Way of the Shield

This Trait Set includes all of the traits that increase defensive and heal-over–time (HOT) gambits. Traits like Never Say Die, which increases the number of pulses for all Warden HOT effects, and Ward of Justice, which increases the defensive benefits of all Warden defensive buffs, are in this Trait Set. Set bonuses give increases to the Warden’s Block and Evade skills as well as increasing the magnitude of the Warden’s heals.

Conviction is the new skill linked to the Way of the Shield. This skill has two parts. First it transfers a set amount of Threat from each Fellowship member to the Warden. In addition it applies an HOT to each Fellowship member. The legendary trait for Way of the Shield greatly increases Conviction’s HOT, as well as extending the duration of all of the Warden’s HOT effects.
