Talk:"Brace Yourself!"

overpowered?
there goes the shock warrior

It's targetted (not AoE), and it has a 12 second recharge. Doesn't sound unbalanced to me.&mdash;Aranth 18:22, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

Combo
Not anything spectacular, but Brace Yourself trigger on Desperation/Drunken Blow, making for a small spike. If a paragon uses this on a warrior and they use their attack with a hammer, without any other targets nearby (brace yourself hits a random target), you'll spike for ~150-160 raw damage from the hammer attack alone. Since you set Brace Yourself instantly, you can contribute yourself as well. Merengue 01:05, 28 October 2006 (CDT)

Hero Use
Can heroes use this effectively? I could see them being godlike in throwing this around.. but, are they?
 * They don't pre-prep well at all. Heck, they won't even use the appropriate shouts when the situation has already come.  My paragon hero refused to voluntarily cast "We Shall Return" ever.  I'm not sure on "Brace Yourself!", but I don't think they'd have any more success with it than Prot Spirit, which tends to not be great.  However, this is all speculation.  Perhaps somebody can provide actual backing. Merengue 23:03, 16 November 2006 (CST)
