I think this ability hits way too hard and is too often…anyhone else?
Also, what is the mitigation i’m supposed to use here?
I’ve died from this abilty THROUGH shield wall and last stand. Ignore Pain and Shield block are always up …so again…not sure wtf this abilty is expecting me to use
- Shield Wall
- Last Stand
- Tempered Potion
- Spell Block
- Spell Reflection
It’s like DK scourge strike, it does a mix of physical and shadow dmg (in 2 separate hits that land at the same time) so basically everything you have can reduce this dmg in some ways.
Magic block lasts long enough to cover at least 2 or those, spell reflect works and is almost always up for this iirc, having built up lots of ignore pain works. I see that you use Best Served Cold instead of Fight Through the Pain if I check your armory, that’s a mistake, reduce magic dmg is 7 to 8 million times better than revenge dmg. Your vers is abysmal, you have too much mastery and crit, so fixing these 2 things will get decent base dmg reduction on that tank buster.
hey thanks for that! will try it 
I am pretty sure i was just following whatever guide said to do this or that. but i’ll def. try the magic dmg thing.
Often he likes to subjguate after i’m still trying to position him after vociferious indoctrination and that has killed me more than I care to admit.
What was pissing me off was it hiting me for more than 75 percent of my HP THROUGH IP at the very least. I have been making more an effort to hit SR right before he does it and that does help though I wish it would hit him just as hard
I suggest using the other talent instead of impenetrable wall where you get two stacks of shield wall. When you have two stacks up. Start with shield wall. If not start with spell block. Use spell reflect on every subjugate. It should be up almost everytime.
just wanted to report back a few things
I went ahead and switched the talent but was still getting smacked pretty hard regardless.
I went back into some of my logs and realized that it was registering my abilities AFTER the casts nearly every time.
So i have adjusted timing on my abilties and am pre-casting a fresh IP and/or one of my bigger CD’s and it’s smoother now. I think you just have basically a nano-second to respond and that was my issue.
Most tankbusters like this one are cast on very reliable timers, so pre-casting defensives is a good habit to get in to anyways.
