[edit] Equpiment
- Use full Radiant armor for maximum energy.
- Any dagger should do it, Zealous, Poison, whatever.
- I use Zealous Dragon Scythes of Fortitude.
[edit] Usage
- Choose a target, preferably a squishy.
- Run in and open your spike with Shock to knockdown target and make Falling Spider available.
- Immediately use Falling Spider.
- Follow with Way of the Lotus. This has a 1/4 second cast, so it shouldn't mess up your spike.
- Then use Twisting Fangs to strike for +17 damage and cause Bleeding and Deep Wound for 16 seconds. This will also stack with the pouson you caused with Falling Spider. You will also gain 14 energy from Way of the Lotus.
- Follow up with Moebius Strike for a +37 damage attack, and also to recharge attack skills if your target was under 50% health.
- At this point, you will probably be at low health. If you are, immediately use Death's Retreat to escape and gain 94 health. If, for some reason, you are not at a risk of death, then follow Moebius Strike with Horns of the Ox to start your spike up again.
- You can also try spamming Horns of the Ox with Moebius Strike.
- Use Resurrection Signet to revive fallen allies.
- Also, try to use Way of the Lotus before dual attacks for great energy management.
[edit] Variants
- You can switch out Horns of the Ox for Shadow Refuge for somewhat of a self heal.
- You can also switch Horns of the Ox for Blinding Powder to screw up the opponent warriors/rangers/assains/dervish.
- If you are Factions-only, you can switch out Death's Retreat for Death's Charge if you wish.
[edit] Counters
- Any skills that damage you for attacking, such as Sandstorm.
- Blind will render you useless.
- Anti-knockdown skills such as Steady Stance will hurt you as well, I've been seeing many warrior in HA using some build around that.
