Tome of Resolve
Optimized variant of this build is built around Rune of Balthazar and will provide the highest DPS possible utilising both Viper and Sinister gear.
Universal variant uses Rune of the Renegade to use Viper gear sacrificing a small amount of DPS. The upside here is the ease of switching to other guardian builds like Condition Willbender (Universal) or Condition Quickness Firebrand.
Low intensity variant shares the same gear as universal variant and focuses on creating a more passive/slow rotation sacrificing considerable amounts of DPS. This is achieved mainly by swapping Loremaster
