Variants

 * If you don't like Shadow Refuge, you can put points from Shadow Arts into Tactics, and use Healing Signet
 * In AB, you can replace Resurrection Signet with Enraging Charge, for a speed boost and extra adrenaline, or a defensive skill, such as Shield Bash or Feigned Neutrality
 * If you're using Healing Signet (means you have points tactics), you could also use a defensive stance such as Disciplined Stance
