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.

You can only use it on other allies. 213.84.52.71 09:45, 21 April 2007 (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)
 * I did THK witha morgahn that apparenty had this, but if he did he never used it, even with those damn giant stomps. &mdash; ~ Soqed Hozi ~  16:54, 23 May 2007 (CDT)

 * Comparing dog shit to cat shit doesn't make either of them not shit. --DEATHWING 16:04, 23 May 2007 (CDT)


 * what you do is watch the enemy, if you see a known KD causer running at a party member, hit them with this. It's like monking, see wheere the damage is coming from and prevent it. Thats how I onk uninfused people through missions like THK without using spirit bond. &mdash; ~ Soqed Hozi ~  04:23, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Its a shame I can't put it ony myself :\ 7 August 2007 (CDT)

Grapple
This skill doesn't work with Grapple even though it should. Reverted edit of User:Pulpulpullie, as this is not a stance and therefore doesn't end when using Grapple or activating any other stance - it just doesn't trigger. -- Sai Qui 14:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * whoops! indeed, added the same note to the grapple article. -{[ PUL ]}- 15:20, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Grapple spike would be hilarious though. --DEATHWING 13:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
