Sentinel

"The best offence is a good defence" is the motto of the Sentinel, with increased armour they are the rock which stands against the tide. Masters of using shields, they wield them as an extension of themselves, not only to deflect blows from themselves and allies but to inflict powerful strikes to their foes.
