Morale ChantMorale Chant is a top-tier Inner Way and a must-have for this build (like most others), as its stacks are extremely easy to maintain thanks to the high attack speed of both weapons. Echoes of OblivionEchoes of Oblivion adds valuable extra damage by applying a defense-piercing debuff, which can be triggered consistently through Infernal TwinbladesInfernal Twinblades Light Attacks, adding even more damage to the build.

Don’t overlook Sword MorphSword Morph, as Vagrant SwordVagrant Sword releases additional waves when fully charged while the Daunting StrikeDaunting Strike shield is active (or right after using Shadow StepShadow Step once upgraded). This dramatically increases your damage output and can top the DPS charts with ease. Vagrant SwordVagrant Sword is further strengthened by Battle AnthemBattle Anthem, making it hit even harder.


Mystic Skills

Soaring Spin
Drunken Poet
Free Morph
Ghost Bind
Dragon's Breath
Wolflike Frenzy
Leaping Toad

One of the good CC skills that also destroys enemy Qi bars is the Talon StrikeTalon Strike, which knocks down a target while also doing good damage even if it doesn't do just as much damage as Soaring SpinSoaring Spin. Ghost BindGhost Bind is an incredibly powerful AoE CC support skill, helping you set up groups of mobs for yourself or your allies as needed. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath deals damage over time while also opening the option for stamina regeneration by continuing DPS with Drunken PoetDrunken Poet to spend vitality instead of endurance, making the Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath debuff explode for extra damage with every hit from Drunken PoetDrunken Poet.

Leaping ToadLeaping Toad is another very strong skill for PVE as it puts up a poison, does good damage and once upgraded... the poison also spreads to other enemies, creating multiple explosions for good AOE damage. You generally want to have this stacked up alongside Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath.
