Tank Role Actions: Quick Strategy & Discussion
Rampart
“Take less damage, and get more healing for TWENTY SECONDS”. Yeah, it’s not thar powerful, but it can help with multiple mechanics due to its absurd duration. No need for me to go on and on about how useful this is!
Low Blow
Great for soloing and dungeons, rare for raids. a 5 second stun works wonders for mass dungeon pulls.
Provoke
Integral for raids, and important for dungeons. Puts you at the top of your targets enmity list, BUT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW UP or else you’ll lose it again. No tank worth their salt should ever fumble their Provokes!
Interject
Interrupts are rarely used in raids, but very important when they are. It’s usually tanks or ranged that “silence” things. Don’t sweat binding to a useful button, as it doesn’t come up very often.
Reprisal
Amazing for raids. Use it to help mitigate tank busters, or other AoE nukes. Coordinate with your co-tank and healers for a cooldown rotation!
Thankfully Dawntrail buffed its duration! You might be able to tag two mechanics.
Arm’s Length
Godly skill especially for tanks. Preventing knockback definitely helps positioning in raids, so keep an eye out for the best uses of this.
Shirk
INTEGRAL for many if not all raids. Allows for smoother tank swaps, used directly after your co-tank Provokes.
Servers are up so uhh… I’ll add this later.
