Tank specialisation · Tier C in Mythic+, 0.2% of the sample
The order abilities first landed across 4 top-parsing pulls, with the median time into the fight. The percentage is how many of those parses used the ability at all — a step at 100% is the opener, one at 60% is a choice some players make.

Per minute rather than totals, so a long fight does not read as a heavily used ability.

Updated 30/08/2026. These are observed casts, not a recommended priority — the order reflects how often an ability came up, which is not the same as when to press it.
Secondary stat split across the 20 best-geared synced characters. Averaged per player, so one heavily geared character cannot define the answer for everyone.
Only 20 synced characters play this specialisation so far, which is too few to report pick rates from.
A percentage drawn from a handful of players is noise wearing the costume of data, and a reader cannot tell the difference. This fills in as the background sync works through the ladder.
