Usage
Build works best for large groups of difficult monsters such as those found in vanquishing runs and hard mode or Eye of the North elite missions.

The Brier Patch (R/E) leads the team and chooses target groups. Battle then ensues as follows:


 * Brier Patch drops Brambles in a spot such that the mob will be in its effect area when the fighting begins.


 * Brier Patch immediately applies Incendiary Arrows and pulls closest member of mob from outside aggro range using longbow.


 * Tallantanks converge to intercept mob, preventing any leakage using "None Shall Pass!".


 * When mob has bunched properly, The Brier Patch uses Gale to knock down as many monsters as possible, all of whom begin bleeding due to the effect of Brambles.


 * The Thorns then uses Virulence followed by Epidemic to apply stacked conditions to as many monsters as possible.


 * Simultaneously The Brier Patch and The Snake set off their elemental AoE spells (Snow Storm for The Brier Patch and player's choice for The Snake). (Using Searing Flames twice in rapid succession is acceptable and encouraged).


 * As opponents die The Thorns has a choice of either applying Putrid Explosion to the new corpse or raising a pair of minions upon whom Death Nova is then applied.


 * Use interrupts and individual target attacks as necessary for stragglers or escapees.
