Strategy
- Sentinel Strike is an exceptionally powerful perk. Although its shield regeneration is not good on higher difficulties, it provides a sizeable damage bonus that can be used consistently.
- Battle Rush is a mediocre perk. A 20% movement speed bonus is not very large by itself, and Dash already has a very short cooldown. There are very few circumstances where the player is able to kill an enemy to regain their Dash to save themselves from an attack.
- Berserker is a very powerful perk. It counts enemies that are within range but outside line of sight for its bonuses, and doesn't require the target to be within 10 metres[verification needed]. As such, the player can achieve large damage bonuses without fighting many enemies simultaneously and potentially reduce enough damage to survive attacks on higher difficulties.
- Combat Reflexes is a useful perk on a crit build due to its respectable damage bonus. Outside of a crit build, however, its crit chance bonus is not enough to support its crit damage bonus on its own.
- Resonant Wrath is a mediocre perk. Its damage sharing is too low to be notable.
