Playstyle

Role: DPS

Dodging deals damage and gives damage modifiers. Try to dodge before depleting initiative on the Staff 2 or Staff 5 (depending on whether you need an evade or not).

Activating Assassin’s Signet gives a short burst of damage which you want to stack most of your damage into. Wait to keep your initiative and then dodge, use Assassin’s Signet, and spam Staff 2 and Fist Flurry during it.

Position yourself at the maximum hit range while using Staff 1 so you can dodge through the boss and still be in range to damage them with your dodge and instantly go into Staff 2 afterwards.

  1. I believe “Dagger Training” might be wrong, since it’s a Staff/Shortbow build

    • it’s a minimal increase because you don’t get the doubled effect from daggers, but it’s still better than the other options
