Tips
Acquisition Tips
- After obtaining the totem, it must be used in order to learn the Mighty Guard spell.
Other Tips
- Due to its significant reduction to damage dealt, this action should only be used when
tanking, or if extra mitigation is needed to survive mechanics as a non-tank. - This action greatly increases enmity generation, similar to tank stances. It is thus recommended to not have this effect active if the user is not tanking, or does not need mitigation.
- The reduction to damage dealt is nullified when
Basic Instinct is active.
