Weapon and Skill Details

Sword + Horn for mobility to get to points asap. Swap to hammer to chill foes and immobilize > smash to a pulp.


II. Traits

Adept Master Grandmaster

Trait Details

Balance between damage and survivability. May want to switch from Defense: Last Stand (VIII) to Defence: Merciless Hammer(X) depending on preference. I personally don't find the 20% recharge and 25% damage increase as being vital during my gameplay whereas being stunned or immobilized really hurts this builds efficiency.

Upgrade Item Details

Constant source of healing from shouts and condition removal from runes keeps you extremely bunker. 1 vs 1 usually ends in me just standing at point taking 0 ranged damage or 3 vs 1 surviving until support arrives to keep point. Sigil of hydromancy to rush up on someone and chill them to followup with complete immobilization with hammer skills.
