 * Replace Flesh of My Flesh with Death Pact Signet or Resurrection Signet as desired.

Equipment

Usage

 * Maintain Spirit's Strength and Sight Beyond Sight as a cover.
 * Cast Weapon of Aggression before attacking.
 * Choose a (preferably squishy) target and execute your unblockable attack chain: Golden Fox Strike -> Fox Fangs -> Nine Tail Strike.
 * Against certain professions, consider saving your attack chain for a strategic moment.
 * Warriors and Rangers: Use it in response to defensive stances.
 * Monks: Use it in response to Guardian and Aegis.
 * Use Feigned Neutrality if necessary for escaping combat and healing.
 * Reapply Weapon of Aggression as needed.

Counters

 * Anti-melee hexes.
 * Enchantment removal.
 * Removal of Sight Beyond sight will allow you to be blinded, and allow easier removal of Spirit's Strength.
 * Removal of Spirit's Strength will greatly decrease your damage output and likely negate Golden Fox Strike.

Variants

 * Another attack chain could be used.
 * For attacks that recharge more quickly but can be blocked, use Jagged Strike -> Golden Fang Strike -> Death Blossom.
 * Splinter Weapon for area damage.
 * Warmonger's Weapon for interruption.
