Hardened Skin, when to use...

[Cylox Of Boreal]

Ok, ive had this ability for a long time now, under other namnes and stuff but i still cant for the life of me figure out when i should use it. When i tank?  I gotto build up some enormous hate on those things before i do that or they will go to other people and it wont really help anyway. Solo? Why the &%¤# do i need to stun myself 30 seconds? So i die slower? Well if someone got a answer for it i would be glad becouse i have never used it, and it seems like it doesnt matter if you use ur close mind ancient spell either since ur stilled stunned if you do. <div></div>

<DIV>The only time you shoudl use this while solo... is if you have like 10 seconds left until your self heal is back up and ready to cast... and you don't want to get hit that hard....  but still... it's best if not used while solo.   </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   While grouping or raiding this spell is best if used for a moment after you have a good firm hold on aggro ( like after using rescue) and you need heals to catch up.....   you can still use your single target taunt while stunned from this spell.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   Overall though, this is a combart art that is rarely used.   It is very situational.  </DIV>

<DIV>I use this skill in raids only. I am generally the offtank in my guild. I generally pull with rescue ..drop harden skin until the I feel my healers have me stablized then toggle it off.. and wait for the rest of teh raid to finish up the primary mob and move over on mine.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kainn ~ 70 Bruiser</DIV> <DIV>Everfrost ~ "The Horde"</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>Been there, Seen that, Been killed by it, Came back and kicked it's [Removed for Content]!</FONT></DIV><p>Message Edited by BigRed1 on <span class=date_text>07-11-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:36 AM</span>

only time i really used this skill was in SoS a while back, i was tanking, and all of the sudden we had 4 groups on us as adds. targetted and taunted like mad for a little while to make sure everything was on me, then hit the button <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> only one nuker died after the encounter was done <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

Raid saver on sooo many times<BR>

<DIV>comes in very handy if you put up intercede on another tank, pop your mit buff, and hardened skin.  once you've taken a hit for the MT, drop the hardened skin and resume dpsing</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can also come in handy when you know a crushing aoe is coming, and you don't have time to get outta range (or in cases where the range is long)</DIV><p>Message Edited by Maelwys1 on <span class=date_text>07-11-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:52 AM</span>
