Tank Swaps how to do it right?

[kukurumei]

Swapping at times causes me a lot of trouble.

I have my defiance up I combo the hate level until my hatebar is as white as the main tank and hit provoke and usually follow it with few overwhelms or a combo if I need to focus on a single target.

Many times the swap ends up in a complete clusterf*** and I would like to know just what am I doing wrong here.

Coil 1 and garuda extreme are the hardest for me because the hate needs to be focused on a single target at times.

Please help I want to be better!

As a tank in general. gaining hate is usually (shield oath)voke+offgcd+hatecombo
More advance you should do you 1st attack that has no threat aka Heavy/fast then hold on to the next 2

Loosing hate is usually stop using hate combo a bit early, so when a voke happens you're not on a hate combo. (and if you want to be safe lose defiance turn around etc).

Warrriors in general can get it easier. Voke+stun almost always spikes hate enough to pick it up. only if the other tank is being stupid do you not get it.

To help again do a heavy (hold that) voke+stun -> finish BB combo.

Loosing hate is a lot harder then gaining hate. You are thinking of it in reverse for wars. Often it's the one loosing it that needs to do better (yourself included)

Start going into storms path combo early. If you know you are on 2 stacks and you swap at 3, stop using using BB combos early. When you swap there should be no competition. At worse, you turn around, at best nothing will happen, cause the threat change happens instantly.


For garuda/t1 that has no swap. stick with Heavy (hold on to it) when time comes (like a sister popping) voke+finish off your BB.

In fact in garuda ex, you shouldn't even need to voke much, saving it for the spiny.
