Awareness

I tend to pop it alongside Sentinel, which is also "Chance based" mitigation.

?????????????????????????

How is a flat 40% reduction in incoming damage chance based? Unless you mean like... its possible to use it and it wear out before something big hits you.. but that's just down to knowing the boss rotations well enough.

Pretty sure he means Bulwark, which increases Block chance.

That. Apologies.
Posting from work, and had a Friday Brain Derp

Incidentally, I've been looking rather lustfully at the new Onion Shield's stats. When I get one I *may* end up taking it over the Allagan Round Shield, need to see how the extra Block chance stacks up.

EX Titan, and EX Ifrit are both relevant pieces of content that can chunk you with a crit auto attack. Awareness has a pretty amazing duration, and can be kept up for almost a whole duration of "tanking" in these bosses before you swap. Had a tank get downed by crit auto attack + 1 stack mountain buster on EX Titan the other day. Was pretty funny.

So it is confirmed that it DOES allow critical heals to occur now? Any proof or info on this claim? Because I would finally love to start using it instead of when the healers are dead and I am hoping to stay alive long enough for the boss to die haha.

So for coil its better to have Featherfoot instead of Awareness ?

[Sunah]

Sadly paladins cant use featherfoot.
