A unique melee weapon combination, this deadly class can take down single targets with ease, leaving no room for retaliation. The Greatsword dismantles the enemy with a series of CC skills, leaving them unable to fight back.

This has a number of drawbacks. Because this build uses the longbow instead of a sword and shield, it leaves the class with only one damage mitigation skill, which must be used as sparingly as possible because it is also a source of damage.

It also relies on the stuns landing properly to complete the full combo. If the opponent's melee evasion stat is too high, it can cause stun skills to fail to land and mess up the rotation. This gets better as the hit stat increases.

Perception is extremely important in this build, as it would be the difference between skills hitting targets or not. To that end, the goal would be to hit the stat targets of 60 Perception and 60 Strength for Damage, Health, and increased chance of Heavy Attack.

Active Skills

This build emphasizes melee combat, using Greatsword skills to specialize in damage. Stunning Blow and Devastating Smash are used to set up Death Blow and Guillotine Blade, the most powerful Greatsword skill.

Since the build relies on stuns, the Longbow skills are used to help the Greatsword close the gap and increase hit rate. To that end, Deadly Marker and Ensnare Arrow are used, with Blitz being a flexible skill to refresh the cooldown of a chosen skill.

Prioritize leveling Precision Dash, Stunning Blow, and Death Blow, as they make up the bulk of the damage early on, to be followed by Guillotine Blade.

Passive Skills

With most encounters being fought in melee range, Only three offensive passives are taken, in order to increase survivability. Since this build has plenty of the Strength stat, the rest of the passives can be focused on survivability and sustain.

Prioritize leveling Robust Consitution and Cold Warrior for leveling, as it will increase overall damage dealt.

Since this build has a very high Strength stat, Adentus's Gargantuan Greatsword is the best option, as it increases damage consistently. Duke Magna's Fury Warblade is a great alternative with its excellent passive, but the lack of Strength means the build wouldn't have as much Health.

Despite this build not using Strafing, Tevent's Arc of Wailing Death will be used in order to reach the important stat breakpoints.

Two pieces of the Shock Commander Set are used to increase Damage Reduction. Stacking defensive traits is critical to increasing survivability, and this build does just that.

Getting to 60 Perception is crucial because it determines how much the skills will hit. Since the build would be doing a lot of melee combat, this build also aims for 60 Strength. The rest of the remaining points would go to Dexterity, which would reach 30 points.

The check tree provides Gale Arrowhead, which is critical for reducing all skill cooldowns except Blitz. The rest of the points go into the support tree, as Anti-Magic Arts and Song of Grace are essential passives for survivability.

Since this build relies on Heavy Attacks, 9 points are spent in the Face Off tree to improve that aspect. The rest of the avaialble points goes to Incapacitate for more stun chance.

Shade Revenant SthenoShade Revenant Stheno Launches 5 projectiles at random enemies within a 10m range every second. A single enemy may be hit with multiple projectiles at the same time. Each projectile deals 52% of Base Damage.

Shade Revenant Stheno is the best option, as the build would keep the player in melee all the time, allowing Shade Revenant Stheno's Guardian effect to shine. Note, however, that the projectiles it launches will be distributed among multiple targets, so it is best used on targets that are alone.

Should the player find themselves engaging multiple targets in close vicinity quite often, Green Ranger Elowen is a great alternative, as it can bind all targets within a 4m radius if it hits.

Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.

Single Target Burst Rotation

DaVinci Deadly Marker Ensnaring Arrow Precision Dash Stunning Blow Death Blow Ascending Slash Guillotine Blade Blitz Devastating Smash Guillotine Blade (Half Charge)

As one of the team's frontline bruisers, look for high-value targets such as Healers or backline support classes. Use DaVinci's Courage for a Health buff, followed by Deadly Marker and Ensnaring Arrow on the chosen target.

Since Ensnaring Arrow would bind the target, there will be plenty of time to close the gap with Precision Dash. Once the target is in melee range, use Stunning Blow immediately, followed by Death Blow.

Before the target recovers, use Ascending Slash to knock them down and finish the rotation with Guillotine Blade. If the target is still alive, use Blitz to refresh the cooldown, then use Devastating Smash to stun the target.

Unfortunately, Devastating Smash's stun doesn't last long enough for a fully charged Guillotine Blade. It's best to only charge it halfway before unleashing it.

AoE Rotation

Tornado Flash Wave Blitz Flash Wave Precision Dash Guillotine Blade

Being on the front lines would mean actively looking for combat, not necessarily looking up to set up an AoE rotation. However, this class deals more damage to disabled targets and can capitalize on AoE setups executed alongside teammates.
