Rune

  • Rune of Fighter - Trades condition damage reduction for extra power damage.

Usage

General

When safe to do so, lead the approach with your pets. Once your pet closes the gap use you should use your multiple leaps to also close the gap doing massive damage once in close. Once you become at risk use the same leaps to once again widen the gap.

Sustain

  • Your primary way to keep the pet alive is by using Pet Swap try to save this for as late as possible as to reduce the chance of the next pet dying to fresh cooldowns.
  • Quick Draw + Serpent's Strike/Stalker's Strike/Swoop/Counterattack - Pairing these allow for extra evades and blocks that aren't usually possible.
  • Stalk - Short Stealth Stealth uptime, used to escape pressure.
  • Stoneform/Signet of Stone - Great defensive option primarily for countering power and hybrid damage builds.
  • Weapon Swap Weapon Swap & Healing Spring is where most of your cleansing will come from. You'll want to save Signet of Renewal for the last moment as the passive regen is high value, however if you do use this skill then make sure to Pet Swap before the pet dies.
  • Healing Spring should be used in combination with your multiple leap finishers for bonus healing. You can heal up to 60% more after using all leap finishers.
  • Signet of Renewal - Minor passive regenration but be sure to save yourself from using this as much as possible. Although the regen seem small it adds up overtime and can be a game changer in duels.

Doing damage Pets: A major source of your damage comes from your pets. Without them you become much weaker.

    1. Use Insect Swarm when timed alongside your burst for greatest effectivness.
    2. Use Marsh Drake Marsh Drake when you want to put on as much pressure and burst damage as possible
    3. Then swap to Jaguar Jaguar to Stealth Stealth alleviating pressure from you and your pet while maintaining high pet damage output.


The Sword/Dagger burst combo:

  1. Weapon swap gives you Quick Draw, granting the first skill reduced cooldown.
  2. Fury gives you Opening Strike for increased damage.
  3. Use Serpent's Strike
  4. Then Pounce
  5. and finish with Stalker's Strike

Greatsword burst combo:

  1. Weapon swap gives you Quick Draw, granting the first skill reduced cooldown.
  2. Fury gives you Opening Strike for increased damage.
  3. Use Maul
  4. Use Auto/Swoop until you can use Maul again
  5. Hilt Bash your target for CC, hopefully a Moment of Clarity proc, and to refresh Maul.
  6. Maul again.
