This. The only constants for me are puncture, low slash, inner rage and GDB.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche1 -

Even that's not constant. If I'm the offtank on the Assembly General fight in vHoF, using the "fast" strategy of killing Capacitors and Calefactors on the terminals, there is no reason for me to slot Puncture.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

✭✭✭✭✭What if the calefactors reflect your range taunt?
But the OT doesn't grab Calefactors in the trench strat; the OT only stacks Capacitors on the terminal and will never actually get in melee range of a cap. Everything else is taunted by the MT. I've never slotted a melee taunt as OT doing the trench strat; I use the bar slots for guard and the ultgen vamp drain instead.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

pluckpluck✭✭✭As a DK tank, I have some skills I have all the time on my bar, but there are some other that depend of the content I am doing. It's true for trials as for dungeons. I do most of non DLC (and even DLC till dragonbones) with Lord Warden Dusk, but for the latest, I go for Chudan to spare magicka.
I also have to say that I am playing main tank in trials, so take my word as a main, not an off
First bar :
Pierce Armor
Inner Rage
Unrelenting Grip
Burning Embers
(one slot for Meditation/Heroic Slash)
Second bar :
Absorb Magic
Igneous Shield
Green Dragon Blood
(one slot for control, like Choking Talons or Time Stop)
(one slot for more health or ressource, like Spell Symmetry or Cinderstorm (but this last is very magicka consuming) or for Purge)
Ultis :
Magma Shell/Barrier + War Horn
In very rare situations, I sometimes play the 1h/shield ulti, because it costs nothing, I so get back quickly some ressources, aswell as getting a shield for 7 seconds, allowing me up to two heavy attacks for more stamina regen.
Oups, forgot one skill I tend to use a lot too, depending of my team. If there is a magDK, I don't care about, but if I am playing with only sorcs and magBlades, I then equip Engulfing Flames instead of control skill, to give a raw 10% more damage to fire spells. But tbh, this concerns dungeons mostly. It's rare there is no magdk in a trial run Edited by pluckpluck on October 25, 2018 11:09AM"The net is a waste of time and that's exactly what's right about it. "
