Weapon Swap canceling. - - Use this to instantly escape dangerous situtations.
- - Unblockable serves as a "Get-Off-Me" and a mobility option.
- - Applying pulsing
Cripple can make a huge difference. Always cover your tracks with these skills to maintain distance when chased. Very effective while kiting.
Defense
This build is low on cleanse but has alternative options to make up for that.
- - Use this to instantly escape dangerous situtations.
- - Can be used for minor healing throughout the fight. A way to resustain before re-entering fights.
- - Weakness application on a low CD. Easy to use to reduce enemy bursts.
- - Stability & Protection, can be used before bursts.
Extra Techniques
- - Hits through walls and projectile blocks while triggering
- has a few very fun quirks when using it to cast : It will interrupt any move you're casting. This includes stuns/CC making it an effective 3rd stunbreak. On top of that the will cast on any random target ~600 radius around you. If you manage to cast this in a 1v1 situation with no other NPCs around it will hit for PvE scaling, this hits for ~ damage. Very fun and strong way to start a burst if you use a CC to confirm the hit. Alot more fair for damage on a 90 second CD elite at least compared to Jade Buster Cannon damage.
- / - Can jump-cast this skill while kiting to make long jumps. Jumps that dodge jumping can't.
