Variants

• Change Marauder's to Berserker to trade defense for additional damage.
• Finetune with Valkyrie and Cavalier for defense values.

Sigils

Runes

• Rune of Superior Rune of the Eagle budget option
• Rune of Superior Rune of the Thief strong DPS option with lower max hit potential.

Usage

• Maintain Superspeed by chaining your gyros to keep the damage bonus, Swiftness and stability should mostly be supplied by your group.
• Provide the Smoke Field and Stealth from Sneak Gyro when your commander demands it. To counter enemies stealthing, use Detection Pulse in the nearby area to reveal them.
  • When not running Sneak Gyro, Smoke Bomb (engineer) from Bomb Kit can be used for stealth blasting instead.

Offensive

• Bomb Kit is mainly taken for the #1 skill, Bomb, which does massive AoE damage after a short delay. Try to maintain as much uptime on bomb as possible, using your other damaging skills and hammer when the cooldowns are available.
• In contrast to Bomb, Shredder Gyro is an exceptionally direct damage spike that is very potent during the first engage but also during the encounter. But don't waste it for cleaving downed players.
• Thunderclap is a stun and particularly useful on range in a shadespike or in a bubble.

• Elixir U is your only stunbreak.
