I use a 2H hammer and sword+shield. The 2H hammer’s for putting down symbols of protection, which gives -33% damage +heal with Altruistic Healing. The sword’s for DPS mainly. Though a scepter may be better, I dislike that weapon xD so I use a sword. The shield’s for granting protection and knocking back mobs if we need to retreat or were flanked from an ambush. The shield’s bubble is also useful for absorbing projectiles, which are common and deadly in dungeons. I prefer the shield over the focus because it gives me protection and a knockback skill.
I think the shield’s 5 skill is more useful than the focus’s 5 skill when attacking ranged mobs. If two mob rangers start unloading a series of 5 arrows each, the focus’s block will be diminished quickly while the bubble will absorb all attacks for the first few seconds. Yes, the focus 5 skill is good at blocking melee attacks for tanking, but most of the time you can just get away by kiting the melee attacks.
The only elite that I use is renewed focus, and that’s because I’ve traited it to be useful.
I agree with the thread starter.
