Tactical Information

To Arms is an excellent defensive skill, as it makes the Tank take less damage. This skill should be coordinated with the Tank so that it doesn't overlap with their major cooldowns. It can also be used on cooldown to give the Captain more freedom in healing the other Tank or the rest of the fellowship.
