⚔️ Codex Notes

  • Spinslash vs Rend: Spinslash often outperforms Rend for bleed stacking and synergizes better with Execute. Rend front-loads damage but can interfere with Execute timing.
  • Swordsmanship Codex: Level Spinslash and Execute first for PvM. Rend optional if you prefer burst.
  • Healer's Codex: Enables fast, reliable healing that directly impacts survival.
  • Parrying Codex: Provides passive DR and access to stances like Sentinel or Thornwall that elevate front-line viability in hard content.

🧾 Playstyle

This build is all about uptime and sustained presence in melee combat. Frost slows enemies, making it easier to outlast packs while dealing steady damage.

  • Slows mobs to reduce incoming pressure
  • High survivability in solo dungeon content
  • Excels in 1vMany scenarios where uptime and healing consistency matter

🧠 Guild Notes

  • Reliable template for new and mid-tier players farming gold and scrolls
  • Easy to support in group content
  • Performs well without magic or pets

"Freeze them, bleed them, break them. The frost sword never rests."
