WAR help

[Kniteroad]

Hey all, I am a DRK main and will often play GNB if I want a bit of a change but I'm currently leveling my WAR, am 77 and after the live letter I will more then likely main it in EW. I'm having a bit of trouble with mitigation at the moment and understanding my inner release windows. On a tank buster I typically get a mitigator up and then use my self heal right after but I'm not sure how to correctly use the ability that increases your max health. Should I be using it before a big pull? On big pulls I'll get rampart up for example, pop inner release, nascent flash, enrage for the nascent chaos hits and go from there. Sometimes I feel like I'm burning too many cooldowns and then I'm left a little bare for the next pull. I feel like I'm playing a bit too frantically in comparison to DRK.

it depends on what content you're doing. For example, in dungeons for trash mobs I'll rotate 1.) rampart 2.) vengeance 3.) thrill of battle + reprisal. In each of those sets I'll usually use nascent on pull when damage will be at it's highest then on CD as needed. I usually like to also keep an infuriate charge for chaotic cyclone + nascent when my healer is struggling which can bring you up to full health especially if you do big pulls.

For TBs, i instead use raw intuition in combination either rampart or vengeance instead of using nascent after the damage and rely on my healers to patch me up. in this instance I'll use thrill of battle if it's a particularly gnarly TB or i might pop thrill of battle if i know a lot of damage is about to go out to the whole party and make it a little easier on my healer. i also like to use raw intuition or thrill of battle consumed by shake it off to create a nice shield for those big party damage instances.

That's what I personally do. But it's both gear and playstyle dependent.
