One warning, using Disarming Counterblow at every opportunity will leave you power starved very quickly without other talents to increase power generation.

thanks i`ll get to work on my macros for tanking.

I dont know how you guys min/max and put all this together, but i`m sure glad you do.

I hope SWTOR isnt going to be this macro managed...I never understood why the devs go all out with skills only to be brought back together for a 1 click ability in a macro.

I just mash buttons right now..got tons to pick from. I`m sure each ability does something I should know about...but for now...my mole wacking is working now that I have the basics.

Nautix gave me a crash coarse on the abilities that define me as a tank, the agro getting abilities and the ones to pull with, I was using a bow before that :) I know Nadda about being a tank here, but slowly getting the idea. Give me a EQ Tank or a AOC Guardian and i`ll run circles around bosses!

Until the other day I was sprinkleing salt and pepper on my group for a mob feast  :o
