Eh, not really.  It's just that our builds are part of our competitive advantage; it's one thing to share the general concepts in a public place, but sometimes we've got to play certain cards a little closer to our chests, eh?  I/We put a lot of time and effort into fine-tuning.  But I'm generally happy to help individuals with such things when I can.

Much appreciated, I'll hit you up at some point.

Been doing amazing in melee fights and camp flipping but pretty terrible against ranged duels and sometimes condi bursters

I've considered going back to Axe/Dagger Sword/Torch to see how it plays against ranged

I can definitely say that the build still works.  It's pretty tanky, lots of healing and whatnot.  Fought a 1v1 against a thief, when I downed him he alt-F4'd before I could stomp him >.>.  Another 1v1 against a burn guard, beat him pretty handily.  Got into a 1v1 stalemate against an Ele later.  I also soloed a tower.

My main difference from your build was the weapons (sword/torch axe/dagger) and I took Empathic Bond over Wilderness Knowledge for passive condi removal (since I was only running two survival skills).
