Does anybody still use this? Ever since I found out it only reduces physical damage by 5-6%(?) I've gotten to a point where i barely ever use it or i forgot it even existed. So if anyone still does use it, when and how do you use it? I'm honestly curious.

[Shikiseki]

I usually use it during trashpulls and between tankbusters. If the boss is purely magical, it's useless but so do some other tank skills...

[SpookyGhost]

Damage reduction is damage reduction. Use it.

Generally you just want to keep it on CD, sometimes it's worthwhile to save for certain phases but generally you won't need to.

I honestly can't tell if its doing anything but I keep it on cooldown anyway. I think someone mathed it out and because of the way it scales, activating it is like putting on one more accessory. I'm not sure what ilvl you need for foresight to be that strong though.

I use it all the time, pairs nicely with blood bath and berserk on trash pulls.

I mean, with that mindset, why bother with Protect? Or any damage mitigation? Everything adds up. A tank that uses his CD's vs one that doesn't bother is worlds apart in difference when you are running through content.

Does anyone know the scaling on Defense VS mitigation?
Does Foresight get better with better gear or is it always a 5-6% equivalent?

I use it with vengeance and bloodbath for big trash pulls. It gives my healers time to fire off a few salvos of Holy.

I use it as an anti-RNG cooldown or for times when I'll be taking a little extra damage, e.g if I get targeted by hypothermal missles in A1s or in thordan ex when tanking the 2 knights and mine is in sword oath stance.

These are some nice ideas i'm seeing here. I'll start experimenting with Foresight more. Thank you.
