[edit] Equipment
- Rune of Superior or Major Vigor
- Rune of Superior or Major Absorption
- Rune of Minor Tactics
- Rune of Minor Strength
- Gladiator's Armor for the increased energy
- Any +60 hp max shield and weapon set. Victo's Bulwark, or Factions Collector shields from Healer Silja and Maddison or Weaponsmith shileds from Manzo are ideal, any non-vamp +30 hp Sword or Axe will do. ALSO bring a Zealous weapon of Fortitude such as Wing's Axe.
[edit] Notes
The main idea of this build is to maintain Balanced Stance and "Charge!" as much as possible after crossing the final bridge to the Infusion cave, and to help with some common Infusion issues such as the runner not dealing any damage, or party members dying with no available rez.
[edit] Usage
- Use Serpent's Quickness followed by "Charge!" and Balanced Stance (in that order) to give 33% faster recharge to both skills. This combo is useful for the giants early on in the run, try to Sprint across the final bridge to the Infusion cave and invoke the combo as soon as the first Azure Shadow pops. Balanced Stance and "Charge!" should be ready again at the entrance to the cave.
- There is a 2 second window where "Charge!" is down (duration 11 seconds recharge 13) and a 1 second window where Balanced Stance is down (duration 19 seconds recharge 20 seconds). Consider saving the second "Charge!" until close to the cave entrance.
- Use Endure Pain when entering the cave if your health is low.
- Serpent's Quickness will increase the recharge of Power Attack which does +27 damage each use; the Zealous weapon should keep your energy charged.
- Only use the Zealous weapon when you are attacking, switch between fights if your energy is low.
- Use Serpent's Quickness followed by Balanced Stance and Power Attack when facing Azure Shadows; Serpent's Quickness and Power Attack when facing the first boss after the cut scene if no Azure Shadows have popped up, and on the Eidolon.
- If worst comes to worst, use your Resurrection Signet. If no monks are on the run, bring Alesia and possibly Lina to be sure there is a reusable rez in the party and to use your signet on. Dead people can't give you money.
