How to Spooky Paladin - DRK Tanking Talk

[FreelanceWizard]

Personally, I'd keep Foresight and swing Mercy Stroke and Awareness in your fifth CC slot. My logic here is that Mercy Stroke's got a long cooldown, is only situationally useful by definition (only works if the mob is near-death), and doesn't really do that much damage. Foresight, conversely, is a straight-up defensive cooldown that can help keep you alive and is effective whenever you need more survivability. Awareness is, as others have noted, also a very situational skill, so it seems to me that your CC line up should be Provoke, Convalescence, Bloodbath, Foresight, Mercy Stroke/Awareness, with Provoke in slot 1 and Mercy Stroke/Awareness in slot 5.

 

That's just my take on it, though.

 

I have to agree that Rampart would've been a lot better than Foresight, though... alas.
