    What can be Parry/Blocked in t10?

    Hey, doing this on PLD for the first time, and had considered whether I should save Bulwark for adds, or of it could do something with Critical Rip. Only done this on War, and didn't pay much attention, and just used inner beast each time.

    Everything except for Crackle Hiss can be Blocked or Parried, as far as attacks which target the MT only go. So, Bulwark can be a cooldown for Critical Rip. Just hope it actually procs the block

    I'm not too fond of relying on Bulwark for big hits myself. Crit Rip doesn't happen often and for the rest of the fight, it's mostly fluff damage. Depending on how fast your group pushes the phases, you'll only get 2 crit rips in phase 1 and another 2 in phase 3.
    During phase 2 (or adds phase), however, it's a slightly different story. When the 2 sons and 2 daughters appear, the prey mechanic comes with it. This means that one healer is occupied for ~4 seconds or both healers are occupied for ~2 seconds (varies depending on how it's being handled).
    Bulwark has more value to use for the adds here, simply for the fact there are two targets attacking you for a lot of fluff damage, rather than needing it for one hit which may or may not be blocked. It's still RNG based, regardless. On average, it should help the healers out a little bit here. Also, if bulwark fails to proc on Crit Rip and it happens to kill you, it's all over.

    For T10, I usually use Forsight, Convo, bulwak on the add (for both set, it overkill on first add set but I don't really have anything else I use them on before 2nd set of add anyway lol.)
    Our group only got 1 Rip on Phase 1 and 3. so it may be different depend on party.

    Also keep in mind that Wild Charge is magic damage, so that move cannot be blocked either.

    If the DPS is good enough, you'll probably see only ONE critical rip on phase 1.
    One or two on phase 3.

    Part of why I don't consider it a major cooldown

    Yeah definitely useful but not dependable. I try to stack it with Rampart or use it offensively.
