<P>I was expecting this. No way Sony will let us move to a shared-tanking model just like that, it will have too big consequences for raid tuning etc.</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>I was saying the same months ago in this forum; making guardians required in the main tank group as a support class wasn't going to happen.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But then, who cares.  Our guardian-only interception abilities were obviously never meant to be used on other tanks, and in light of that, they will come in very handy indeed.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Imagine Sentry Watch actually working as intended, without carrying a significant chance of killing us:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> 1 - Caster gets aggro.</DIV> <DIV> 2 - Sentry Watch is used by guardian tank.</DIV> <DIV> 3 - Guardian allows caster to die.</DIV> <DIV> 4 - Sentry Watch triggered, thus preventing caster's death.</DIV> <DIV> 5 - Killing blow damage transferred to guardian, who mitigates as though taking the hit directly.</DIV> <DIV> 6 - Due to Sentry Watch proc, guardian moves up one step on hate list of mob.</DIV> <DIV> 7 - If mob still on caster and Sentry Watch not expired yet, go to 3 and carry on.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

intercede will still be raid wide, i see no mention of that... and I never put sustain on anyone but a caster anyhow.. and i definately dont want to protect the dirty little pets.. so it all makes sense to me.<div></div>

Intercede is still raid friend. Stone Sphere still intercepts for the entire group, mitigated now ( a big plus finally for when things go haywire). Sentinal, sustain, etc are the only ones with a class limitation as to what they'll work on.<div></div>

Pretty much exactly how I thought these lines should be fixed.  I'll be happy to see them go live<div></div>

<div><blockquote><hr>Formerly Bbert wrote:Pretty much exactly how I thought these lines should be fixed.  I'll be happy to see them go live<div></div><hr></blockquote>same here.. the change to sentinel/sustain sint a biggie, I usually usedit on the healer anyhow (if it was used at all).. or the caster most likely to pull agro.</div>

The fact interpose spells are absorbed by wards really rocks. Making any fighter who recieves a ward then intercede that much more useful on raids. (especially pallies)
