12.5-20% Critical Chance for 6s on successful Dodge.
12-24% Rending on Enemy Weak Spot Hit for 3.5s. Stacks 5 times.

32.5-40% Damage when shooting Enemies in the back.
Early on made a build like this with Tac Axe. Since Secrets of the Machine patch, it is now too difficult to justify tac axe. While VII does guarentee a stun on special hit, there are far too many maulers in elite squadrons.
This build takes advantage of Swift certainty (sprint counts as dodging) procs Good Balance (dmg reduction). Paired with blessing stripped down, basically procing some insane toughness dmg reduction.
Because this is a loner build, you will find yourself often charging into gun squadrons alone with high amounts of dmg reduction (Shield of Contempt 40% + Good Balance). If you are feeling spicy, you can forgo survivability for Duelist for more DPS. I just think its overkill.
The blessings Stripped down and Riposte are mandatory as they take advantage of being proced by Swift Certainty, as well as to run into gunner squadrons. Riposte triggers Enduring Faith and more crit (bleed). While bleed stacks are a popular choice, you have so much crit procs with this build that I find addiotional bleed to be unnceccesary unless intennding on a anti - Monster build.
You should get one Rend style blesssing for Catachan knife, as it makes bursting elite squadrons far easier. I don't like rending on backstab as much as rending on weakspot due to horde circumstances.
