    When I'm DRK MT in Thordan Ex - Just as Shield Oath Holybladedance is coming up, I will use Dark Arts + Dark Dance + Foresight to save on my stronger CDs I will also use this combo for the first Heavenly Heel to save on CDs for later. For Sword Oath Holy Bladedance I will only use Shadow Wall if I have faith in my healers. Otherwise it will be both Shadow Wall + Shadowskin.

    Overall, I will use Foresight combined with another skill that has a shorter CD timer.

    It makes it look like I'm doing tank things instead of writing that spur of the moment Haurchefant Fanfiction idea I had.

    Does Foresight get better with better gear or is it always a 5-6% equivalent?
    It gets better with better gear because the Defense value on that gear keeps going up.

    I combo foresight with vengence sometimes and if used with path and IB active it's like nothing hurts at all. But I use it on trash mobs or if it's too late to dodge AOE I use it to mitigate some damage. It's better then being bare naked. I combo it with rampart or shadow skin. The higher your defense the stronger it is. Not saying much since others lowers damage reduction. But with better armor it should scale better.

    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.
    Like with all my other CDs I don't keep Foresight on cooldown but I do use it, like when there's 3+ melee monsters or if I've been at ≤75% health for a while. As a healer I've ran with tanks that seemingly keep everything on cooldown, even when only fighting 2 monsters, and then be CD-starved when fighting bosses. So as a tank I try to use it when it matters, not when it doesn't.

    I'll usually tack it on the end of Awareness after Bulwark falls off.

    As others have said, mitigation is mitigation (so why do we hate Parry again?), so it's worth using, and it will have the most effect in situations where you're taking a lot of physical damage.

    I tend to keep at least one CD running most of the time. Foresight is one that I keep almost entirely on cool down though, since it can mitigate a fair amount. I would NOT use just foresight on any pull with teeth though.

    I keep it on cooldown. I usually activate it going into a trash pull or at the beginning of a boss fight.

    I like Foresight just as equal as my other CDs.
