Tikon Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I’m using the excellent hybrid lightning spec described by Garricus with 2/2 in improved static barrier. When I pve, should I keep the static barrier up as standard? Or should I use it when it’s needed? Obviously it depends on the encounter to a certain extent but what to raid leaders expect a sorc to do as standard? My own feeling is that it should stay up as much as poss: the first duty of a raider is to stay alive, or so it seems to me… thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daellia Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) As a dps, throw it up if you expect to take damage, but don't go crazy with it. If you're running anything but a Lightning Effusion/Sith Efficacy build, regular use of it will put you OOF pretty easily. I generally throw it on myself if I know a damage spike or AoE is coming, but otherwise leave it to the healers. Just remember that while dead dps does zero dps, if your shield goes it's duration without you taking damage, you've essentially wasted 65 Force and a GCD for nothing.
