Equipment

Full Radiant/Survivor/Sentry (Depending which is more necessary for an area).
Full Attunement/Vitae (Depending on which is more necessary for an area).

Defensive Set

Spear
- "I Have the Power!" Inscription.
- 20% longer Enchantments.

- Defensive, Hale, Swift, or Insightful Staff Head.
- "Don't think twice", "Hale and Hearty" or "Seize the Day" Inscription.
- Staff Wrapping of Enchanting (+20% useful for lengthening Shadow Form).

Usage

Maintain Dwarven Stability and Pious Haste, being sure to activate Zealous Renewal before each renewal of your stance.
Use IAU as your anti-kd/cripple.
Shadow step whenever your steps are recharged.
Use Shadow Form right before aggroing/being struck by spells.
Heart of Shadow for healing and speed. Note only to use it on foes behind you, as this will make it teleport you forward.
Optionally, drink alcohol to prevent knockdowns all the time with Dwarven Stability.

Counters

Cripple if "I am Unstoppable!" is recharging (Avoid Pinesoul traps)
Rubberbanding/lag
Body blocking (Use shadowsteps to avoid)
Shadow Form ending with spell casting enemies around you. Avoid aggroing mobs with Hexes if shadow form is running out/recharging.

Variants

Ebon Escape to shadow step to NPC.
Shadow Sanctuary for either Heart of Shadow or Dark Prison if you cannot use Heart of Shadow properly.
Vow of Silence instead of Shadow Form
Eternal Aura for inexperienced runners.
Grenth's Fingers instead of Zealous Renewal for condition removal.
