This Build uses a strong adrenaline engine with Knee Cutter, Steelfang Slash and "To The Limit!" to spam high damage adrenaline attacks with Seven Weapon Stance. "On Your Knees!" allows the user to instantly recharge Seven Weapons Stance in case it gets removed, while the lost adrenaline will quickly be restored.

Notes
This variant sacrifices the utility of "On Your Knees", making it more vulnerable to stance removal. In return, this build can spread cracked armor on enemies, removes enchantments, can cleanse itself of conditions by transfering them to nearby enemies and has strong self healing with Twin Moon Sweep at 20 Scythe Mastery. It requires a zealous sword in order to sustain the energy cost and is a bit harder to play. Its single target DPS is at least equal to the main build, and the flash enchantments contribute some extra area damage.
Equipment[]
Armor
1 Stonefist insignia on hands, headpiece or feet.
4 Sentinel's insignia.
Rune of Superior Vigor.
Rune of Superior Absorption.
Weapons
Vampiric Sword of Defense with "Strength and Honor". Zealous Sword of Defense with "Strength and Honor" for the W/D variant.
Strength or Tactics Shield of Fortitude or Endurance with "Run for Your Life".
Usage[]
Maintain Seven Weapons Stance. Use "On Your Knees!" if the stance gets removed by enemies.
Use "To The Limit!" to fuel adrenaline at the start of the fight or after using "On Your Knees!".
Use "You Move Like A Dwarf!" for on demand knockdown and Cripple. Follow up with Knee Cutter to regain 9 energy and 4 adrenaline. Next use Sun and Moon Slash and Steelfang Slash to gain 6 adrenaline which will recharge your other 3 attacks. Use Sun and Moon Slash and Body Blow, then use Knee Cutter again which will nearly recharge your other attacks. Continue cycling through attacks.
