Equipment

Usage

• Keep Avatar up
• Try to always remove Balthazar's Rage with Wearying Strike for the adrenaline gain.
• Cover important enchantments with Balthazar's Rage.
• Use Harrier's Grasp for condition removal and snaring.
• Use Fleeting Stability to move faster and/or to prevent knockdown.
• Use Mirage Cloak after deep wound is applied to try to trigger death quickly especially if target is low in health.
• Use Shield of Force to knockdown dervishes while linebacking or attackers if running flag.
• If there's an Ele camping you with Blinding Flash, try to reserve Harrier's Grasp to use it immediately after getting blinded.
• If you want to keep Heart of Fury up you have to wait till Heart of Fury is at least about 87.5% recharged before removing Balthazar's Rage with Wearying Strike, but this means a slower burning+deep wound cycle.

Counters

• Usual anti-melee/dervish
