Creator Notes

Optional

Your goal with this build should be to be as slippery as possible. In the past, Riposte would be the primary enabler for this--however, with the newest major patch, we now have to rely on actual skill and effort to not get turned into a paste. This leaves us with two goals; doing a lot of damage, and living to tell the tale. Try to engage in fights when your cooldowns are up, and play with your team once the game gets a bit further along. You need to be very mindful of your escape options, so have Dispel ready to prevent excessive CC and don't burn all of your stamina right away. You are not Shiv, so you cannot just soak all the damage... but damnit, you can sure try, with items like Witchmail and many of the veggies. Just be a menace, really.
