Tactical Information

Redirect is a powerful defensive ability. This skill is most strong for its uptime, with its short cooldown, which can be further reduced by using the War-chant skill. With quick usage of War-chant, the Damage Reflection effect can have about a 50% uptime. The best Tank Guardians will use Redirect the most of any of their cooldowns, and will nearly have this skill on cooldown. Redirect is also usable by Red-line Guardians, but should be used in special situations rather than on cooldown.
