Skill Maps:
Basic Map: HoR, VB, WM, SS
-Use this map as your default map. Use this map in all regular maps, easy elites, and elite tindirin maps.
Elite Tanking Map: HoR, VB, Jugg, WM
-Use this map in difficult elites or any map you are dying a lot in.
Boss Fighting Map: HoR, VB, WM, Axe
-Use Axe as soon as it cool downs to continuously feeble the boss. You will get used to Axe over time and figure out its dynamics. A good place to practice is PvP if you are geared enough.
-Substitute SS in place of Axe if the boss spawns additional mobs (Like "Thunk the One-Eye")

Notes:
-Charge all skills before casting, except SS which you should never charge.
-Spam potions to stay alive when necessary.
-Spam basic attack as often as possible.
-Use skills when you deem them necessary. You shouldn't just spam skills every time they finish cooling down.
-With good timing you should get 2 casts of Charged WM per cast of VB. Try to use WM right after you cast VB. Casting HoR while the buff from VB is active will increase its HP return dramatically (HoR returns HP based on damage).
-Be extremely hesitant to use jugg. It is should be a last resort. Recognize the long cool down and short duration makes it a short term, one use save during a pull.
-Use basic attack (or SS if you can) to taunt mobs that are outliers to the main pack.
-The leveling guide is not a hard science. The order given is recommended, not required.
-Remap skills in the "Skills Menu."
-NEVER unmap HoR.
-Keep the party alive and tank on
