Quote:I'm curious about trying to solo with a heavy prot build. I figure I'd stay in my DW gear. The one thing I'm wondering is do you use sunder and then devastate, or just go straight to devastating? If the damage loss is only 10% or less I think it will be worth it to save the headaches of tanking.
Seiki, I stay DW unless they're hurting me too much, I sunder to half-life on the mob, or 5, whichever comes first (usually half-life about 3), and then finish it off. It makes for a nice damage boost, and is cheap on rage. If I have my shield on, I use shield slam some, if not, I use HS/Devastate mostly, along with a fair amount of overpower. Zerker's 3% crit usually isn't worth the damage you take in most cases as a prot build soloing, IMO.
