[edit] Usage
Cast Mending before battle, and remember to re-cast if stripped. It gives constant Health regeneration, as well as helping counter any Poison or Bleeding based traps or condition spamming Rangers.
If using "I Will Avenge You!", use that before battle to quickly charge up Battle Rage, providing there are dead allies in the battle already. Activate Battle Rage as soon as it is charged up. It takes two hits to charge up Sever Artery, and just follow through with Gash and Galrath Slash. Use Final Thrust when your opponent is below 50% Health, which they should be if they've been hit with the first three attacks and have not received substantial healing. When facing enemies with strong condition removal, Gash can often be followed immediately by another Sever Artery, covering the Deep Wound.
Use Wild Blow to remove stances such as Lightning Reflexes, Sprint, Bonetti's Defense, etc...
[edit] Counters
- Blind
- Stance Removal
- Adrenaline denial, such as Soothing Images, Soothing or Sympathetic Visage.
[edit] Variants
- Silverwing Slash in place of Galrath Slash, as both are identical skills.
- Standing Slash or Silverwing Slash in place of Final Thrust to prevent the loss of all adrenaline, through sacrificing damage.
- Savage Slash in place of Wild Blow for interruption.
- Replace Resurrection Signet in Alliance Battles or Competitive Missions with "I Will Avenge You!" for faster initial charging, and to counter mass-degen tactics.
- Replace Resurrection Signet with Smite Hex or Purge Conditions for Hex or Condition removal.
- Add in Bull's Strike for greater advantage against Kiters. Usually Resurrection Signet is replaced here, as Bull's Strike is generally used for Alliance Battles.
- Replace Wild Blow and Mending with Balthazar's Spirit and Healing Breeze for a constant +7 health regeneration while under heavy attack.
[edit] Notes
Note that the use of any non-attack skills listed in the Variants will end Battle Rage.
