Tooth and claw

How is this used? I read somewhere that it's low priority compared to frenzied regeneration and savage defense, so where does this go since it uses rage that's better spent elsewhere?

[Raugnaut]

Its actually not that low priority to frenzied regen- it essentially causes the next melee hit to be absorbed for half of what frenzied regen will heal.

At higher gear levels, youll have enough rage to comfortable use each T&C proc.

For current tier, plenty of uses for it- when main tanking, use it whenever the boss is not directly attacking you (Casting something, ala Ji'kun) to build up a big shield.

T&C is also good for when you don't need to spend rage on Savage Defense or Frenzied Regen. For example, on Megaera while tanking a head, you can get away with using two charges of SD in between breaths. With all that extra rage between breaths, I funnel it into Maul for T&C procs. As Raugnaut says, the higher gear level you have, the more rage you'll have to use T&C as you wish. Before you reach that point, just use it when you're certain you don't need rage for SD/FR anytime soon.

Frankly its amazing.

Use it whenever you have the rage to keep SD up in addition to it, it get to the point that you can pretty much keep sd up and use just about every tnc proc with gear assuming your going for rps.

Its very strong on things like horridons TP/Melee combo, as if you can drop one or two on him during double swipe it pretty much fully negates his next melee swing.

[Arielle]

You'll want a WA to keep track of the current T&C value so you don't waste procs stacking it higher than what a melee swing would actually do.

It certainly adds some thinking to guardian, I think it's a great debuff.
