should i drop awareness/IR for second wind?

i have flash provoke, covalesece.

I personally let the wildcard slot flit between Flash for dungeons and Second Wind for any Trial or Raid that Flash wouldn't have a use in.

Awareness is a great safety net for Raw Intuition and Internal Release is useful for helping with burst threat. I would say both are useful enough to always stick around.

I'm guessing this is on a WAR, and I would say that you could actually drop Flash for Second Wind since it does no damage and you should be able to keep agrro well enough without it. I personally don't have a lv60 War, but I'm pretty sure you can't use it very often in the first place since you have a low max mp and no way of mp regen like PLD and DRK. Convalescence, Awareness, and Provoke are must haves though, as they are all extremely useful as a tank.

Definitely don't drop IR.
Awareness works well with Raw Intuition, it guarantees you ll parry from the front (crit ALWAYS bypass parry) as well as side/rear auto-crits, though the duration difference means you have a small vulnerable window.
Flash is probably the best one to drop, since it is pretty situational.

Of those I would drop Second wind. It's not that effective unless your running a str build, it has a longer cd than Equilibrium. But they do have their uses. In a raid fight with no adds drop flash for sw, in dungeons flash is great because a) you don't need a target B) can use while pacified and C) can use it to help recover TP. Second wind IMO is kinda meh, cd is twice as long as equilibrium and for only 1/3 of the potency.

I wish CC skills were tied to gear sets

Voke/Conv/IR/SW/Awareness

or

Voke/Conv/IR/Flash/Awareness

I personally think Voke/Conv/IR/Flash/SW is best on A2S, since you can just RI the Jagd that doesn't get killed and sit in Deliverance, then it'll be back up around the last phase again. Flash + Awareness is safer, though.

Never replace IR. For solo content you can replace Voke or Conv with Featherfoot, but... usually not really necessary.

The only time I recommend having flash is if your in a long fight and you need to be pick up alot of adds that spawn through out the fight since it would save on TP.

dropping IR on a post 3.0 warrior is bad.. we have crit up on abandonstacks too;not to mention our gear has ALoT of crit. Even if it on the defensive side Berserk IR Inner Beast 6 sec start a combo... inner beast a crit is a massive increase now that critical damage has been reworked meaning, critical HP and uh Equilibrium? I've done alot but Holmgang Berserk i/r equilibrium is gonna crit ME (my build) for around 12k


edit: I use flash ... it grabs attention and when you are pacified its golden...

[Kaisinel]

Awareness is useful as auto attacks in raid content can crit.

IR is DPS. Warrior is the strongest DPS tank at this point.

Flash is useless on WAR in raid content honestly, dungeons maybe some use but never had to actually use it. I dunno what your endgame goal is tho just giving my 2 cents.

Whatever you end up doing, dropping IR shouldnt be one of them
