[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Impact] "Unrelenting/Cold Steel is the play here -- post-buff Unrelenting works incredibly well on Swords, and Cold Steel has fantastic synergy with Stasis subclasses, whether it be ability regen, or just straight up giving yourself an overshield on top of health regen from Unrelenting. Really unique concept, definitely worth holding on to."
