This build is the one we've had the most success with during New World's newest expansion and season 3. This build focuses on the Serenity Great Sword artifact. The defiance stance combined with the blocking power of heavy armor has proved quite lethal while having a lot of defenses. High fortification and mitigation along with speed and aggressive healing. Even in heavy armor, our heavy attacks provide a lot of pressure. Keen speed accelerated resolve, and two gap closers will also make dealing with runners and ranged players a little easier. The gear is still not finalized.
