Detailed Explanations

Immobilize/CC

• Don't overcommit into melee when Muddy Terrain is sufficient to CC
• Use your CC when:
  • Your group calls a spike:
    • Winds - Winds of Disenchantment
    • Wells - Well of Corruption+Well of Suffering
    • Shades - Desert Shroud
    • Traps - Procession of Blades+Test of Faith
  • On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)
  • Enemy groups moving defensively while your group is pushing

Immobilize/CC priority Muddy Terrain Signet of the Wild Entangle Path of Scars

Damage

• Use Whirling Defense to the side of enemy groups, not directly inside them, and make sure you're not standing in the direction they're pushing since it locks you in place
• Your Autoattacks in Greatsword are a very strong filler if you can use them safely, try to chain them until Whirling Defense is ready if possible
