SITUATION + STRATEGY

  1. Noteworthy Abilities:
    1. You can use Spell Symmetry instead of Balance if you find yourself not needing the resistance from major resolve
      ESO Skills Balance
    2. Replace Silver Leash with Overflowing Altar for additional heals when Silver Leash is not needed for the adds
      ESO Skills Overflowing Altar
    3. Shield Discipline works great when you need a “free” block for 7 seconds that you can rez or heavy attack during
