Protector

Skill · Warrior level 12 · (important)

(21% per practice)

Requires: rescue

Usage

• protect <group member>

The 'protect' skill allows a warrior to protect another group member from harm. This is similar to the 'tanking' skill, except that it only looks to protect a single target.

This skill can be very useful in large groups to protect the weaker party members from being blindsided.

Note that the 'tanking' skill completely overrides 'protect'. A tank will automatically try to rescue any group member, instead of just the protected target.

Notes

• Both the rescuer and the protected ally are briefly lagged after a rescue.
• Can still be used after learning Tanking to guarantee a specific group member is protected first.
