[edit] Attributes and Skills

Ranger / Warrior	Attribute Rank
Expertise	12 + 1 + 3
Tactics	12
Swordsmanship	3

[edit] Equipment

Armor: Full Druid/Radiant armor, but Explorer's/survivor will also work just fine
Weapons: A Furius Sword 15^stance (not so important) of fortitude works good, along with a good stance shield.

[edit] Usage

Find your enemy, hit escape and aggro. If there is many enemys make them all stand infront of you, so that you can hit every body with distract/throw dirt. Start hitting your enemys while you hit Riposte/Deadly Riposte, and while keeping at least 1 stance up at all time/throw dirt. If they're more then 3 enemies there will always be atleast 3 hitting you, the others will just run away.(if Riposte/Deadly Ripsote hits more then 3 targets overall)

[edit] Counters

Knock downs
Stance ending skills that hit(if all stances are recharging)

[edit] Variants

Balanced Stance for knock-downs like against hydras.
Switch out Gash for Distracting Blow for Places with healing
