    The Turtle skill is pretty useful too.

    Devour is good since it decreases phys defense and increases threat level as well.

    Devour's absolutely incredible. I'm fairly certain it's what got me Jewelscalen. We didn't kill it until the second or third try, the one I would fly up and use devour for.

    I wasn't tanking. But it was like b:shocked when I first started using it, cause it's a LOT better than armor break, or whatever the humanoid one is.

    Yup, constantly doing Bestial Rage, Devour, Surf impact, and then it's usally time for Alacrity, and I'm back to full chi. Devour is also awesome when I'm not the tank, because it saves the tank some chi if I'm spamming it and hits, and I can sunder to bleed the boss/heal myself.

    why waste chi with devour, it doesn't help that much with aggro and it's usefull only with lots of bms as DD, and if u bring bms as DDs u are a noob or have a bad guild

    Actually its not a total waste of chi. 50% pdef reduction is plain awesome. And while its no fleshream, it does help maintain aggro if the boss is already attacking you.

    Besides, between the chi recovery skills (beastial rage, alclarity, frighten, surfimpact), the venos' helping hand and now the genies (cloud eruption anyone?) chi is no longer in short supply. I devour as often as I can nowadays.

    Yeah maybe, tho in my guild the most common DD in TT is the venos' pets b:chuckle.

    Devour is extremely good. Just how insane it is of course depends on your squad setup, but more damage is more damage. Only useful when squading with BMs? How about a couple archers?

    Waste of chi? I have no problem spamming flesh ream *and* keeping the boss debuffed about 99% of the time without running myself out of chi - again, it might take a bit more effort than "press flesh ream key, take a nap, gg".

    This skill is universally awesome, especially @ lvl 10 (obv). TT, RB, TW, WBs, FBs, dueling, you name it. Devour it. b:thanks

    I agree with the above, but it has become exceptionally harder to spam these skills since bestial rage has been bugging me... I don't even bother anymore because if I need chi, i need to use bestial rage, it it might bug me

    Hmm, that's the first time I've heard someone name Bestial Rage as the specific cause of the new "barb bug". That does make sense to me though, it's always happened to me while tanking something epic. Originally I thought it was a problem only within instances (FB/TT/RB), but it's happened twice now during open map world boss runs... thanks for the heads up, I'll have to watch how I use Rage now :(

    OK Tiger skills if your going untamed: Required to tank
    Simply put:

    Max ShapeShifting intensity (for every level) -> Invoke Spirit (59) 90% dmg redux for 20 sec (I sometimes use this to buff during a long boss fight but it reduces dmg taken so it lowers your Repair bill).

    Flesh Ream (Duh)- The Aggro Skill

    Alacrity of the Beast (Cancels spell casts) Get this to lvl 7 (that's fast enough to stop most bosses from casting their big AE's and/or DD's) All Barbs should practice timing this regardless of path you take since it cancels channeling usually a circle will appear under mob that's when you cast.

    Bestial Rage (Chi filler - when tanking always use this skill it increases amount of chi gained per hit wish the dev's would make it passive)

    Poison Fang (Extra 30% more wood dmg per hit) *if doing regular form switch to tiger cast this and this stays for 15 min.

    Talk is Cheap/Roar (AE taunt)

    Around LVL 60 TT you start running into AoE mobs that's when
    Frighten becomes a Great skill... Every level reduces the AoE damage of the mobs Love it and use it.

    Side Note: Devour adds aggro at lvl 4 it's greater then Any other Armour breaks/ Phys Defense Debuff. Increases your Crit rate and your Damage (also known as Threat Level) And reduces their Attack level for 4 seconds. (Amount based on skill lvl so -10 lvl's - Well Sage/Demon = -15 attack level.)

    But by lvl 94 you should have accumulated enough SP to have all your skills.
