Carve
Free3s cdInstantMelee
A swift main-hand strike for 50% weapon damage.
How it plays
A dual-wielder whose hands are not interchangeable. The one-handed sword or axe in the main hand exists to provoke the off-hand knife, and the knife is where the damage actually lives: Blade Dance gives every auto-attack a chance at a free off-hand strike, and every main-hand and off-hand pair builds Momentum. All three finishers spend the entire Momentum bar at once, so dumping it the moment it ticks over is the easy and expensive mistake.

How it plays
A knife spec that wins by attrition. Both blades carry a different poison, Toxin from the main hand and Blight from the off, and every tick of them pays Venom, as does each Poisoned Blades — there is no passive regeneration at all. Envenom and Corrupt spend the whole bar, so pooling Venom makes a bigger press: Envenom turns it into a poison of its own, and Corrupt into a burst on a whole pack that moves the Blight off your target onto its neighbours.
