- The optional slot can be replaced by any skill to fit the desired role. Popular choices are Rending Touch, Rending Sweep, and "Shields Up!".
Equipment
- Survivor Insignias are recommended. Gaining 7 energy from every Steady Stance-Blow chain will keep energy relativly high.
- A Sundering Scythe is recommended.
Usage
- Choose the desired target and activate Steady Stance, followed by either Desperation Blow or Drunken Blow.
- Activate any of the adrenal skills - "Fear Me!" for energy denial and "Watch Yourself!" to buff the team.
- Repeat this as necessary.
- Under pressure, use Healing Signet to heal yourself.
- As the condition applied is random, the more hits you make with the attacks, the more conditions are applied.
- Your scythe will hit up to 3 adjacent targets. Take advantage of situations where several foes are close together, for example at the flag stand in GvG and in most PvE areas - Desperation Blow and Drunken Blow will apply the condition to all foes it hits.
Counters
- Typical anti-melee counters such as blind, crippled and blocking.
- Anti-melee hexes.
Variants
- Consider taking Eremite's Attack or Thrill of Victory for PvE use.
