Ah yes, the vital guide to any tank. Like rampart, arms length and reprisal
Hang on this can't be right all the tanks I've been with never use these. They must be custom abilities
I use Arm's Length and Reprisal in every pull that I can use them in. Severely reduces damage taken. It's free mitigation without using your regular mitigation skills, and Healers love that shit.
Remember all the post asking for help regarding how to clear EW tank role quest? 😁
I know the chances of it happening will surely be so low it isn't worth hoping for, but one of these days I'm gonna queue into an extreme and we're gonna be in a bind. The other tank will be dead, and we'll be down to one healer at 1/4 hp, the whole party nearing a wipe. I'll be nearly dead with five seconds away from LD, and I'm gonna do the unthinkable. I'm gonna purposely shirk on the highest DPS with the intention of using their health bar as mitigation.
It's honestly my greatest wish. To kill someone in my stead be shirking just before a tank buster comes out sounds like the greatest troll imaginable. Far superior to "Rescuing" someone into Amon's Curtain Call. And the best part will be that I can just brush it off as resourceful thinking.
"A dead tank holds no enmity"
How dare you, I am doing an excellent job keeping this floor's attention.
The sound of an enemy being slowed is soooooo satisfying.
Can't wait for the Blue Mage skills guide!
(I can't even tell if I'm serious or not.)
Something to note, once you learn the role action, you can use them at any level.
You left out the most important use of shirk, which is transferring aggro to a dps/healer pulling for you. Best if you macro it to say "you pull, you tank" at the same time 😝😝😝
New mage role action next? I have no idea what sleep spell is for.
The thumb is a showoff and I'm so jealous.
