More attack speed doesn't change the fact that it's slower than everything else.
There are a lot of attacks in HM dungeons that you can facetank, especially with damage reduction on skills.
I've never said it was never going to be used. I'm just saying that it's worse than doing your normal skill rotations.
Rain of Blows; Reduces Damage by 30 percent produces 1 edge, 7 second CD, basicly the only skill that reduces damage and gives edge
Pounce; reduces damage by 50 percent, gives no edge, combos into RoBs, 10 sec CD unglyphed
I like to see vids of you face tanking HMs using RoBs, maybe possible in full plus 15 gear, popping pots on CD and an healer spamming you with heals, other than that not believing you can.
Pounce;
You can easily facetank a couple hits of Pahoegar 4-hit combos with decently rolled gear while he's enraged. Healers don't have to spam heals on you at all. Their job is to make sure that you deal the most damage as possible. They don't even do anything on Pahoegar so healing the occasional 50k is whatever.
Lancers and Brawlers use Onslaught and Bull Rush to facetank mechanics too. You can do the same.
I never said you shouldn't use ToB ever. That will be useful during certain attacks where you would otherwise be holding down block. I'm saying that it's a loss of DPS over using normal rotations, which it is.
But you will incorporate ToB when you would otherwise block.
That's literally what I said, except it's better to just block instead of ToB on short attacks so you can cast BD faster.
So in instances such as DFA on CD, you "could" ToB instead of Evasive for the free damage and BD proc?
