Knight's value = suicide

This ability is simply suicide in dugeons. I did not actually test this in PvP, but in PvE is simply brutal. I know half the damage of the other players go to GF and the block it can not absorb even 10% of the damage redirected.
I prefer to use the frontline surge than this <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ... Anyone can use it properly in PvE?

    Knight's Challenge? It's fantastic for boss tanking. Especially before you're massively geared. Having a solid DC makes it a very useful skill.

    Knight's valor - Defend your party, temporarily intercepting half of all damage They would have taken, and then builds threat based on a portion of how much you intercepted.

    My bad, thought you meant KC. Should have actually read the entire post. :)

    This ability is supposed to save your bad group,but your bad group kills you.Worths nothing,even if you need some extra threat

    for low HP GF its suicide
    but for 30k+ HP GF its not

    if you want to use it make sure that your fighters recovery is ready it will save you from death

    Knights of valour is a terrific skill for helping generate threat . its effectiveness of course can be measured by the type of group you're with. the best method I found to use this skill is attacking smaller groups of ads with supremacy of steel up and a high life steal score. of course it helps if your group knows not to just stand in the red areas. just kill can mean death for any type of GF but I'll be willing to bet that it's the conquerors that have the hardest time with that

    As long as you have 30k+ and Iron Warrior and low risk of multiple players being one-shot at the same time, Knight's Valor is good for kiting. Epic Frozen Heart endboss is particularly useful case for it. By contrast, CN's Xivros fight is risky and generally not worth it due to the bosses fast, almost one-shotting aoe if there are any melee in the group (also the fight is easy if CW's just do their job).

    Otherwise I would never use it during normal dungeon runs due to the high risk of it bugging and therefore becoming unusable.

    Use it for an easy kitting mode at the end of frozen heart, 2nd boss of Karrundax.

    I love KV. Pop KV, wait 4-5 secs to pop IW, then Supremacy of Steel to give back some of the hurt. I've pulled a group out of a fire more than once with KV, it's a dungeon essential for me.

    If your group is using standing pets this will also back fire on you as you intercept the pet damage as well and pets do not move- FYI, I guarantee that is the problem you are having. If you are running with a group who all have stones/cats you will see better results. Also to caviate on fondlez post, if you are fighting a boss/mob that uses a very fast AoE insta kill don't use this ability, such as the storm mages in MC or 3rd phase dragon in MC. Also like caexar said using this ability in conjunction with SoS w/lifesteal, esp if you ahvehte Priest of Kelemvor is Godly
