Morale ChantMorale Chant is a great pick for increasing your DPS since every hit can boost your damage, and it’s also one of the strongest damage Inner Ways in Where Winds Meet. For defense, you should get Trapped BeastTrapped Beast as it adds a big shield whenever your HP goes low enough, giving plenty of time for healers to top you up. Use Exquisite SceneryExquisite Scenery to boost overall damage as it lets you use your Charged Heavy Attack.

Soaring Spin
Drunken Poet
Golden Body
Wolflike Frenzy
Dragon's Breath
Cloud Steps
Guardian Palm

Cloud StepsCloud Steps is a helpful mobility skill to jump between targets and while it does a bit of damage (even more on mounted targets), it’s mainly used for movement and getting close to enemies more easily but you can also combo it with the Guardian PalmGuardian Palm for some good AOE damage. Wolflike FrenzyWolflike Frenzy is good for dealing damage while bosses are knocked down, or you can use it to knock enemies down. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath also very strong as a DOT skill to keep up, debuffing enemies and dealing extra damage over time. Use Deflect afterward to cancel the animation and let the fire tick once its applied.

Once the boss/enemy is burning with Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath, follow up with Drunken PoetDrunken Poet for even more damage. Soaring SpinSoaring Spin works well as a gap closer and quick damage tool, often used in a similar way to Cloud StepsCloud Steps. Blinding MistBlinding Mist is perfect for dealing with groups of mobs quickly but it costs a lot of vitality so make sure not to waste it.
