    “being less involved”? Did you want a easy route to Eden choir gear? Since GNB has a much simpler DPS rotation than DPS. Their aren’t any easy paths I’d suggest do some MT stuff in 60s then do Raids than some extremes than try Savage
    It honestly depends on the raid tier, this raid tier we are currently on is probably one of the least involved for off tanks, but that still doesnt mean theres not responsibility.
    E5s: Raiden "Add", invulning a centaur charge
    E6s: Forced Tank Swap Buster (although the the original tank can take aggro back almost immediatly after)
    E7s: Randomly targetted tank buster and add phase kiting
    E8s: Forced swap busters and auto's targetting both tanks in some phases

    So even if there is less to do than other tiers, theres still a fair few off tank duties, espeically if you're supporting the MT with aurora and such.

    At this point its better to just have the OT take both centaur charges. 2 cooldowns and a heal shield is more than enough to survive the charge you don't invuln ( I know cause I take both charges for my group). Its better for the MT to save thier invuln for sticky situations and just have the OT have charge duty.

    We play it the same way in our static: OT takes both charges as it isn't really an issue to survive even without inv-CD.

    For GnB as OT: Best make a macro for Aurora and Heart of Stone that targets the second player in your group [a.k.a. your co-tank in 8-player-content] so you can always easily give it to your MT if you don't need it for yourself. For example:

    /micon "Aurora"
    /ac "Aurora" <2>
