Weapon Variants

• If you don't have a source of 激怒 in the group, you'll need to bring an Axe in the second set to provide it yourself.

Skill Variants

• 稳健急速 can be used in combination with 自由咒语 to provide 稳固 without swapping out a utility skill (which are all very powerful). Note that to maintain 急速, you need to use a charge of 自由咒语 every ~20s and consume all charges of 潜能咒语.
