Notes

• Extremely useful as a Spectre, as Proximity Shield blocks all damage from enemy hits so long as the enemy is not within the Shield. This can completely negate a large amount of damage and even nullify the danger of certain encounters or traps.
• Proximity Shield is only used when no enemies are in melee range, or very close by. Convocation will generally cause the Guardian to use Proximity Shield.
• Spectral Throw is only used when there is a single target that is not in melee range.
