Armor

 * Suggested insignias:
 * 1) Radiant - For extra energy, number of pieces from this set depending on your preference.
 * 2) Blessed - For better armor (+10), basically you will be under the effects of an enchantment 100% of the time.

Weapons

 * A Totem Axe or similar weapon, and a shield.

Usage

 * Maintain Dwarven Stability. Use Dash for fast IMS and Dark Escape for long-lasting IMS and damage reduction.
 * IAU for anti-kd, anti-cripple and armor.
 * 1-2-3 for Shadow Form. Cast the Shadow Form in slot 2 right before it would turn back into A/Echo. If timing is an issue, you can use skill recharges to measure time.
 * Find a safe spot for when Shadow Form ends. It's not troublesome with the long recharge, but if you somewhy end up in a dangerous position, use Dark Escape to mitigate the damage taken.
 * Use common sense.

Counters

 * See the GWW Shadow Form article for information about what effects still affect you.
