..... cause its not an innate ability

Before I had TK master and these changes took effect FOW failed for me so much that I actually did a /bug on it because I thought it was broken. Sine I've gotten the +25 at master it rarely fails but I do have a variety of effects that occur depending on the roll I assume.
