People, please.

When I see "lol @ (insert weaker cooldown here)" what I read in my head is "I never use cooldowns except for every 90 seconds when rampart is up, or if i have 10 HP left maybe I'll hit Sentinel. I'm so funny my jokes are good".

Foresight and Bloodbath have their place and if you aren't popping them while tanking the specified type of damage (physical, etc.) and all of your bigger stuff is on CD or being saved for a future big hit, you're fundamentally tanking wrong.

I don't think you're appreciating the sarcasm in these responses. This thread turned out to be hilarious (which was not the intent, but I heartily approve).

Almost everyone here knows to use defensive cooldowns. At the same time, we have all encountered tanks who, for whatever reason, won't use them. So the replies are poking fun at those people with one of the oldest forms of humor known to the net: communal sarcasm.

No need to be a buzzkill.

EDIT: I really hope this doesn't kill the thread. I've been enjoying it and would hate to see it die.

I guess I just don't get the humor :X They'd be much better butts-of-jokes if they weren't all good cooldowns for their intended uses (trash damage, autos, supplementing some stronger cooldown) but none of them fall short in those particular areas of use so.. yeah. =/

When I think of butt-of-a-joke ability I think of like Haymaker or something. Or CC Savage Blade/Skull Sunder.

A benevolent healers thoughts when the tank doesn't use cooldowns right.
