Ok thanks for the tips. Got a few more questions too:

1. When would you use Shield Bash? Is it worth it to break your combo for the stun when you see the enemy charging up their AoE attack?
2. Long drawn out battles sometimes sees me running out of TP. Other than spamming Flash, what else do you do while you wait for TP to recharge?

Regarding Provoke: I do that with Provoke (have a ready Savage Blade/Rage of Halone, or Shield Lob), but it does not seem to work out right for me. I must be doing something wrong.
