How to play at level 30

Your tank loop

Press the first one that is ready.

  1. Enrage For rage · every 60 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 60 sec, for rage.

  2. Lacerate Keep on target · 15 sec

    Keep it on the target; it lasts 15 sec.

    2% of your damage
  3. Maul Spare rage

    Spend spare rage on it.

    14% of your damage
  4. Auto attack All the time

    Your weapon swings on its own. Stay in melee range.

    85% of your damage

The first 30 seconds

When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first. Enrage is off the global cooldown, so it has no line and goes alongside.

In the gaps
Maul
All the time
Auto attack
