Almost forgot. If the others were taking damage, you should
probably use Chant of Battle instead of Anthem. With casters
tanking, the attack speedup of Anthem is laughable. Chant
without a drum buffs str by half the amount of Anthem, but it
also increases dex and AC. If you're using a drum then it's
no contest - Chant will increase str by the same amount as
Anthem, and dex by the same amount as str (Anthem does not
boost dex), and gives double the AC as without a drum.
