Skill Setup

Front Bar

Deadly Cloak is one of the best skills for Stamina classes. It gives Major Evasion, which reduces damage from area attacks by 20%.

Rapid Strikes is your spammable skill. 

Power of the Light is a great single target damage skill. 

Barbed Trap deals DoT damage and gives you Minor Force, increasing your Critical Damage by 10%.

Blazing Spear deals AoE damage. You can also replace this skill with Razor Caltrops for solo gameplay.

Flawless Dawnbreaker gives you an additional 300 Weapon Damage for 20 seconds while debuffing the enemies with a 6-second DoT.

Back Bar

Stampede is a very powerful AoE ability.

Carve is a strong single-target and AoE bleed ability. You also gain a damage shield from the skill.

Ritual of Retribution will constantly be dealing AoE damage to enemies. 

Resolving Vigor is your healing skill.

Repentance gives Health and Stamina back to you and your teammates.

Empowering Sweep is your primary Ultimate skill.

If you want to use a Bow on your back-bar, you can replace Stampede and Carve with Endless Hail and Poison Injection.
