Shirk is amazing. (Ethics)

If you're not taking shirk in 8 man content, I'm actively judging you while begrudingly doing my enmity combo to compensate for your lack of consideration, empathy and insight into tank mechanics. Be a teamplayer.

I'm the same way. I try to explain it to people, but some just won't add it. Then when I take the boss back to MT it, I'm calling the other tank names (to myself) as I'm spamming my RoH combo in Shield, instead of spamming my GB/RA combo in sword.

It is really as simple as this. If you are not using Shirk, you don't understand it.

Honestly, I don't think the people here that are supporting it are doing it enough justice. It makes things just so clean, all the way around. Tanks will establish hate right away and allow them to straight up go ham on the boss. If you have amazing DPS that start to get close on threat, use it again. In fact, even if the OT doesn't voke and JUST uses Shirk, you are still getting a threat increase that can at the very least make things more comfortable. It's great for tank swaps, but even in a non tank swap situation has tremendous advantages.

SHirk is the most lowkey and overpowered ability currently in the game, bar nothing else.

With Shirk you can swap with dps combo instead enmity combo even when doing that on dps stance and that is pretty awesome imo. Trolling with it is additional bonus.

Also you don't need shirk in dungeons so feel free to swap it out when not doing 8/24man content, i swap between shirk and awareness depending what stuff i do.
