Knight Valor outside party

I've seen lots of GFs with KV active outside of partys, even at PE and using it on dragon encounters so my question is, does KV effect applies to characters even when they're not in party with a gf?

    Yes same with ITF.

    Edit:
    That said likely not a good idea in a HE as it does little to boost your score. Well KV might help you on IO if another GF manages to take dragon aggro. For HEs I really recomend all single-target, VM, and maybe enhanced mark + lots of aggrivating strike if there is another GF in the instance. Basically I shoot for lots of aggro ups and as much DPS as I can muster. Griffin is good for HE's because you can build up charges then dump them all in Menace.

    KV outside a party is decent for a protector build as your DR get's buffed slightly. That being said, for solo play, slot something else to help you do damage - you're not needing to protect anyone.

    I don't really need tips to play a GF and I don't use those powers (only KV in partys), I was only curoius about other GFs using it outside party. That said, either, the powers or the tooltips are broken since they claim to be party powers... meh...

    Well it is 'allies' and in a HE it basically considers everyone in you AOE an ally. In IWD it does seem to consider faction....

    I swear people just use it these days cos they hear it's "needed" to be a good tank, along with ITF. If you ask me they are situational skills that are not useful/good in all fights. I do think also they should a) have a limit as to how many players it affects or b) only affect party members.

    With regards to using it on dragon HEs, I do wonder why its the cause of me losing aggro/threat on the dragon sometimes, tho I dont see how since it only gives you extra threat when others are getting hit a lot. Personally I only use it versus certain dragons, namely the one in Graveyard and Whispering Caverns due to the large amount of damage they can deal to people near to it.

    After the reflecto glyph sos kv era everyone thinks looking blue is smurftastic. It was underused before, it is overused now. I think people leave it on because they are too lazy to slot something else, they are worried that people will get mad at them for not using it, or they are at an HE and want to help their team or build aggro or contribution.

    Nope, ITF does not effect people outside of your group.
