The Ganking Ox is a very mobile build capable of quickly ganking targets. It works well in splits in GvG, as it can quickly charge in and teleport back to safety. It uses the synergy between Shadow of Haste and "On Your Knees!" and a cancel stance to become very mobile. This also makes it very capable of running Flags, capturing Shrines in Alliance Battles or running Amber in Fort Aspenwood.
