Repositioning in Packs

  1. Shift+RMB

    Waltz of Wind(best when navigating into or around a pack; no collision and +12 AP upon hitting a monster)
  4. S/A/D+RMB
    Evasive Explosion Shot(more of an “oh shit, where did my health go” panic button than a reposition ability, but it can work both ways)
