So I tanked a few attempts last night on Chim for the first time. I was taking double attack the DK was taking break. I noticed on recount that I was showing insane savage defense absorbs. I'm wondering if this is a bug because I can't see how I would be doing 16k HPS with massive absorbs. It was my understanding that SD was limited by attack power, which is limited by vengeance. Of course I'm getting full vengeance from every double attack, but that is limited by health so I'm guessing it's a bug.
Yeah, that happens me too. It's like it's absorbing an entire attack that would otherwise kill you according to the log, or something along those lines. I havn't looked at exactly what it is, maybe someone else can explain.
It's a bug.
It counts the "prevent Death" from Fickle's Mixture as an absorb.
On another note, are DK's better for double attack? I remember reading that their blood shield is based off damage taken in the last 5 seconds or something, and that they can effectively proc a shield for 90% of their HP after a double attack sometimes.
Also, the "break" tank only needs to be above 10k, right? He's not taking any doubles.
When we had a DK we liked to use him for break stacks because he can effectively be ignored by heals altogether (every time he takes a swing he can just death strike to over 10k). Even at 4 stacks of break he could heal enough that no healer had to touch him ever, so the double strike tank just got a full time healer and 2 for the raid.
As to the SD thing, it's as someone already said, in the combat log it just showed that there was an absorb for some amount, but doesn't show the source of the absorb, so when you have parsers they have to guess where it came from. When they see you're a bear they just attribute it to you.
Druids are best for double attacks. Highest avoidance.
