    Default More info on glorious stand?

    Benefit: You may expend a turn attempt to make a glorious stand against your enemies. For a short duration of time, you gain DR 20/epic, take reduced damage from elemental and negative energy, receive double healing from positive energy, and are immune to secondary effects of attacks such as 'wounding' or 'vorpal'. Each time you take damage, you gain the effects of a Cure Light Wounds spell.

    This is the best I was able to find looking it up, anyone have more detailed info? Does it slow movement? How long does it last? How long is the cooldown timer? Is the CLW affected by the double healing effect or your own healing amp gear/enhancements?

    The CLW effect has been removed, there is no movement penalty, though if you are in defensive stance that will still apply normally, it lasts not long, maybe 20-30 seconds, can't remember, and the cooldown is fairly long, several minutes I think. It's still useful, and can save your butt in a pinch, but it's not really game-changing.

    If your going 18+ paladin anyways, it's nice, but its not exactly worth going out of your way to get.

    Glorious stand gets a bad rap, but if used properly I've found it's actually an awesome ability and I've saved many a wipe with it. There are two primary advantages:
    1) DR 20/epic
    2) Healing amplification +100%

    Primarily here's where I've found it to be helpful:
    1) You're in a raid or major boss beat down (ex fighting Harry in part 4 or 5 of the Shroud) and you get a major lag spike or for some reason you're not receiving any incoming healing. Pop Glorious stand on, LOH on yourself and for 30 seconds you can hold your own which is typically long enough for the healers to catch up.
    2) If you're suddenly overwhelmed by the bad guys, typically when your low manning a quest (ex. just 2 or 3 people). If things go to heck, use Glorious stand to give you a 30 second window where you are darned hard to kill and you can easily use a LOH to bring yourself to full health.
    3) If you're soloing you can conserve your LOH by waiting until your HP are rather low, then use a Glorious stand then a LOH to bring yourself back to full.

    Lastly, I believe it has a 5 minute cooldown, not 3 minutes. I haven't timed it in a while as there's no counter, but 5 minutes seems right.
