After Chamrosh I think you should drop Fealty.

Pro tip to anyone who is fighting Chamrosh Tier 1 ZNM for the first time. Don't fealty when hes about to Wisecrack.

Has there been an explanation of how Guardian works posted somewhere? I've always seen mixed responses when it comes to Guardian but never seen any kind of numbers behind it. Some Paladins swear by it, others consider it a relic from the past, before Sentinel was changed. The description states that it reduces enmity lost while using Sentinel. Is this just referring to the loss of VE over time? Or is there something else I'm missing? I'm also trying to figure out what to do with Group 2 now that everything else is capped.

I'm really not sure personally to be honest, but I would imagine that it refers to any and all enmity loss. So w/ 5/5 Guardian you would lose only 5% of your total Enmity while Sentinel is active. I can see your point though already with Sentinel you should be taking reduced damage so your CE loss should be minimal, so you are simply prolonging your VE loss for another 30s. But I think you also need to consider that Sentinel boosts your Enmity of all actions taken while effect by 100 (I think?) so if you are gaining 100% more VE and CE and not losing that over 30s that could be come rather substantial. Anyone have any numbers or testing like Avelle asked?

Thanks for making the thread. I think I'll go 5/5 Guardian, 4/5 Chivalry, 1/5 Fealty. I find I like to use Chivalry a lot for a variety of situations. Fealty I can't really see myself using all the time, but would like to have it unlocked.

I love 5/5 chiv 5/5 fealty, but im gonna drop it back to 3/5 fealty and 2 guardian.

I had 3/3 chivalry, 1/3 fealty, guardian and iron will before update. Have already maxed 5/5 chivalry and was going to put rest between guardian and iron will, however I'll consider 4/5 guardian now and screw iron will. I recognize its probably more usefull but... not sure about it yet, I liked to have iron will unlocked at least.
