Signet of Malice

Resurrection Signet

• Signet of Malice may be replaced by Healing Signet, however, you will have to take off some Strength and put it into Tactics.
• You could also swap Signet of Malice out for Way of the Fox, to ensure your entire chain hits.

Equipment

• Survivor Insignias with one Stonefist Insignia. The Correct runes, Superior Absorption and Superior Vigor.
• A Zealous Hammer with the "I have the power!" Inscription and a perfect Fortitude mod.

Usage

• Charge your adrenaline on a target (preferably squishie).
• When your adrenaline is charged, pick a target.
• The skill combo should be Shadowy Burden->Burst of Aggression->Forceful Blow->Heavy Blow->Crushing Blow->Protector's Strike.
• After your chain use Signet of Malice to purge yourself of conditions.
• After your target is killed (if you do it right they should be dead) hack away at another target to regain energy and adrenaline.
• Rinse and Repeat.

Counters

• Blinding before you get off your chain.
• E-denial; this is a very energy-heavy build.
