From this point on, all Tanks should be carrying a crucial mitigative Lost Action, Lost Aethershield. Boss 3's and Boss 4's raidwide both will inflict a bleed, and the potency of the bleed is determined by how much the initial hit deals. The more you mitigate, the less HP drained per tick. In our roster, our Main Tanks are not assigned to be on Aethershield, but to be on backup, all Tanks should have it their holster.
Before you set up your pre-entry loadout, check on your assignments. You should prepare two Lost Actions that will be used for Trash 1, Boss 1, Pure Essence of your Role and Resistance Reraiser. If you are using Lost Reraise (check here for more info), buddy up with someone and replace that duty action slot with a relevant Lost Action.
(Def) Lost Aethershield - Reduces damage received. [mandatory]
(DPS) Font of Power - increased damage and critical hit.
(DPS) Banner of Honored Sacrifice - Increases damage while inflicted with HP drain.
(Utility) Lost Sacrifice - guarantees a raise with a 20% chance Doom may not be inflicted. [Pure Essence]
(Utility) Lost Dispel - removes a buff from the target. [check assignment]
(Utility) Lost Perception - to scan for hidden traps. [check assignment]
A pre-entry holster is a setup for Tanks to prepare ahead. Essentially a player should bring actions that can carry them into the fight for a longer period. All Lost Actions and items are cracked at the start of the instance before the in-DRS cache.
This holster is compulsory for all raid members. Loading this holster before entering a new instance ensures the application on Pure Essence and Reraiser before approaching the Cache and relevant Lost Actions.
Yes you may, as long as one of your duty action is a DPS buff.
Teams with two Tanks are assigned for duties in Minotaur Trash and Boss 4 encounters. While you are taking up a role in the later fights, it is good to carry along a spare Lost Aethershield, should your sub-Tank die.
x1 Lost Font of Power to renew once your charges run low.
x1 Lost Perception + regular item Antidote, for Minotaur trash.
x1 Lost Aethershield as a spare.
ProShell for the alliance.
This holster has additional slots to bring Banner of Honored Sacrifice or Lost Aethershield to serve as a backup.
Two teams have a solo Tank lineup to give space for 5 DPS to fill. As such, you are the crucial Tank carrying Lost Aethershield for your party. Your secondary ability should be Lost Font of Power for maximum DPS uptime.
x3 ~ x4 Lost Aethershied. You may need to replenish this very often.
x1 Lost Sacrifice. This is very situational, discuss with your MT when you are using it as your team relies on your Aethershield.
x1 Lost Font of Power. This goes without saying much.
x3 Resistance Reraiser. You shouldn't be using too much at this point.
ProShell. For the alliance.
Lost Aethershield do take up some space, so allocate your slots accordingly.
