Overview
An incredibly strong LI build that features very high damage with little input while maintaining excellent sustain and defense.
What Is LI?
LI stands for "Low-Intensity". LI builds are a class of builds that work to slow the game down drastically by using passive defense and builds that require very low input to function. These builds are designed primarily for players that have disabilities that may prevent them from playing higher intensity builds, though they are here for any player who wishes to play them.
LI builds function quite well on their own and are created to be equivalent to our General or Roaming build section. They typically do not output especially high DPS and focus on gear with passive defense, like 
Soldier and 
Dire .

Defense
All of your defense is passive and comes from many traits in Defense and Tactics. The two trait lines work together to provide extremely high passive sustain, especially when combined with . With the Soldier's gear above, so long as you're bursting off cooldown, you should be regenerating around 1200 health per second. When combined with the very high passive defense of Soldier's Gear, this build is very hard to take down.
