[edit] Equipment

• Druid's Armor
• Zealous Daggers with +15% damage either in Stance or while health is above 50%.

[edit] Usage

• The main combo is Leaping Mantis Sting, Jungle Strike, Horns of the Ox, Falling Spider, Death Blossom.
• The secondary combo consists of Bestial Fury while spamming Enraged Lunge.
• If targeted by melee opponents, kite a short distance away and use Horns of the Ox and Falling Spider Horns of the Ox and Falling Spider to knock down and poison them.

[edit] Counters

• All standard attack counters work. This includes conditions such as blindness and weakness; hexes such as Empathy, Faintheartedness and Spiteful Spirit; and blocking stances or enchantments such as Distortion, Guardian, and Shield of Deflection.
• This build has no self heals. This is not a big issue in its intended environment of Alliance Battles.

[edit] Variations

• Exchange Falling Spider for Comfort Animal if you find your pet dying often. The biggest possible combo then is Leaping Mantis Sting → Jungle Strike → Horns of the Ox →, which does not deal as much damage as the default combo above.
• Replace Horns of the Ox with Blades of Steel.

[edit] Notes

• This build only uses Factions Campaign skills.
