This build has been archived and is not updated by the GuildWiki community. This build is only maintained for historical reference and may contain incorrect or outdated information. Reason: Replaced by the superior Build:W/N The Quiverer

This build utilizes Quivering Blade for increased damage and dazed condition when faced with tough-to-kill monk bosses that spam Guardian/Aegis/Shield Guardian (such as the Dredge monks when with Mungri Magicbox). Also helps against Rangers and Warriors who use blocking stances and Ritualists' Weapon of Warding which cannot be stripped.

Quivering Blade

Wild Blow

Distracting Blow

Healing Signet

Resurrection Signet

Equipment

• It's good idea to use Gladiator's armor for extra energy
• Weapon one (when fighting): Zealous sword of Fortitude/Defense with 15>50 or +5 energy
• Weapon two (when running around or with a Spinal Shivers Necromancer): Icy sword of Fortitude/Defense with 15% vs. hexed

Usage

• Seek out a target to hit with Seeking Blade and Jaizhenju Strike.
• When adrenaline is built up, use Quivering Blade.
• Observe if you are dazed. If you are, hit Plague touch, then Wild Blow if it is a Mesmer (to disable Physical Resistance), Ranger or Warrior.
• If the target is evading do not use Quivering Blade and alternate between Seeking Blade and Jaizhenju Strike.
• If the target is blocking, keep using Quivering Blade when it charges and hit plague touch to transfer the dazed condition.
• Distracting Blow is used as an interrupt for long cast times.
• Use Healing Signet for healing.

Counters

• Evasion via Wards or enchantments.
• Anti-melee hexes such as Spiteful Spirit, Empathy, Soothing Images
• Energy Denial
• Hex Snares like Deep Freeze, Mind Freeze, Ethereal Burden
• Degeneration hexes

Variants

• In enchantment heavy areas with few or no stance users, drop Wild Blow for Gaze of Contempt.
• Signet of Strength instead of Distracting Blow when you have good interrupters on your team.
• Plague Sending instead of plague touch if you wish to spread dazed to more enemies. However, it is double the energy cost and has a recharge time of 5 seconds. Don't use plague sending because it's spell and when you are dazed it has double casting time and can be easily interrupted.
