Please stop ignoring the maths of the situation, single hits after absorbs of 57k do not just get 'skilled' away.
Just think rationally before moving to the default attack position please.
Anyway - no longer struggling to do it, I just do level 4s twice a week to build up a stock of ash and accept that TC is pointless.
I'm as geared as I'm going to get this tier, so I can focus on alts. Maybe my balance druid can do them better, it seems to be able to handle melee hits better.
