Tactical Information

War-chant is one of the Guardian's most important skills. When fully traited, this skill reduces the cooldowns of many important skills, including rotational damage and defensive cooldown skills. All Guardians should use this skill as much as possible while being strategic about how to best benefit from the active cooldown reduction.
