    Let me know if you need more proof. I can dig up some of our DPS's videos or get more screenies of achievements.

    We just tank swap there every time. Resilience/Shroud is more of a convenience for me, since then I don't go flying. We can actually tank the Dismantlers indefinitely, though normally our DPS melt them before they can swipe in the first place.

     

    We don't actually use a tank swap. We let our DPS tank them until the first strong swipe(if there is one). They don't hurt enough to absolutely need a tank on them. Besides, our healers get extremely bored so we like to give them something to do.

    Draxus

     

    Best cooldown: Battle Readiness/Overcharge Saber

    Worst cooldown: Resilience/Shroud

     

    • Resilience/Shroud off the tech DoT whenever you get it. Or, if you don't trust your DPS, save it for a Mass Affliction. This cooldown is also useful for ignoring the guardian's Slam attack if, for whatever reason, you simply cannot move out of it.
    • Resilience/Shroud during the "Strong Swipe" cast (or immediately before) to avoid the debuff. You should tank swap here anyway, just because it's more pro, but this allows you to cheese the mechanic a bit. Very useful in emergencies (e.g. off-tank dead and having to tank both Dismantlers)
    • Deflection whenever your health gets below 30% and you're tanking Draxus. Doesn't help much on any of the trash, so don't burn it there. The exception to this rule is explained below.
    • Battle Readiness/Overcharge Saber immediately after the first agro dump in the third Draxus phase (double Corrupters in the back). This phase is the highest damage phase in the fight, and chances are you have a few lightning adds on you at the same time. BR/Overcharge will do a much better job here than Deflection. Use in the same position in the very final phase, to mitigate risk. These phases also tend to be the longest (assuming you don't delay anything), and so it doesn't hurt to use Battle Readiness/Overcharge Saber early and resort to Deflection or Adrenal later if you're still on the boss and need propping up.

     

    Random protip #1: you can get 100% uptime on Phase Walk in this fight by always refreshing immediately before Draxus appears.

    Random protip #2: Force Cloak before every appearance of the boss except the second one (with one corrupter on each side) and grab agro with your AoE taunt.

    I use my Shroud/Resilience on the first wave of subteroths. AoE taunt them all and hold them in the OS/XS and hit my shroud right before the first one dies. You've got to know how fast your DPS can burn them down, but it works well. Its back up by the time the Dismantlers are out in worst case scenario.

     

    I would provide a video on my timing, but the only one around is a foul up where I Shrouded a poison just before the 1st wave ><.

     

    Another worst case scenario is to Force Cloak if you DO take a strong swipe (never put your back to a wall). Better to let your DPS take a few hits than eat a death.
