Dragon Slash Warrior

 * Optional: Consider using Dash in place of Sprint, for more Frenzy cancelability.

Usage:
 * As a warrior you have one of the highest sustained DPS's in the game, try to always be attacking something so that the monks are forced to use up their energy.
 * Pressure multiple targets until your skills are charged.
 * Switch to an unprotected target and unleash your combo of Sever Artery->Gash->Sun and Moon Slash->Dragon Slash. Dragon Slash should give you enough adrenaline to move to a new target and unleash the chain again.


 * Use Protector's Strike against kiting targets to extract more damage.
 * Feel free to use Frenzy while you aren't being targeted, to provide more DPS as long as Sprint is recharge to cancel it out.
 * Use Sprint to stance-cancel Frenzy as well as to catch up to kiting foes.

Equipment:
 * Radiant Armor for Extra Energy
 * Superior Rune of Absorption


 * Weapon Sets:
 * Set 1: - Zealous Sword of Fortitude (+30hp), Shield of Fortitude (+30hp/-5 damage 20%)

CEnch Necro
Usage:
 * Shut down up to two melee (or Ranger) targets.
 * Target 1: Enfeeble -> Faintheartedness -> Parasitic Bond
 * Target 2: Enfeeble -> Price of Failure -> Parasitic Bond
 * Make sure to coordinate Price of Failure with the Illusion Spam Mesmer's Spirit of Failure in order to provide better shutdown, as well as more energy for the mesmer.
 * Note: Never cast Faintheartedness and Price of Failure on the same target, as they are counterproductive.


 * SPAM Corrupt Enchantment -> Parasitic Bond on foes with enchantments after EVERY recharge to provide -9 health degeneration. Also use it on important enchantments such as Protective Spirit, Attunements, etc. or on called targets (with enchantments) for more degen pressure.
