Sentinel focus is a measure of the degree to which a sentinel has captured their opponent's attention during a fight. Focus is obtained by successfully completing skills that draw a target's attention. These skills are: FLAGELLISTICS, PLINK, MAZZATELLO, and ABBACINARE. Once gained, focus is expended (in a similar fashion to ep or sp usage for skills or spells) in order to use the skills DISRUPT ARMOR and DISTRACT. Note that the use of focus does not eliminate the ep cost for a skill. Multiple sentinels can obtain and use a target's focus during the same combat-one sentinel's usage of focus is independent of any other sentinel's efforts. A sentinel can use the sentfocus command (HELP SKILL CHECK FOCUS, HELP SENTFOCUS) to determine the amount of focus, if any, they have on their target. Focus is maintained by a target until it is used up by skills or the target dies. See also: individual skill help files. |
