DRK and Tank Swapping

[Blim]

When you see Sophia do Cintamani (the 3 consecutive AOEs) (white aura), that is your indicator to prepare for a tank swap. She will do Hand of Wisdom (Tank buster) (green aura) next.

Turn on your GRIT when she is doing Cintamani, there is more than sufficient time for your GCD to be ready for you to change to tank stance. This way, you are ALREADY in tank stance before you provoke.

Another thing you do during Cintamani is to PRIME your enmity combo (hard slash -> power slash). Do the 1st 2 hits during Cintamani, and when the green aura comes out, PROVOKE followed by POWER SLASH and an unleash. There is absolutely no way you won't be able to grab aggro off the OT/MT.

I play a WAR main and I will pause attack for a half to a second or just stop attacking during the brief pause after popping cooldowns to allow easy tank swap transition.

Most of the time, tank swaps are messed up from tanks who only think of DPS / trigger happy people who just only think of attacking and nothing else or tanks who don't understand enmity generation of tank swap mechanics.
