Why am I not seeing more shirk?

And that 100% parry chance only applies to when you're being smacked from the front, which makes using it pretty much useless in a big pull when you can just as easily use Vengeance, Rampart, and Thrill of Battle for mitigation and sustainability.

You're not wrong that Shirk is, essentially, useless in regular dungeon content, but I'd assume folks don't want to have to constantly open up that Skill tab just to swap Shirk and Awareness depending on which content they're doing and on their choice of Role Actions.

Of course, having both at the same time eliminates this issue, I suppose.

What I'm saying is-raw intuition is a free cd you can use in dungeons to decent effect on trash mobs. But you need awareness to make good use of it-so swap awareness out for shirk, since you won't need shirk in dungeons.

My solution is just to not play war in dungeons lmao, pretty much only play drk in dungeons now and then war for my static. Though I know a lot of my healer friends just use a macro to swap out protect for something else after they've applied it at the start of a dungeon, so that could be a solution.

I understand perfectly well the purpose of using Raw Intuition and Awareness together. What I'm arguing is that Raw Intuition was more useful when it provided stacks because that frontal parry + negation of incoming crits, while still providing mitigation, was not nearly as reliable, especially in the big pull scenario you mentioned in which you'll have mobs on all sides of you.

I'm also aware of your solution. My point is, as I've said, that people most likely aren't going to want to constantly swap Shirk and Awareness for one another depending on which content they're doing as it is much more convenient to leave things as they are no matter what you're running.

I mean, I've never disagreed with you on anything here, I just think that if you wanna play optimally, you should expect yourself to think about this kind of stuff. I've forgotten to switch out too, it happens, no big deal.
