Detailed Explanations
Stability
- Apply Stability before allies get caught by enemy CC
- When using cover the application by applying other boons immediately after the cast
- Avoid overlapping multiple Stability sources on your party, both your own and other players
- Enemy CC is most likely to land when they spike your group, your group is moving through theirs, or your group is moving away from theirs.
Stability priority
Shield of Courage

- This means the center of an AoE can be behind you, but if you're facing the player that cast it the damage will be blocked
blocks damage coming from enemy players you are facing
- blocks for allies inside the cone of the shield animation in front of you
to block for your party and give - Reset Aegis via and with
CC
- can also be used for cleanse, hit both groups with it if possible, but generally prioritizing using it offensively is best
- Use your CC when:
- Your group calls a spike:
- Winds -
- Wells - +
- Shades -
- Traps - +
- On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)

Healing
- Be careful when healing others, is a powerful heal but can easily leave you out of position if misused
Healing priority
- (if you have time to finish cast)
- (only if the knockback isn’t disruptive)
- Dodge ( )
- Aegis
- Regeneration
Settings
- Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
- Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
- Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
- Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.
