Anyone at lvl 70 can help us to test reprisal usefulness? Because i don't see a use in that skill.

Question about awareness: does awareness nullify enemy direct hits? Are enemies even capable of this?
Provoke
Rampart
Conva
Reprisal/anticipation for 4 man content
Shirk/low blow for 4 man content
Yeah they do, big mobs on Zurvan can crit for ludicrous ammounts and could almost instakill a tank if both mobs decided to crit at the same time. Awareness helped a lot by avoiding those unwanted situations, at least for 20 seconds
Thanks for the help. I knew enemies crit before (i.e. T9, diabolos hollow, Zurvan, etc) but I wasn't sure if direct hit applied to the enemies. If the enemy's crits have been made to hit harder on account of direct hit, then I think awareness is a must.
On DRK, in dungeons, I use: Provoke, Reprisal, Anticipation, Rampart, Low Blow.
On DRK, in endgame, I use: Provoke, Reprisal, Anticipation, Rampart, Shirk.
I think it's pretty safe to say that you will ALWAYS want: Provoke and Rampart. The remaining three are interchanged depending upon what you'll be fighting.
"Show me who a person's friends are, and I will tell you who that person is."
To me the first three are required. The fourth is job related and fifth is situational.
(-needed, +job use, *situational)
-Provoke
-Rampart
-Low Blow
+Reprisal (for Dark Job)
*Convalescense, Awareness, Shirk, Anticipation, Ultimatum, Interject
Now lets say Warrior
-Provoke
-Low Blow
-Rampart
+Awareness (for Raw Intuition)
* Ultimatum, convalescence, Shirk, Anticipation (redundant), Reprisal
Paladin However has Shield Bash so Low blow becomes situational and can be replaced with Convalescence.
-Provoke
-Rampart
-Convalescence (does it apply to Clemency?)
+ Anticipation (extra damage reduction)
* Awareness, Ultimatum, Interject, Shirk, Reprisal, Low Blow
It depends on what i do!
Dungeon; provoke, Anticipation, Rampart, Ultimatum, Low Blow
Raid /ex primal: Provoke, Rampart, "Reprisal for tank buster moves", Convalescense and Awareness.
Rampart and Provoke are the two must-haves in my opinion.
From there Reprisal and Convalescence are applicable in basically any encounter.
Finally, I switch between Anticipation for Dungeons and Shirk for 8-man content.
If an encounter requires a Stun or Silence, I'd check if I can replace Anticipation or Shirk, otherwise I would likely replace Convalescence with them. If there is an auto-crit phase like Diablos in Dun Scaith, I'd throw likely swap Convalescence with Awareness if I need Shirk; otherwise, I'd run it as my fifth Role Action.
