Equipment
Weapons

 * Tactics shield of fortitude with "I Can See Clearly Now".
 * Any flat or longbow.
 * High energy staff.

Usage
Weapon sets
 * Use your sword and shield for combat.
 * Switch to the staff when you need to use an energy skill but currently don't have the required energy.
 * Use the bow for easier long-distance luring.
 * Switch to your spear when you're snared, so you can at least gather some adrenaline.

Skills
 * Maintain [[Drunken Master].
 * The IAS of this skill is ideal: It allows to use your adrenaline gain attack skills right after [[Whirlwind Attack] to fuel it again. With a stronger IAS you'd gain the adrenaline during this skill's downtime, thus not recharging it, which will lower your area attack frequency considerably.
 * Use [[Enduring Harmony@0] on yourself before combat.
 * Hit [["For Great Justice!"] and [["To the Limit!"@13] right before reaching your target.
 * Position yourself inbetween as many foes as possible.
 * Use whirlwind attack followed by [[Dragon Slash@16]. It will fuel the next whirlwind attack immediately. Use this combo until "for great justice!" expires.
 * During "for great justice!" downtimes use [[Brawling Headbutt] followed by [[Steelfang Slash@16] to fuel both whirlwind attack and dragon slash.
 * During "for great justice!" downtimes use "to the limit!" to gain additional adrenaline.
 * In case there is only one foe left or you can't position yourself such that you could hit multiple targets, spam dragon slash on your target.
 * During "for great justice!" downtimes use brawling headbutt followed by steelfang slash to fuel dragon slash.

Counters

 * Blind, blocking and other effects that prevent your attacks to connect.
 * Snares.
 * [[Soothing], [[Soothing Images].
 * [[Signet of Humility].
 * Stance removal.
 * General anti physical.
 * Alcohol.
 * Consumables which increase your attack speed.
