Overview

No longer a quickness option, Bladesworn can now provide Alacrity Alacrity via , though its ability to provide boons other than Alacrity Alacrity is limited.

The incredibly high base duration of the trait means that no boon duration is required and gear can be reused from Bladesworn - Power DPS, and allows for a large buffer of Alacrity Alacrity to be built up immediately, making the build relatively efficient at handling mechanics.

It also has access to some incidental support from the Tactics traitline.
