This build is designed to cause havoc within enemy territory, through its use of the Warrior elite "You're All Alone!" to spread conditions, allowing for easier kills. That, in conjunction with Signet of Malice, provides the user with ample self-condition removal, creating a very powerful solo build.

• Try to force kills of flaggers to get your team morale boosts.

[edit] Counters

• Any skills that cause damage when attacking, such as Empathy or Spiteful Spirit, blind, blocking skills (Escape, etc...), condition removal skills or spells that mitigate damage (Healing Hands, etc...).
• Mending Touch.

[edit] Variants

• Add Distracting Blow for an interrupt.
• Wild Blow can be used for Stance removal.

[edit] Notes

This build works very well in Alliance Battle, Random Arenas, Team Arenas and Guild Battles(for taking out either NPCs, or pesky monks).
