Hi there. I've been gearing up my DT lately to be better at tanking HM's and hopefully manage to solotank at some point.
I'm having some issues with the defensive part of my DT. I seem to take alot more damage than similar geared characters, which makes me suspect I'm doing something wrong.
My current gear:
T1 helmet, wrist
T2 pants, gloves, chest, boots
General's Armguards of the Watchtowers
Wolf's belt of the grasslands
Black Dragon Cloak
Grim Grey God magic damage/crit ring
Dreamer's Keepsake w/ magic damage gem
Eye of the Watcher w/ magic damage gem
Blade of the fallen king
Gorgula's Shield
This gives me a total of 51.4% mitigation
I'm using Sidar's general tanking build:
Click
Rotation:
LL V - MB V - Asfof IV - LL IV - MB IV - BfA V
UB is cast whenever there's room for it or if MB is interrupted.
I always keep Zone of Gluttony up and I try to cast asfof to keep the buff. I use Soul Barrier when I take heavy damage and Cunning Deflection if there's a big hit incoming.
AA's:
Pressing Strikes 2
Decisive Strikes 3
Elusive Nature 1
Empowered Irritate 2
Vitality 2
Void of Madness
My main focus is to train PS, DS and EN to get crit and critigation.
Is there something I'm doing seriously wrong when bosses in dungeons like flames, vortex and palace HM hit me like trucks?
