This Ravager TL Build offers great immobilization options with abilities that Stun, bind, silence and setting enemies on Prone. You can follow up with strong abilities that deal massive single target damage on Stun and Prone enemies. This is a superb melee “Brawler” Build that deals massive damage when you execute your rotation correctly. It can also approach targets undetected thanks to its Camouflage Cloak ability. However you have to be close to your target to be effective, which also makes you more vulnerable. Additionally this Greatsword and Dagger PVP Build lacks a ranged attack and that makes it vulnerable to kiting.
