Notes[edit]

  • A long time ago, this skill was bugged and the guardian would not shout "Hold the Line!". Instead, players would shout race-specific voice lines, most assuredly meant for other content. Those voice lines were never actually implemented in the game. An incomplete list of these historical quotes may be found here.
    • Nowadays, guardians always shout "Hold the Line!" when using this skill.
