Easy question - Is Willpower worth it? [mod edit for clarity]

So many conflicting advice out there! Simply, is Willpower worth maxing out, or even having anymore since the updates? Or would the extra points on D be better spent elsewhere?

1. your champs are boss material in aw
2. you run suicide masteries
besides that willpower isn't worth it anymore
Recovery really only works well with max WP imho. PB is not worth it at all, it extends stuns by 0.02 seconds max. SYG can be useful. Salve is worthless as well. So is it worth 15 points for not a lot if WP is not worth it to me?
I could use the saved 12 points getting MD, or maxing out attack masteries?
PB extending stuns? huh? It just reduces block damage.
I used it WP, Coagulate and Suture when I was new and now I wish I just saved my units and got better sooner. They're a crutch keeping people from getting better.
Any Health you can recover makes all the difference when you need it. I don't care how skilled you are. No one avoids all Damage 100% of the time. For people who haven't completed Act 4, it helps. Saying it's a crutch is a bit ignorant.
I bought it prior to them nerfing it so I got back 2200 units. Best deal ever.
On 2 you'll regen fairly well if you get hit with two debuffs. Lots of champs have bleed and armour break so getting hit by a debuff is fairly common - it's not useless like so many people here are saying.
That said, if you're at the very very top tier, your points are better spent elsewhere because you're definitely going to want to not get hit at all. For most players, though, it's a worthwhile investment- and you can always change it later. Mastery set ups are meant to change so the one that works for you now doesn't have to be the same one you use in a years time.
If more players were able to play without getting hit at all then Luke Cage would be a god tier champ...
It just doesn't trigger on additional stacks.
It triggers per debuff TYPE. Sorry for confusion. I was meaning per debuff regardless of whether it's stacked or not.
It's fine as is. Let's say you're up against ww2 and get hit with bleed, fatigue and stun and have rank 2 willpower. You'll regen 1.8% health per second and gain 300 armour rating. That's enough to offset the damage.
That's the point of the mastery.
With that said, at higher levels champs do more damage so less effective - but that goes for all masteries.
That is exactly the point. Unless you run suicide masteries, special events/nodes now prevent WP to be useful. Only regeneration champs are, so use your mastery points elsewhere.
If you need WP you aren't good enough at the game. Spend more time playing and less on the forums.
It's just about playstyle and champs, as with all masteries. Willpower can be super helpful when facing, say, Cable for example. It's a good counter to degen.
I'll sometimes take an armour break on top of farltigue or weakness or and use it to heal; it helps provide some safety against abom, mordo, iceman. It's not stupid to say willpower is useful in certain situations. I'd rather have points there then glass cannon, to be honest.
Also, if you're going to comment 'git gud' - please be the player that never uses pots or revs. Ever.
And, as I said above - masteries are not meant to be permanent for the entire stretch of the game. Use and alter as needed. Can't be going into 5.2 with dexterity and resonate, for example.
