* This build has low mobility skill access
 
** {{skill|Deathstrike}} will teleport in the direction of an out of range target, use it if desperate to reposition

* This builds has high active defenses
 
** Save {{Skill|Facet of Nature}} + {{skill|One with Nature}} for use in '''Jalis''' stance
 
** Only use {{Skill|Phase Smash}} if desperate, it will likely leave you more out of position than when you started
 
** Toggle {{Skill|Vengeful Hammers}} on whenever you expect significant pressure, its upkeep is cheap
 
** Don't waste {{skill|Gaze of Darkness}} on trivial CC, the {{Tooltip|Fury}} it provides is very valuable
 
** {{Skill|Rite of the Great Dwarf}} breaks stuns at the beginning of the cast, dodge or weapon stow to cancel the cast if you're in danger
 
** {{Skill|Facet of Light}} + {{skill|Infuse Light}}

*** Shades - {{Skill|Desert Shroud}}
