Tactical Information
Shield of the Dúnedain protects one member of the fellowship for 10s, usually preventing them from death. This ability is typically used on a Tank when they are running out of cooldowns, or on a member of the fellowship who is taking heavy damage. Because this skill has a long cooldown, it should be used sparingly, and only at important moments.
