  • Heals yourself and Restores additional health when used against Burning enemies
• Stroke Flames [3] heals yourself over time and damage nearby enemies over time
  • Burns enemies
• Burnout [4] is your Group Breakout ability. It provides immunity to control effects to you and up to seven teammates.
  • Heals yourself and it is Usable while Controlled
  • Great for instance mechanics where group members specially Healers and Controllers are vulnerable to control effects
• Immolation [5] grants you Shield protecting you from damage for a short time.
  • Nearby enemies that attack you will be Burned taking damage over time.
• Burning Determination [6] Engulfs yourself in focused flames, healing yourself. Incoming attacks will trigger additional healing up to ten times.

1B

• Engulf [1A] is the main tank superpower for getting NPCs aggro
• For some instance mechanics, Fire Tanks will need to use Fireball [1B] to taunt a single target (bosses or sub-bosses). The effect is more powerful and will not be broken by a standard Tank Role taunt
• If you want to have both superpowers Engulf [1A] and Fireball [1B], you can replace it with Backdraft [2]. However, this is not recommended.

FIRE TANK Tips

• When engaging battle, start with Engulf [1A] , Stroke Flames [3], or Immolation [5] to inflict Burning to your enemies
• Backdraft [2] can be a lifesaver when you are being attacked by more NPCs that you can hold. It will knock nearby enemies down giving your healer a few seconds to rapidly heal you.
  • Use it wisely and be careful on making nearby enemies resistant to its knockdown effect
• For those instance mechanics where 2 tanks are needed. Communicate with your tank partner and coordinate who will be using the Single Taunt ability.
  • Having both tanks with the Single Taunt will let the group vulnerable for NPCs to attack them without the tank being able to drag multiple targets
