Suppressed Rage Line Can be your Friend!

<p>Suppressed Rage line after 68 levels so far, has been just a skill on the bar for some time. But then I found a really creative use for it. If you love using the Offensive stance, but you are getting your butt kicked even with Mastercraft and such. (I get almost destroyed by Drachnids in KP) do not fret! Use your offensive stance and pop Suppressed Rage (Or whatever name it is for you) and it will make a really big difference in your recieved damage and will hardly effect your damage output. This is a strategy I just started testing and it has worked pretty well so far.</p>

<p>Yeah it works pretty well, no doubt about it, especially once you get the TSO-aa enhancement for it, as well as the one in your berserker tree to remove all of its penalties.</p><p>That plus Havoc and it's follow ups(Anarchism), also good to throw up, for offensive tanking.</p><p>Another I like to use when offensive tanking, especially when dual wielding, is the Hunker(Wall of Madness) ability, as I myself, went for WIS-endline, which enables you to use this ability with zero penalties on it as well, so it comes in rather handy - 1327 physical-mitigation + a chance to slow targets for 73%; I like it, works wonders in very grim scenarios.</p><p>Hold-Rage + Anarchism + Wall-of-Madness + Adrenaline = Temporary Iron-Man --- Especially if you throw a good shield on top of all that. Roughly a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>2300 physical-mitigation / 49 defense-parry / 20 shield-effectiveness / 5.5 per-minute-proccing-</strong><strong>slow / 50% damage-prevention</strong></span> enhancement for a decent little chunk of time(30-45 seconds).</p><p>                                                                                                <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" /></p>
