[edit] Equipment

• Explorer's armor to counter runes health drawback. Scout's or Sentry's armor for an additional +10 AL.
• Barbed Daggers of Fortitude

[edit] Usage

• Use Apply Poison before engaging a group of enemies. Re-apply when it ends.
• Start with Jagged Strike. Struck foe will suffer from bleeding and poison (-7 degen), follow with Wild Strike, adding damage and ending any stance that might trouble you. Finally, keep striking your target with Repeating Strike until it dies. Restart combo to re-apply bleeding if needed.
• Stances sequence is the following: Whirling Defense - Escape - Lightning Reflexes - Escape - start again. Wait one or two seconds between each one to keep timing holes from merging.
• Use Troll Unguent when heavy damaged or when suffering from health degeneration.

[edit] Counters

• End stances with skills like Wild Blow.
• Blindness.
• Evading or Blocking.
• Hexes like Spiteful Spirit and Empathy.
