Distracting slash is for an instant extra slash, but the interrupt effect does not take place. Resurrection Signet if you so choose. Bonetti's Defense/Defensive Stance for when you have low energy. Wary Stance can be used to block additional attack skills, but be wary of your energy at the start, be sure you will be able to maintain flurry if you choose to do so. Use Disciplined Stance in place of Defensive Stance if you are choosing between the 2 because Defensive stance ends after the use of a skill(Ripo/Deadly Ripo).
 * Suggest a few optional skill(s) if you included an Optional slot in the skill bar.

Equipment

 * Armor
 * Sword with of Enchanting would be useful to increase duration of Illusionary
 * Shield

Usage
It's basically to stop enemy melee attacks before they touch you. Shield Bash has the kd effect as well as increasing cooldown, so it could cut an Assassin's combo off. Deadly Riposte may be used immediately after Shield Bash to block further melee attacks.

Counters
Enchantment removal would take away your damage capabilities with Illusionary Weaponry, but you can still use the defensive skills to protect yourself against melee combatants. Blackout would leave you open to enemy melee attacks.
