Was just wondering if there was a “good” window for last stand, i know there is a talent that makes you block for x amount of time etc.
So with the talent do i use it when i know im about to take a lot of punishment or do i use it on cd to smooth damage intake?
Also, without the talent do i just use it as an “oh sh!t” button or is there a more tactical way to use it?
just use cds slowly otherwise you wasting your cds because you won’t get damage until 4 seconds but after that your hp its going to crash immediately
For example:
Use avatar and shout ( with short time defense cds ) good for big pull of weak adds
use shield wall and shout alone and ignore pain for casters adds in the worse case go for last stand ( but it doesn’t matter because your last stand just blocks physical damage not mage)
use last stand for not dying
tbh last stand talent Bolster for some situations is not good. i mostly taking %10 hp
Youre are wrong on SO many levels. You want to use last stand as often as possible, you want to use avatar as often as possible and you want to accompany avatar with demo shout on almost every pull. The only CD worth really taking into consideration when to use, it shield wall.
Only thing you need to take into consideration about last stand is, that it doesnt stack with shield block when you use the talent “bolster” (Which you should be using), therefor you never wanna use them at the same time. That being said, the talent is pretty much a “must have” simply because it allows you to have 100 % uptime on shield block on almost every pull.
Your post was not only not informative, it was spreading wrong information aswell.
