Tactical Information

Litany of Defiance is a very dangerous skill for the Guardian to use. This is because they can redirect up to 50% incoming damage from other fellowship members to themselves, which ignores the Guardian's Mitigations. There is no cooldown that will guarantee that the Guardian survives the use of this skill. This skill should only be used in emergencies or in situations where the fellowship is not taking a large amount of damage.
