You are the archetypical tank, protecting your frail friends from deadly foes. You and your shield will stand in the way of powerful dragons, undead beasts and other evil does as your party vanquishes them as you take the aggro and damage for them. You want to keep up good aggro on your enemies by taunting them, using Shield Slam, Heroic Strike and Devastate to reduce their armor. Keep in mind that other useful spells such as Enraged Regeneration, Disarm, Demoralizing Shout, Shockwave, Shield Wall, Spell reflection and other spells will help you keep yourself alive and your enemies crippled.
