StatsDEF% › ACC › SPD › C.RATE › C.DMG

BuildAll three attacks scale off DEF (A1 4.15x, A2 4.2x, A3 6.4x DEF), so DEF% feeds both damage and his reflect/tank job. Needs ACC for Provoke and Decrease C.Rate to stick (~200+ for late dungeons). Lifesteal/Bloodthirst stacks with the A3 self-heal for sustain; Zeal + Speed/Accuracy if fielded in arena.

BlessingCruelty

Skill floorA3 Driven to Slaughter chance books (75%→100% Provoke) are the floor for his tank/control seats — an unreliable Provoke defeats the point; A2 Doomwheels chance books (75%→100% Decrease C.Rate) matter for Ice Golem and Clan Boss safety. Cooldown books on both are luxury.
