Guide
If you're playing Withered Knight and struggling to land the stun → RMB shield combo against enemies with Resilience, try running Curse 2. It helps you get the stun into the RMB shield follow-up more reliably, giving you a much better damage window against tankier targets. I’ve been using this setup in my PvP games and it makes the combo feel much more consistent. Full gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-v0qijVrUI&lc=Ugzu2Ipd8r7fzMQTh054AaABAg (trio)

Can swap out Sacred Body for Focus for solos.
