Skill Notes

传奇矮人姿态 can be taken instead of 传奇刺客姿态. This gives you access to the following:

• 抚伤之石 is a strong heal with Condition Removal
• 稳固激发 provides Stability in a large AoE
• 强制束缚 inflicts Slow and Taunt on a single target
• 复仇之锤 deals decent damage and grants you 20% damage reduction
• 崇高矮人仪式 is your elite which provides a 50% damage reduction and is a Stun Break.

传奇半人马姿态 can be taken in situations when projectile destruction is needed through 慰藉屏护. The Upkeep cost is huge and so this should only be a last resort.
