Survival Build – Bloodied Blades

DESCRIPTION

This build is designed for versatility and balance, allowing you to face down virtually any solo content in the game without fear — from signet missions to scenarios. It provides high damage versus both single targets and groups, as well as strong self-healing to keep you alive through heavy punishment. While it is primarily a melee build, it also has many ranged attacks, allowing you to keep up the pressure when forced out of melee range.

HOW IT WORKS

Open with Sling Blade (versus single targets) or Forking Paths (versus groups) to apply Afflicted. Then use Clearing the Path. After that, it’s a fairly simple priority system. Use Sling Blade and Four Seasons on cooldown — though you may wish to skip Four Seasons if your enemy’s health is low. Use Bloodshot whenever you have two blood resources. Use Clearing the Path whenever you have four to five sword resources. Otherwise, spam Forking Paths to build resources. If you lose thirty percent of your health or more, use Turn the Tables. If you continue to lose significant amounts of health, use Martial Discipline to trigger the Regeneration passive.
