Stepping into raid Tanking

[JackBlaine]

Thanks for all your advice!
V1S went smoothly but is pretty simple. Just gotta get the timings for those swaps on V2S next!
I will definitely be sticking to Defiance for the practice phases, no need to over stress the healers!

Nice!

Regarding v2s:

For example, in o2s, you can provoke during Evilsphere. It will hit the original tank, then the boss will swap to you.

I always swapped with my co-tank immediately after he got the 2nd stack so that I'd take the evilsphere + follow up cleave (if you pop Vengeance like 3/4 through evilsphere cast it will last through f/u cleave). Not sure which is better but it looks like you could do it either way. The important part is to not get 3 stacks and also make sure to yell at your party not to be standing in front when he cleaves after tentacles :3
