Seems like blue dps is still king so DRK will rule the savage

Ya'll talking about tank stance like Shirk doesn't even exist. I never take off tank stance, just use Shirk as OT when my aggro starts to get too high. It's a free oGCD and you will never need it as OT but it's better to just use it when you don't have too many oGCD's to use than to worry about using 2 GCD's and moving your burst window rotation to fit in 2 with provoke and tank stance. Aggro is a nonfactor in this game anymore and it hasn't mattered since 3.0 stance dancing.

Or you can like... turn off your tank stance so you don't have to bother with Shirk.

All it takes is for you to be a better DPS than your partner and you WILL regain aggro with the tank stance on, something you do not want. I have done this in ShB as every tank at one point or another, simply because my co-tank was not good at doing damage. Take no chances, guarantee an easy swap with tank stance turned off.

Just use Shirk, You will not take aggro if you Shirk as you watch your enmity bar go up. Guarantee to prevent you from ripping aggro from the MT, I've had the same issue with my DPS getting that high and just use Shirk. You don't have to, but find it easier since I have a macro to auto-cast it on the MT without changing targets, it's just a matter of which method of enmity management you prefer and is all the more reason for enmity generation to be nonfactor in this discussion. Enmity was brought up in the context of being a superior tank. Enmity doesn't really effect that all that much anymore.

I just prefer a tank swap taking just 1 oGCD with Provoke instead of 2 with Provoke + Stance. As a GNB main I have enough double weaving to do to not want to add another into a necessary mechanic if I don't have to.

I personnaly vastly prefer using 2 ogcd once to swap rather than use one more often AND stay focused on the aggro bar to be sure not to take it. But you do you.

I watched the interview on stream, and there they said it was very specifically about the problems of healing Living Dead without having a WHM to Benediction it.

I would rather have any other tank class when I'm a healer. Darks die way to fast and very hard to keep alive.

Your average DRK will drop dead after roughly five seconds of not being healed.

Lies. We die 10 seconds later cause we panicked hit Living Dead.

That was good bait OP
