never once in the 32,000 times i have cast it has it worked

Obfw Striker · 04-25-2006, 12:22 AM

Thank You - I was wondering if it was just me.

dozier · 04-25-2006, 12:24 AM

Yes, I have seen it work.However, it *did* not work when I jumped off that cliff last evening.. dreams of a Pally safe fall crushed.. heh.

Leawyn · 04-25-2006, 12:26 AM

I don't think i've ever cast it. I forget I even have the spell lol!

Rarlin · 04-25-2006, 12:46 AM

Works fine for me. Because of this spell I was able to take TWO hits from Naggy when I tried to solo him. /flex

I have never scribed it....

Heheh i have the adept 1 i think of it and wish it actually was useful. To me the spell would rock if it actually was changed to where it wiped all agro from you like a feign death, a 30 sec delay on the self rez and viola the group/raid has a player that can start rezzing the rest of the group. As it is now you get a reduction of hate, stifled for 12 secs, and a small portion of your life back with a 10% hit to your gear. If they didnt want to do the delayed rez on you, then have it to where if you do no action when self rezed, the mobs cannot attack you. AS it is now i have a revival sickness on top of the other restrictions on this spell, makes me want to find the destroy option for it... SMILEY

Akro · 04-25-2006, 12:21 PM

The normal sholud be an utility to tank, a non reset agro spell. the could be used as a life guard in tanking. Now dont works and when works i've never used it except for a pull to another tank ...

Jam · 04-25-2006, 12:28 PM

Works every time for me..though it is completely useless in groups, saved me a few times soloing though in very close fights.

HeHe yep, same for me, It has worked for me in a solo spot, but never in a group, when It would be nice to actually work.

Thats great for raid not that good for soloing though SMILEY

I was lucky and got that as a Master 1 and every single time I've hit it, it's brought me back (not always helpful though as in a raid wipe I have Amends on a wizzy and he's still blasting away to kill the Mob and I've shot up the Hate tree and killed again without even drawing my sword.)

I love that you keep all your buffs when it happens but I could do with it dropping Amends though SMILEY

Pathin Merrithay · 04-25-2006, 09:47 PM

I made a few posts about the unreliablity of this spell, but I'm afraid they went largely ignored. To be honest, I wrote it off as utterly useless months ago now. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...But it's not worth the rare to make an Adept 3. Hope you get lucky and can pick up a cheap Adept 1 if you feel the compulsive urge to scribe it.

Sir Alex · 04-26-2006, 05:19 AM

I have used the spell 3 times and it has worked all 3 times got the ad3 version and it really saved my butt alowing me to finish a fight i would have other wise not been able to due to a bad pull on my part soloing one day SMILEY

mryankee · 04-26-2006, 12:21 PM

this spell has failed many more times than it has succeeded for me. only twice has it brought me back to life. all the other times i have to revive. very unreliable spell in my opinion, not worth upgrading but better than nothing.

demolition tank · 04-27-2006, 12:46 AM

had it work like.. once

tu · 04-28-2006, 08:57 PM

works for me alot ( when i use it lol) i wish the heal was better however

Ultim · 04-28-2006, 10:45 PM

Divine favor works, you just gotta die within 2 minutes of casting for it to work... and yes it is kind of like the pally FD coz if you look, when it works you loose 25 threat postions!!! this lasts for 12 seconds!!! its not as effective as FD, but close enough

Comparing our divine favor to Feign death is like comparing turbo prop plane to a Leer jet... SMILEY

They seriously need to redo this spell to be actually effective. dropping 25 positions on threat apparantly is not as effective as complete agro wipe from feign death. Plus unless i am looking at it wrong, feign death doesnt stifle you for 12 seconds and leave you with a 1,000 health to your name. If you are going to stifle us then we need a full health bar and at least partial power bar. If no stifle then i could live with the rest. In a battle 12 seconds is a outrageous penalty to be denied our spells/combat arts. This spell would be nice if it had a dialog box asking if you wish to revive, so if the mobs are not leaving just yet and the group wipes you can give them time to go back to their spawn points.

Jonaroth · 04-29-2006, 12:30 AM

this spell is so worthless.. and i really have trouble beleving that it actually works for you guys. I have been in SO MANY raids, and whenever we are about to wipe, i always press Divine Favor; never once have I came back up [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]?

Obfw Striker · 04-29-2006, 12:39 AM

I have to agree with Jonaroth - It has never worked for me in a pinch - when I needed it to work - when it should work - and I have always cast it within 15 seconds of dieing - so the 2 minute timer has absolutely no bearing on it working or not working in my experience.

I will say that I have never used it solo - so it may work then.

The one time I actually saw it work, I never even hit the ground... There was a sound almost like a heal had gone off, I saw a flash of text stating that the spell had gone off (in the battle spam, not across the top of the screen), and the mob left me - for about 2 seconds, then came back to finish the job.Bottom line, I've not had it be useful even once in the hundreds of times I cast it.

this is true, it is not as effective as FD, but it can do the same job depending on how you use it, if you are training a zone, you cast it (while running) just before you die and when it does its magic, you keep going, a bit stifled, but free of all aggro (i tested it)... provided that your group knows how to train you are fine. I figured it out by chance really... I just wish they would quit giving us "substitutes" for the real thing.

Sk's fd is a 15 min recast too

Ultim · 05-01-2006, 01:51 AM

u have to die within the time period SMILEY

its kinda [Removed for Content] how u always tend to die just after it wears off tho SMILEY

Felshades · 05-05-2006, 06:14 PM

how about this one? world of warcraft, paladin spell.. divine intervention. this spell kills the paladin, target is rooted/stifled, aggro removed, dropped out of combat.. aka you cast it on a friend in group/raid and then die, the target of the spell is removed from the fight for 30 seconds. use on a priest. group wipes, mobs kite to spawn, priest ressurects. oh yeah, and divine favor there also was a 100% crit on heal, with a change to give it no mana cost i belive.... three minute reuse. rest of the stuff about the class sucked tho... dps was lower than templars in this game for a while there.. temps got theirs upgraded sorta.. wow pally? aw hell no, i do more dps with bare fists.

jebewa · 05-05-2006, 06:41 PM

It has never worked for me. Not even sure why I still have it on a hotbar.
