Notes

  • Sentinel grants a -% Physical Damage Taken for the duration of the ability, starting at -90% and decreasing by -8% every tick, ending at -50%, where it will remain until the effect wears off.
    • With Valor Leggings equipped, Sentinel starts at -103% Damage taken (capped at -100%), and decays at the same rate, eventually reaching -50% as well.
    • The effect is applied after regular damage taken, and unlike that it's applied by exact percentages, not as fractions of 256.
  • This ability gives +100 equipment enmity for its duration, and then creates a large hate spike (similar to Provoke).
  • +50 enmity if Paladin is subjob.
  • With Guardian merited, your hate will also decay more slowly during the duration of Sentinel
