Why Shirk?

[aleph_null]

Haven't used it yet but my initial thought was it would be awesome for tank swaps..

Tank A has hate.
Tank B vokes
Tank A skirts tank B.
Tank B now has a pretty good enmity lead.

Or alternatively give the main tank control of the swap.

Tank A has hate. Tank B vokes early.
Tank A however keeps hate eats the tank buster and then skirts tank B to transfer hate.

Seems like a pretty strong skill really

Take it a stel further:

Tank A pulls
Tank B vokes
Tank A shirks tank B
Tank A vokes (preferably after a few moments to utilize tank B's spare mitigation cds)
Tank B shirks tank A

That's effectively duplicating a fraction of the initial tank's aggro, which is never a bad thing since both tanks can use less aggro combo.

Shirk right now is probably for world prog groups since i've been doing the new primal extreme none of them bother doing shirk except for me so i guess if your casual player you can just bring provoke just fine.

If your attempting world prog/savage content bring shirk.

i disagree. this is the most powerful sill they gave tanks hands down, it is at this point a mandatory skill to have in any 8 man content and tanks should be forcing swaps to fully utilize how broken and op it is. doesnt need to be world 1st or savage t use this. also may help fix stupid since i keep running into a bunch of brain dead tanks staying in grit/shield/defiance after a swap.

Shirk is for any fight involving tank swaps, not just for world prog. Shirk is amazing for enmity manipulation. It makes aggro a non-issue. It's a fantastic ability.
