Losing focus or getting unlucky, again, usually results in *me* dying... and alas, I don't get the extra chance at life that my trusts do

For something like DI or WKR where trusts tend to get 1 hit killed at random this seems like it might be kinda handy.

Except in both those events trusts can be freely recalled during combat as often as you want (recasts permitting anyway, but you should have enough haste/FC nowadays for that not to be an issue)

I'm not sure what you're fighting but I like to keep hate on my tank trusts so they're generally the first to go if something bad happens. This is a nice safety net which has already saved my bacon several times in the last week.

tank trusts


ewwww

The only time I *ever* use these is against something that will charm (and in many of these cases, charm will be the only threat that they pose so it's not like my trusts are going to get killed, unless I get charmed), and against these I have to intentionally hold waaaaaaaaaay back or else they will never keep hate. Otherwise, I tank better than they do, and usually take less damage to boot thanks to being able to utilize -pdt gear.
