• Enrage heals back a portion of damage taken for 8 seconds, after which you suffer from Rage Crash causing all healed damage to instantly return
  • When Enrage is active you also gain Fervor, increasing your Defense by 50% while not blocking
• Rage Crash is what makes most Rage Tanks fail when its damage is not prevented.
  • It is imperative to master its timing and prevent its damage with special superpowers like Eviscerating Chain or Remorseless Recovery

• Use Ragebringer [1A] to drag your target and nearby enemies
• Use Without Mercy [2] to knock down nearby enemies. This is very helpful when multiple NPCs are hitting you and your tank needs a break
• Ire [4] is your Group Breakout ability. It provides immunity to control effects to you and up to seven teammates.
• Severe Punishment [6] grants you the Enrage, healing back a portion of damage taken for 8 seconds, after which you suffer from Rage Crash causing all healed damage to instantly return. It also activates the Fervor effect.
• Remorseless Recovery [5] allows you to receive healing equal to a portion of your damage dealt to enemies, capped at a percentage of your Dominance and Restoration. It also significantly reduced the damage caused by Rage Crash
• Eviscerating Chain [3] is your lifesaver from Rage Crashing. While performing this attack or combo, damage caused by Rage Crash is ignored

• Ragebringer [1A] is the main tank superpower for getting NPCs aggro
• For some instance mechanics, Rage Tanks will need to use Rage Blast [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 Ragebringer [1A] and Rage Blast [1B], you can replace it with Without Mercy [2]. However, this is not recommended.

4A

4B

• Players can choose between Ire [4] or Redirected Rage [4B] according to the situation.
  • Ire [4] is great for instance mechanics where group members specially Healers and Controllers are vulnerable to control effects
  • Redirected Rage [4B] grants a protective Shield which is great for providing protection between the cooldowns on Severe Punishment [6]

RAGE TANK Tips

• When engaging battle, start with Severe Punishment [6] and Remorseless Recovery [5]  together to share cooldowns
  • Severe Punishment [6] grants you the Enrage effect making you virtually invincible for 8 seconds until Rage Crashing
• For taking care of Rage Crash you should use these superpowers mechanics:
  • While the effect of Remorseless Recovery [5] are active, damage caused by Rage Crash is significantly reduced
  • While performing Eviscerating Chain [3] or combo, damage caused by Rage Crash is ignored. Use this superpower only for avoiding Rage Crash
• Mastering Rage Crash will prevent you from dying and increase your survival chances against powerful Bosses
• Without Mercy [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
