I'm no tank so maybe I'm missing something obvious. But I've been wondering which shadow skill NB tanks are using to trigger Shadow Barrier. Especially after they removed major fracture from surprise attack.

    Dark Cloak? Heals based on Max Health and gives you Minor Protection

    Currently For a tank, you use Dark Cloak, because it lasts 8 seconds, Heals you every second and provides minor protection for the duration. If you have 5 heavy armor, the passive lasts like 12 seconds. I never used Veiled strike on my tank to get that passive to activate in the past, but instead used Refreshing Path which also lasted 12 seconds.

    Does Dark Cloak indeed give minor protection? It doesn't show an icon for me and googling on it suggests it's been bugged for two years.

    That is a great resource for ability information. Yes, Dark cloak provides Minor Protection for the duration. You may have to turn on an option in game to show buff/debuff icons if you have not already.

    I have it turned on. I don't see a minor protection icon on the standard in game buff tracker, not on the character sheet and it doesn't show on S'rendarr's buff tracking mod either.

    Edit: it's mentioned on the dark cloak icon. I was looking for a separate icon.

    they were saying protection was bugged for a while. by ' for a while' i mean a year or two.

    i was wondering if it got fixed but apperantly not.

    Unsure. I tested dark Cloak on a single enemy. The Minor Protection does not show on buff/debuff bar, nor the character sheet, however I still took reduced damage while it was active. Not quite 8% but close.

    When you hoover over the dark cloak icon on your character sheet it says 8% damage reduction. I was expecting a seperate icon named minor protection.
