Hello! I'm currently wanting to expand my kit in terms of what classes I can play in Savage and Ultimate. I'm pretty shite at healing because I'm prone to panic, so I decided to just stay in my comfort zone with melee specific classes, and tanks as a priority.
I've been doing Savage since Alphascape was current content (though I didn't clear O12S until the Echo was added). And I cleared Titan by, I'd like to say, week 8 or 9? I'm definitely not a fantastic Paladin, though I'd like to think I can reliably pull numbers as a Paladin.
But since my static started prog for Ultimate, I've noticed my utility is a little stretched. I don't have the secondary tank cooldowns like the others do, i.e. Dark Mind, Thrill of Battle, Camouflage. Rather I have Cover... and it wasn't particularly useful this raid tier. As far as I can see, it has no application purposes this tier unless used as an "oh shit, gotta save the healer so they can LB3" or "oh shit the off-tank died in E3S, gotta shield the person eating autos."
So I wanna start looking into other tanks! I know the general tank tips, using your short-cooldown abilities during auto phases, positioning adds/bosses near each other for AOE moves, etc. But specific things for the other tanks. Like when is the best time to use Fell Cleaves versus hitting Onslaught? When should I be using Esteem/Fray or should I summon them on cooldown? Do I need to save up two charges before I use Burst Strike outside of No Mercy windows?
Those are just sample questions, of course. I'll most likely stick on Paladin until I've gotten comfortable with the other tanks since I don't wanna hinder my team at all. But I figure starting sooner rather than later is best.
