Equipment

• A Poisonous Recurve Bow of fortitude with "Strength and Honor" inscription.

• A Poisonous Longbow of Fortitude for hitting skills that enemies use before engaging (Aegis, Apply Poison).
• A Poisonous Flatbow of Fortitude for taking out Archers.
• A Spear/Shield +60 health defensive set with selection of shields.

Usage

• Maintain Apply Poison to spread Poison on your targets, and to cover any other conditions you (or allies) may apply.
• Target casters; primarily those that will have long-casting skills or will be a danger to your success, and begin hitting them with your attack skills.
• Do not spam the interrupts randomly, no matter how tempting it may be. Wait until the target is using a skill before interrupting it, otherwise you could be left with them recharging when an opportunity comes up.
• Use Mending Touch to remove conditions.
• Use Natural Stride for blocking and an IMS, use it to protect yourself from interrupts while using Apply Poison.
• Resurrect fallen allies with Resurrection Signet.
