How does Ot work for palidens

To help with tanking:

• Only Use Rage of Halone after MT has built up enough hate. Keep the debuff from this combo up all the time (i.e. must do this combo at least once every 20s)
• If you have a lvl 34 CNJ. Get Stone Skin to cast on your MT, then rotate in one or two Riot Blade combos to cover the MP cost.
• Use Flash to blind the mobs (or even some bosses) every 30-40 seconds.
• Even though Shield Bash is not off GCD like other stun abilities, you can use it as often as you like. In a large mob, you can keep switching target and stun everything before going back to your normal rotation.
• Pop Awareness and/or Bulkwark (even better if you already have Stone Skin on yourself) then immediately use Cover on MT to mitigate some physical damage for your MT. Then keep reapplying Stone Skin on yourself till the effect wears off.
• If you see your MT at very low HP (esp. when one healer has died or low on MP), immediately Provoke the boss then switch on Shield Oath and pop a few defensivecooldowns (you might want to alert the party that you're taking over. Best practice is using macro to say so in party chat as you use Provoke). After this you may want to MT for awhile till the other Tank's HP has gone up and some of his defensive cooldowns are available again.

To help with DPS:

• Stay in Sword Oath and only switch to Shield Oath just before tank swap (to max your DPS and reduce the the chance of your stealing argo).
• Spirits Within does tons of damage and can be used off GCD. Can also be used to interrupt spells (not skills though) and doesn't build resist like stun abilities.
• Circle of Scorn also does tons of damage and off GCD. Use it as often as you can.
• If you have a lvl 26 MRD. Get Mercy Stroke to increase your DPS.
