Aegis Rune Cancelling Redoubt (bad interaction)

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

The new Tank runes are cool but they don’t seem to synergize well with talent and are counter productive. Seems every time Aegis procs it just cancels Redoubt. I know they Aegis is exclusive and rightfully so. However you do still need to take 5 points of Redoubt to get down to Shield Mastery and want Redoubt.

Aegis by itself is trouble because if it doesn’t proc your dead. While Redoubt is more a safety talent. You get Crit it always procs providing mitigation.

I just think that perhaps Aegis shouldn’t cancel Redoubt or maybe we could have a better interaction between the 2. Since you still need both. Maybe Aegis will trigger if Redoubt is up but won’t lose stacks or count down till Redoubt drops.

Just seems weird having a Rune cancel 1 of your main talents you are putting 5/5 in that you still need.

Does redoubt also cancel aegis when its up?

Since they provide the exact same bonus, you can essentially consider it as simply refreshing the effect, it would be exactly the same if you got crit again while redoubt was up anyway.

In the end though, redoubt will be completely useless outside of qualifying for shield spec, because once you get 100% mitigation you’ll never be crit anyway.

From what I seen it can’t Proc if Aegis is up.

I suppose but it’s just remove all the stacks you had and Redoubt. Just wish there was some sort of synergy so there was uptime since you are investing in it.

Well, just as a note, aegis functions exactly how redoubt does in tbc, so with both, it functions almost as a straight upgrade, it just has 2 ways of proccing, and the procs just refresh rather than stack
