I've considered using [Glyph of Barkskin] to facilitate battle ressing while tanking. The idea was that you would be slightly less squishy with Barkskin up casting a Revive in caster form, with this Glyph, due to the lowered chance to be crit.

But testing it out, it just didn't help a lot, the incoming damage was too high even without crits, and most bosses have at least a 3 second period that during which you can battle res or Innervate.

That, and it's hard to beat Maul/Growl/Frenzied regeneration for all around usefulness. I am eager to try out [Glyph of Survival Instincts] on phase 1 of Mimiron, to absorb Plasma Blast.

SotF is active in all forms. How would [Glyph of Barkskin] help when battle ressing?

My mistake, I had thought SotF's crit reduction was only active while in Bear form.

A novel idea! However as you discovered not particularly useful in practice. As a side note: I once combat ressed a healer in between melee swings while tanking Sarth in a Sarth 3D 10 man
