Tank specialisation · Tier A in PvP, 0.1% of the sample
A complete live guide built from rated Battle.net profiles: bracket-specific talents, PvP talents, gear, gems, enchantments, statistics and importable builds. PvE raid casts are never presented as PvP advice.
Secondary stat split across the 2 best-geared synced characters. Averaged per player, so one heavily geared character cannot define the answer for everyone.

Only 2 synced characters play this specialisation so far, which is too few to report pick rates from.
A percentage drawn from a handful of players is noise wearing the costume of data, and a reader cannot tell the difference. This fills in as the background sync works through the ladder.
The cooldown of Death Pact is reduced by 30 sec, and you receive 50% increased healing while its healing absorb is active.
Death PactCreate a death pact that heals you for 50% of your maximum health, but absorbs incoming healing equal to 30% of your max health for 15 sec.
Death StrikeFocuses dark power into a strike that deals 18,055 Physical damage and heals you for 24.15% of all damage taken in the last 5 sec, minimum 8.5% of maximum health.
