[build prof=Ranger/Assassin exp=12+1+1 Shadowarts=12][Escape][Lightning Reflexes][Whirling Defense] ["I Am Unstoppable!"]["You Move Like A Dwarf!"][Death's Charge][Recall][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Equipment

 * Sentry armor, minor expertise rune, vigor rune, two attunement runes.
 * An Icy axe or sword of fortitude, Like the Icy Dragon Sword. This is to trigger Spinal Shivers which the necro on the team brings.
 * A shield with 45+ health and -2 damage vs physical while in a stance

Usage

 * Use Death's Charge to enter groups to prevent most leaks.
 * Stance chain- Escape -> Lightning Reflexes -> Escape -> Whirling Defense -> Escape -> Lightning Reflexes -> Escape -> 4 second gap in chain ->(repeat chain from Escape).
 * Use "I Am Unstoppable!" when taking heavy damage and/or knockdowns.
 * To knock down Kanaxi aspects, use "You Move Like A Dwarf!"
 * Refer to Team - "Steel Wall" Deep Group for usage of Recall, how to pull, and how to make a 'wall'.

Counters

 * This build has 30 less armor vs physical damage than the warrior version. However, this build has 20 more vs elemental.

Variants

 * Dwarven Stability at rank 4 or more can probably replace Whirling Defense. The Chain would then be Dwarven Stability -> Escape -> Escape -> Lightning Reflexes(Before DS runs out) -> DS -> Escape -> Escape -> Lightning Reflexes(Before DS runs out) -> Repeating.
 * Replace Death's Charge with Troll Unguent, putting all shadow arts into Wilderness Survival
 * Replace Death's Charge with Feigned Neutrality.
