Specializations

Variants

• The instant Blind of
  Blinding Dissipation
  can be quite useful when used at the right moment, but if you want a passive you don't have to think about then
  Evasive Mirror
  is fine too. Be warned though that Evasive Mirror can sometimes accidentally break your Stealth.

Equipment Variants

Sigils

Spear

If you can afford to give up some sustain for more damage, then you may consider these options as well:

• Superior Sigil of Severance
  - damage increase after a CC.

• Superior Sigil of Hydromancy
  - on-swap burst damage.

Runes

• Superior Rune of the Brawler
  - more tanky option.

• Superior Rune of the Dragonhunter
  - very slightly worse than Scholar. If you already have a set of gear with this, keep it.

Relics

• Relic of Rivers
  - better Alacrity uptime, which also increases the length of your
  Improved Alacrity
  burst windows.

Consumables

Food

• Spherified Peppercorn-Spiced Oyster Soup
  - mix of defense and offense.

• Peppercorn-Crusted Sous-Vide Steak
  - slightly more offensive ascended option.

• Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew
  - active damage mitigation via more frequent access to dodging, has good synergy with Relic of Rivers if you're taking that.
  • Budget version:
    Bowl of Meat and Winter Vegetable Stew

• Slice of Candied Dragon Roll
  or
  Omnomberry Ghost
  - cheap precision bump and armor ignoring damage procs that also heal you.

Utility

• Superior Sharpening Stone
  or
  Tin of Fruitcake
  .

Usage
