Hi everyone,

I'm not great at shattered and haven't played much since the duelist was introduced.

This run got me an early RoF and then a recent RoW. I haven't used any upgrade scrolls yet. Not a ton of great equipment. How do I play this? Brawler's stance seems pretty great, especially if I find a weapon with a lame special attack.

As soon as you reach 13 strength, try on that Mail Armor. If it's not upgraded, it's worth using a scroll on. I don't know how Ring of Force and Duelist interact, but I do know that Rapier damage is not enough for the Prison. Unequip the Rapier if you need to.

    Yep, that was the plan. Worked for a while really well til YASD.

    Check out RoF on duelist! Just like everyone else, having a weapon equipped makes RoF a way worse bonus than going unarmed. There isn't a special RoF attack either.

    But, the duelist has a whole extra mechanic called Brawler's Stance. You can be in it always. While in it, you do RoF damage but can use weapon abilities and proc enchantments. However, your weapon ability recharges at half speed.

    I also came across a Horn of Plenty, so at any time I could snack from it to increase my charges by 1 (first T2 talent iirc). Worked great.
