— In-game description

Holmgang is an action unlocked at level 42. It is available for Marauder / Warrior.

Notes

• This ability has the shortest recast among all four tank invulnerability cooldowns, making it particularly useful in many encounters.
• This ability requires a selected target to cast, unlike other tank invulnerability cooldowns. If the target enemy dies, the player will lose the effect. Also, if the target is out of range, the player cannot use this ability. To circumvent these quirks, it is recommended to use a self-target macro, e.g.

/ac "Holmgang" <me>
/ac "Holmgang" <me>
/ac "Holmgang" <me>
