Guide
Use victory wine to fill the missing gaps in affixes from the purple code. affixes are listed in priority for green-blue.
keep constant pressure with the new distance on evade attacks and super armor on charged heavies
while maintaing strong defensive turns with a VERY low cd parry (10 flat - 5 when you block an attack with it)
attempt to manually pop your delayed withers if possible to enable the spreading talents to actually work. and remember that radiant ret does execute in this set up.
